Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo
Beautiful Kimonos and Incredible welcome
Reviewed by: Ffion
As there were no reviews of this experience, I was not sure what to expect but as soon as our taxi pulled up at the address and there was a clear sign directing to us to the right floor, I was reassured!
We were greeted by two incredibly hospitable and welcoming Japanese ladies who were incredibly passionate about their business. It was honestly a priviledge to visit them in their studio. First there was the opportunity to choose a Kimono to my tastes and then they did my hair in a style fitting for the Kimono (you also get to choose matching hair accessories too) which was great. After this I touched up my make up and they began to put the Kimono on.
The main experience is then having your photos taken in the studio part along with some fun Japanese accessories. For this experience you have one printed photo included from the photo shoot and you can pay extra to take the digital prints away - which I did as it wasn't too expensive.
I can honestly say that the whole experience was fun and professional with the Japanese ladies making you feel totally at ease the whole time. My husband came along (but he didn't fancy dressing up!) and they made him feel very welcome too and let him take photos of me for free in the kimono outside of the studio too (which I thought was very generous).
After the photo shoot we were both served some delicious green tea and Japanese sweets which ended off the experience brilliantly. This was a totally worthwhile experience and in my opinion much better than walking around outside in a Kimono which I saw lots of tourists do! The quality of their kimonos is so much better and as they are more princess style, it feels incredibly luxurious to wear them. As the lift doors closed at the end of this experience we were left with the image of the two ladies bowing to us on our way out - I cannot rate them highly enough.
Overall a fantastic experience and I'm so glad I chose to do it!

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo
Wonderful Japanese Shoot
Reviewed by: Andy
We signed up for the kimono experience plan because my wife loves Japan and has always wanted to try on a Kimono. The whole experience turned amazing. Despite being unfamiliar with the area, the studio was very, very easy to find located in the NW corner of JR Meguro. The studio itself was very inviting and personal. We were greeted by the girls who spoke English and were super friendly. They informed us on the schedule and details of our plan, so there were no surprises later. Once done, she provided me with a catalog with all the different traditional Japanese men’s wear to choose from. As I have never worn this before, I definitely needed the ladies to help me so that I didn’t wear the pants on backwards! We then proceeded to the studio where they took probably 15-20 photos. They had all sort of different props from me ranging from samurai swords to Japanese umbrellas which was fun. The shoot throughout was very engaging, where the photographer is constantly interacting with you. As I never have modeled for anything, she was very helpful in terms of telling me how to pose, where to put my arm, and where to look. At no point during the shoot did I feel uncomfortable or unnatural. Once done, they allowed you back to the dressing room, where you were actually allowed to use your own phone or camera to take a few pictures for yourself! Since I only purchased the basic package, I was able to choose only 1 pic. However, many of the photos really turned out well and getting extras weren’t so expensive so I picked up more. Even if I selected the whole package of the shoot, the cost was still fairly reasonable (5000 yen). Best of all, the girls are never pushy for you to buy any photos. All in all, this turned out to be a wonderful experience and probably was the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this for anyone coming to Japan and hoping for a Japanese experience with pictures to remember.
Dear Andy, thank you very much for your review and we are glad that you had a wonderful experience. It might be one good thing that our customers can use their own cameras and take kimono photos at our fitting room. We hope you and your wife love Japan more!

Fantastic! A great experience!
Reviewed by: Caroline
Our family all really enjoyed making the wax food models, it was one of the highlights of our trip. Our host had enough English to explain what to do, but we weren't expecting this, so that was an added bonus. We were all really pleased with our creations!
The travel directions were accurate and easy to follow and we found it to be very accessible. In addition, it was also very good value.
Hello, Guest
I thank you for your visit.

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo
Friendly ladies who will not only dress you up as a princess but also make you feel like a one!
Reviewed by: Nikki
When I first booked this experience, I expected that (because kimono is quite an expensive thing) I will feel uncomfortable wearing it and taking pictures. As I come from the country where people providing services are not really that friendly I also expected formal atmosphere. But the reality was complete opposite! The three ladies working at the studio Wa were soooo friendly and created such a atmosphere, that I couldn´t help but laugh during the whole photoshooting. When we entered the studio, they already expected me and my friend and we received very warm welcome. Then they arranged our hairstyle very pretty so it will match with kimono and we got to choose the hair accessory on our own. Also we chose the kimono we wanted to take pictures in. Even though it took us quite a lot of time they waited patiently for us to decide. Then one of the ladies helped us with wearing kimono and the others prepared for the photoshooting. They took around 20 pictures of each of us (also with some props like a sword, flowers, an umbrella) . Then we took off the kimono and got to choose one picture to be printed out. Me and my friend were so satisfied with the pictures that we decided to pay for all of them to get them on CD. While we waited for the CDs, the ladies served us with original japanese matcha - green tea and sweets. For the whole time we were there, they were really friendly. The best hospitality! Even when we returned home and I had a problem displaying pictures on my computer, so I wrote to the studio and they replied within few hours and sent me pictures again.
Honestly, I can´t find anything to complain about. The whole studio is really cozy and close to the Meguro Station, and one lady can speak English very well. I will definitely recommend this place not only here but also to my friends. And I really wouldn´t mind taking my pictures in kimono there again :) They also have a facebook page so you can check some of the photos there.
Dear Nikki, thank you very much for such a kind review, especially we are impressed with the word, "The best hospitality!" Yes, "friendly" is probably the best word to describe our studio. We are always want our customers to smile here. In fact, we really enjoyed the photo session on the day, too! Please come back again if you have any chance, we are always looking forward to seeing you someday :)

