Great experience
Reviewed by: Sasha, 2016/02/27We love sakura studio as their provide fast and efficient service from the kimono choosing process and hair do. Some how just a minor irritation when its get too crowded in the shop. There is no personal room/separate room for gents or ladies as well as locker to put your valuable stuff. Its kinda bit of discomfort when other guy looking at you dressing up. Make sure to wear not see through clothing for your inner because you need to wear your kimono in-front of others. Overall, it can be improve in future and the host is great in many languages!

Crazy environment but GOOD price and Better service
Reviewed by: Robert, 2015/11/29These women work so hard to "get it right" so the tight quarters become almost a part of the experience.

great day! great dress!
Reviewed by: Doc Nice, 2015/11/05I've always wondered how it felt like to wear a Kimono. I never knew how elaborate it is to wear it, until I tried it. It was so beautiful... I was carefully dressed up from head to foot by three people, as if I was a VIP. Their efforts paid off since many strangers praised how I looked.Walking around wearing the Kimono was an experience I'll never forget. In fact, I will do it again if I will have the chance to go back to Japan.

Great Time in Asakusa
Reviewed by: Oradee, 2015/09/11I am very impressed with service and Kimono dressed up experience in Asakusa last year so this year I returning with my two brothers. Both of them get an attention from tourist some tourist asked them if they can take their photos. I wear my own Yukata this year but the service my brother received was great with professional and attention. They dressed up in about 15 minutes after chosen the Kimono. I would recommended Kimonos dressed up experience if anyone plan to come to Asakusa.

very nice Kimono choices
Reviewed by: MHZ, 2015/07/14This is the only place we found offer Kimono, not simple summer clothing in Tokyo. The selection is very broad in all kinds of colors. The dressing service and over experience is wonderful. The photographer is nice too. It is important to keep in mind that the photography fee is depending on number of people in the group. So since we have 3 people, we need to pay 15,000 JPN Yen for hiring the photographer.

Great service and beautiful kimonos!
Reviewed by: a.d., 2015/07/10We actually ended up arriving to the kimono studio on the wrong day but they were so accommodating and allowed us to get the kimono dressing done that day even though they were busy. They have a heap of kimonos to choose from, lots of hair accessories, and the hair lady does wonderful braids. For location, it was easy to find, just remember it is down the street where starbucks is !

Awesome experience, lots of fun, lovely service.
Reviewed by: Kristy, 2014/11/26The women were very lovely and sweet, and they worked very hard to make the dress up a great experience for us. There was a giant variety in kimonos, especially considering my friend was 5'5" and I'm 5'11. The service was prompt and excellent, and we had a lot of fun and lovely reactions when we walked around the Asakusa Shrine nearby. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone, it was the best thing I did in my time in Japan and well worth the money.

I felt like a celebrity.
Reviewed by: Noreen-QQEnglish, 2014/10/17One of the most anticipated experience in Japan was wearing the traditional kimono. I didnt know there were so many things needed to complete a kimono. We walked around Asakusa and all the tourists were clicking their cameras. I felt like a celebrity. It was a very good experience I can never forget.

Very excellent shop. I would go back.
Reviewed by: Nathan, 2014/10/17We had an excellent experience at Seisouji. We arrived at our scheduled appointment and was immediately greeted by a very friendly staff and they showed us a few choices of kimonos to choose from. Once we chose our kimonos my girlfriend and I were greeted down stairs by a rickshaw that gave us a very nice tour and dropped us off close to Seisouji where we walked around and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon receiving many random compliments from strangers. It was a very fun experience and I highly suggest it to anyone looking for a fun afternoon in Asakusa. The staff spoke and understood very good English so communicating was never a problem. :)

Very fun!
Reviewed by: Miki Mouse, 2014/10/16I’m glad that I took part in this tour. I joined with a friend, and it was as if we both turned into models.
First of all, the studio is conveniently located, only 1-3 minutes from Kaminari-mon on foot. As it’s a rented room in a building, it was hard to find it. When we went inside, Kyonming spoke to use politely. The studio is small, but Kyongming made us really cute. We wore elegant kimonos with Nagoya obis. I recommend the Nagoya obi highly.
They arranged my hair simply and put 3 hair accessories on my hair! After putting Kimono on, it's time for a photo shoot! I was so excited about getting photographed and making many poses in Asakusa! Please have a look at pictures I attached! We had free time until 5 so had a stroll in Asakusa. However, tourists looked at us, they wanted take our pictures like paparazzi, so we were in many pictures with people from many countries for their souvenirs.
It was the best experience ever. I would love to do it with my friends again! You should try it at least once, as it is a rare opportunity to take pictures of you wearing Kimono at this price!

Nice experienced and enjoyable
Reviewed by: Oradee, 2014/09/21My husband and I arrived an hour late due to our mistake with trains. Despite this we received a warm welcome from Sakura-san. She was welcoming to both of us. She let me choose the Kimono and dressed me. She chose the flowers and shoes to match with the Kimono. I brought a paper fan but rented an umbrella as it was a hot day. Sakura San also gave me a 5% off voucher for rickshaw but I did not use it. I received compliments from many Japanese woman and also a lot of attention from tourists. I was asked by a western tourist if he could take my photo. I was very pleased with her service as I would recommend it to any lady to when in Tokyo. Asakusa is an appropriate location.

Kimono Dress-up Experience at Asakusa
Reviewed by: Ven, 2014/08/25Trying this out was definitely one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Tokyo. The photo studio had a wide range of choices for kimonos with matching hair accessories. I liked how Sakura-san did my makeup and how she directed the photo shoot. Asakusa was lovely, I wish I could have allotted more time for this activity as there were so many nice places to see and stop by! I really hope I could do this again when I visit Tokyo.

WONDERFUL LIFE-TIME EXPERIENCE!!
Reviewed by: Emily, 2014/04/26My friend and I had a wonderful time having ourselves dressed up in Kimonos (size UK14 to 18)..feeling great and walking along the streets of Asakusa, taking in the wonderful feel of Spring, with full bloom sakura trees around. We also engaged a cameraman to tale pictures of us. A once in a lifetime experience, wonderful and it does not hurt my pocket ;) I would highly recommend this unique and life time experience to those who wish to experience for themselves, one of many Japanese cultures. Thanks to our host, Kiyomi and her team (1 other assistant and Hiroshi, the cameraman).
