Asakusa Kimono Photography Tour (Private Option Available)

Absolutely phenomenal had a blast and learned a lot from my guide. Who went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with every process.

I booked this photoshoot for me and my husband as a way to get amazing pictures on our trip without the stress of having to take them myself. Our guide was Gota-san. We arrived early at the meeting place and he was already there and he was easy to find as he had a sign. Gota-san was so kind and respectful. He showed us what we'd be doing for the tour so we knew what to expect. The kimono rental was fun. I don't know if I could have found the rental place without Gota-san. I speak a little Japanese, but my husband doesn't speak any. Not a problem! The kimono staff were so nice and had plenty of English signs. Our guide spoke English well. The package includes a standard kimono, but you can upgrade your look. I got a slight kimono upgrade and just paid for any add-ons before I left he rental shop. (It comes with a simple hair-do for women, special shoes, and a bag). At the temple, Gota-san pointed out interesting facts about Senso-ji and knew just where to take amazing pictures. His directions were clear and he was so encouraging that we were posing well (we've never done anything like this before). There were lots of other people there in kimono and they were taking pictures too, so we didn't feel self-conscious. Our guide said we'd have the pictures in 36 hours, but I got them before that! They came out amazing! They'll be great Christmas cards and I definitely want one framed in our house to remember this special trip.

I had one of the most wonderful experiences of my first trip to Tokyo here. Although I unfortunately arrived a little late, Mai welcomed me very warmly and helped me choose my yukata. The yukata rental is provided by a separate rental service, but the staff there were also very friendly and helpful with both the selection and getting dressed. The photoshoot takes you through the shopping streets of Asakusa and around Sensoji, one of the most beautiful and traditional areas of Tokyo. Mai gave me lots of interesting information about the different places and things we encountered and was always happy to answer my questions. I was a little nervous before the photoshoot, as I don’t usually feel particularly comfortable in front of a camera. Mai did an excellent job of showing me how and where to position myself, and took some really beautiful photos throughout Asakusa and Sensoji. She made the whole experience feel very natural and comfortable. What I especially appreciated, though, were the relaxed conversations we had throughout the afternoon. Mai not only shared lots of interesting things about Asakusa and Japanese culture, but also gave me some personal recommendations for dishes and restaurants away from the usual tourist crowds. She even offered to answer questions and share recommendations via WhatsApp afterwards, which I really appreciated. That personal touch made the experience feel like much more than just a photoshoot. It was a genuinely enjoyable afternoon with a very kind and knowledgeable person. I can absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who would like to wear traditional Japanese clothing, have some beautiful photos taken, and learn more about Asakusa along the way. Thank you so much, 舞, for such a wonderful afternoon!

Booked an experience through magical trips and the ladies were polite and a nice range of kimonos although a lot of things were at an additional cost so bear this in mind when booking but well worth it in my opinion! Geto-san was a fabulous photographer and really nice guide. Overall great experience. Thank you!

I had an amazing experience using this company and having Gota as our photographer. What makes this experience so unique is that you get to dress up in a beautiful kimono of your choosing as well as take beautiful photos while getting a tour of some of the most popular attractions in Tokyo. Gota is a very skilled photographer who was very patient, kind, and has an awesome eye and attention to detail in order to get your best shots! I was thoroughly impressed with the entire process. This was one of my most memorable experiences so far in Tokyo and Gota largely contributed to making it that way. Additionally, our photos were sent to us very timely. The staff were also very helpful and patient and took the time to help us choose the kimono that most complimented us. Don't hesitate to book this activity and request Gota if you can. You will not be disappointed!!

GOTA is THE GOAT!!! I HAD THE BEST TIME GETTING EDUCATED DURING THE TOUR AND FEELING LIKE A QUEEN IN A KIMONO!! He had several ideas for photos, amazing direction, patience when we went to the KIMONO shop. I legit referred someone to him while on the photo shoot lol. That's how great he was. Will visit when I'm back in another time. I'm here to support this for sure!!!

This is one of the few experiences that included y children, 5 and 14 for me. My girls loved their kimonos, there was a stroller rental right across which was so amazing to keep my 5 year old engaged. Gota was our photographer. He was relaxed and fun. Introduced us to melon bread which was such a fun addition to our experience. I recommend an early morning or late evening to have less crowd if that works for your schedule.

Gota-san took excellent photos and made the overall experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend this if you are looking for a memorable experience at Senso-ji and nearby areas. Thank you so much!

My daughter and I had a great experience with Gota. He took us to many places to take pictures. He was really good about showing us where to stand and how to pose which we really appreciated. And the kimono rental process was really smooth too.

