"Awesome services. I was so lucky to handle by this superb gentle lass. That helps me to dress up, to make up to hair styles.
Rent this kimono come with hairstyle at Yen 11,000 (pay by phone card, if pay by cash is Yen 10,000)
Make up additional Yen 5000. What I like is they used Nars foundation and nice smell make up.
The directions is kinda confusing. Once u follow the map, u see this kimono mannequin , then the building gate. After that take the lift to level 4."

"Very good expirience. The staff were very helpful. The photographers were also very good, very helpful took amazing photos. they gave us all the photos they took which was about 300. Afterwards we walked around the shine and temple, you can keep the kimono's for the day before returning them. They have a huge selection as well. Very professional. I would strongly recommend. Keep in mind to book 1- weeks in advance as they fill up very quickly."

"Very satisfying service and results. We booked two times, day and night. Sensoji Temple was beautifully lit up at night. The photographer was very patient in guiding us because we are quite awkward in posing for the camera. All components of the team were very satisfying. Starting from the very beautiful clothes, very neat and good makeup, a very kind and patient photographer, to the speed in sending the photos. The location of Sensoji Temple is also very close, so there is no need to walk far for photos. Thank you to everyone involved."
