This is one thing that I'll definitely remember about my trip to Tokyo.
The activity itself began by finding the studio. It is well indicated, but since it's in the second floor of a small building, it's a little bit confusing.
Once the activity started, I could feel very welcome indeed. The studio itself was a very enjoyable place, full of incredibly gorgeous dresses, from kimonos to more traditional kinda-Rococó styled ones, including also other types of clothing items such as school uniforms, skirts, etc.
The lady at the studio was incredibly welcoming. At first, she introduced herself and asked about what kind of style I was thinking about, to find the correct coordination between dresses, makeup, wigs and accessories. One thing I had to do, though, was to shave again, since even a one day's stubble can bring the image down. This was not a problem, since she had on hand shaving utensils, including foam and one-use-only shavers.
Once the activity started, she had me put on the kimono underside, and we proceeded to the makeup & wig phase. She was very professional, but also quite nice to talk to her about the whole process. After I had makeup on, I had to choose the wig from a quite spectacular array of wigs of different lengths and colours. And, after that, we went to the main part of the event, the furisode kimono.
I had chosen the base package plus an extra kimono, so in total I wore two furisode kimono. These have very long sleeves, and are decorated quite lavishly, so they were a feast for the eyes. I ended up choosing one in pink and one in black & red, which were gorgeous!. She helped me put them on, all the while explaining their peculiarities and the way you're supposed to wear them.
The photos were also a highlight of the session. 50 were included, but she graciously ended up giving some more to me as a "bonus". She copied them to a memory card I provided.
All in all, I can only recommend this activity. You won't regret it!