We had a really good time. The kimono rental experience was great and the tour for all the photos was fun and informative. We really like that we were told exactly where and how to pose.

I had an excellent time with Gota! He made it very fun and had some really interesting information about Asakusa and the surrounding area. And the kimono was beautiful. If you are interested in dressing up I highly recommend!

We had such an amazing time with Gota- he took beautiful pictures of my daughters and I and we saw some great sites around Asakusa :) highly recommend!

This was a great and fun experience. Mai-san was kind and sweet. She took great fotos even though the weather wasn't ideal. Highly recommend this and her. Arigato ne, Mai-san!💯❤️

Hi Gota Murakami You’re a very dedicated photographer. Of course I will write you a nice review. Nice to worked with you. I had a great time 🤩 . Highly recommended to all my friend. Arigatō gozaimasu Thanh - San

Kentake took us on a wonderful tour around Asakusa and took lovely photos of us in our kimonos. The kimono rental shop had a fabulous selection and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Kentake also gave great directions for taking photos and was very receptive when we had requests.

Gota was great. He’s patient and provided good tour and good information. Kimono photo and rental were fun. Thank you so much. Enjoy Japan.

Gota was really professional and I had a great photography tour with him! Highly recommend! Gota and I had to wait for each other 30 minutes past tour start time since the company told us different meet up locations and wouldn’t let us communicate with each other directly, and the crowd started to become difficult to take photos. It was affecting both myself and the photographer so it was a shame.

The photographer is very helpful and friendly. He taught me how to pose and explain the history of the places we went. The photos are very nice. 👍🏻

I had a wonderful experience. I am very shy and was nervous about doing a solo photoshoot but Gota-san was very kind and I didn’t t feel uncomfortable at all. Also the photos were amazing! 10/10 I would recommend to family.

We had an amazing time touring Asakusa in our kimonos and getting photos taken by Gota-san! He was always cheerful and took so many great pictures of us 😊

Gota-san is a great photographer, was very professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though I’m usually a bit shy. He guided me through different poses and locations. It was such a special experience and I highly recommend this photoshoot to anyone visiting Asakusa.

The tour was so much fun, Gota-san was very friendly, knowledgeable and speaks very good English. We got in early so there weren't many people on the streets and our photos turned out great, by the time we were finished the streets were packed so I recommended getting in early.

My friend and I had a great photography experience! We absolutely love the edits on the photos and thought the entire experience was professional yet super fun! Our photographer was great!

Gota was fantastic! He was friendly, very informative and energetic. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it to anyone. The photos also came out fantastic. One of the highlights of my trip

My photographer was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I had a great experience and would highly recommend. The time flew by and it was very enjoyable.

It was such a lovely experience ; everything was very pleasant ; and the guide was very nice , he explained everything so clear !! Thanx

My family of four did the photography tour- it started out a little rough as my 8 year old was not happy at all to be in kimono and taking pictures, was purposefully turning backwards and making bad faces, and our photographer just went with it, didnt make a big deal, and after 10 minutes or so my son happily joining in. The photos were in my email by that evening and the images were great. Highly recommend.

We spent a great morning with Ken Take, he led us to the Kimono Place where we got dressed in beautiful Kimonos. Then we went to the Asakusa Shrine together - Ken Take knew the best photo spots and good stories about the Place. After showing us around and taking pictures we also had some time on our own. We really enjoyed the event and time with Ken Take, who also gave us additional information for our trip forward. Many thanks for having us.

A high-quality handicraft shop in Asakusa, Tokyo, specializing in authentic Japanese KIMONO T-shirts, bags, shoes, hats, and more. Stylish and trendy products with a unique kimono spirit. All items are proudly made in Japan. The friendly staff speaks English—an ideal shopping experience for everyone. You'll find it there whether you're looking for the perfect premium gift or a personal collection piece.

This tour is great, for a couple of hours you walk through typical places with the guide who explains the history of the place and why it is special for Japenese people. Plus, the guide takes à lot of photos of you, which is a perfect souvenir you take back with you !

Really enjoyed this tour. We could choose from a bunch of different colored kimonos and the staff of the store was really helpful. The pace was really nice and Asakusa is the ideal spot for those photos in kimonos. I had a blast walking around in traditional clothes and having our guide giving us historical review of the place

Kentake is a great guy! Very likable and entertaining - I really liked your initiative and you could also tell how much experience and knowledge he has in the history of Japan. I can only recommend it to everyone! 👍👍

Great experience with Gota Murakami who is an excellent photographer. A very good welcome with an exciting journey in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. A memory that will remain in my memory for a long time.

I loved the visit to Asakusa in a kimono. The photographer showed us various breaks that we could take for photos, the places chosen frankly very well. And the result, just beautiful!