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo
Very enjoyable experience
Reviewed by: Andy
I participated in this activity in the beginning of April with my friend and it was a very enjoyable experience. The Kimono studio is a quite small business with a family atmosphere. There were no other customers at the time, which seemed to be the standard circumstances. The two of us had 3 women staff at our disposal, who took very good care of us. They brushed our hair, provided basic make-up products and dressed us in the kimono of our choosing, which would have been very complicated otherwise. There were about 7 types of kimono in different colours to choose from. If you want your choice to match you perfectly, ask them to show you the real kimono, because the photograph in the catalogue is quite misleading. The shooting itself took about fifteen minutes. You can tell it is not a professional shooting session, but the staff is very pleasant and they try hard to make it work. They also have some additional accessories such as umbrellas, flowers, fans and katanas. Every one of us got 20 photos and we could choose one to be printed out free of charge. If you want the digital version of the whole collection, you need to pay extra money and they burn it out for you on a cd. After the shooting we received a real matcha tea and some sweats. To sum up, this activity is definitely worth the money. It is a great experience!
Dear Andy, thank you very much for your review. We are glad to hear you had a great experience with us. I learned a lot from your review, we would like to increase more kimono selections and would like to advise more for the kimono match when our customers choose kimono. We really appreciate 5 star review and please have a nice stay in Japan!!

definitely recommended!!!
Reviewed by: hazel
Definitely recommended for families travelling to tokyo with young children. It was held in a cosy home environment, easy to find with instructions upon booking and kids got mostly hands on experience to make the plastic food samples. We picked the sundae and ramen but if I were to do it again will pick curry rice and tempura too..value for money for the experience. They made sure to pack the items probably before u left...nothing but praise for them!

Great Experience!
Reviewed by: Jason
This cruise was one of the best experiences that I have had in tokyo! The staff were very accommodating (even though their English was very limited) and this enhanced the experience many times! The views of tokyo once the boat stops were breathtaking and the overall feeling was relaxed and fun. It also seemed to be very popular with locals (as we were the only foreigners on the cruise) but this made everything much more enjoyable! Highly recommended!

We had a great time!
Reviewed by: Youngjoon Park
It was held in a small workshop located in a residential area. In the workshop, 3 other families were creating ramen (Chinese noodle) and tempura. Our children were really excited. We made a reservation for the parfait-making plac. The instructor taught us very politely and we did not have to worry (As our child is an elementary school student, we worried she might have some difficulties making the parfait).
It was fun to see that the parfait slowly taking shape. Our child was also happy to see it. We had a great time as a family thanks to this experience. We would like to do this again. Next time we will try making the ramen and tempura.

乗合屋形船 お台場＆スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理＆飲み放題付！ 全船掘りごたつ＆スカイデッキ完備＜両国発＞by 晴海屋
今年最後の贅沢！
Reviewed by: てぃこ
屋形船には、以前夏にもんじゃ焼き食べ放題で乗ったことがありましたが、今回は冬。どんなだろう～？と思っていましたが、お鍋に天麩羅！夜景に花火まで！大正解でした。今年最後のよい思い出となりました。
■駅～乗船まで
勝どき駅から2～3分程度歩き、橋を渡ると、たくさんの人が集まっていたので集合場所はすぐにわかります。
晴海屋さんのスタッフの方に船を確認し、15分前くらいから順番に乗船となります。靴も靴箱に入れていただき、スムーズに中に入ることができました。
■食事
机の上には席札が置いてあり、料理も準備されています。着席するとすぐに冷え冷えの瓶ビールが運ばれてきました。お刺身、お鍋も美味しく、天麩羅は揚げたてが出てきてサクサク！とても嬉しかったです。ご飯とお漬物の後は、フルーツや白玉デザートも。お腹パンパンになりました。
■花火と夜景
この日はちょうど今年最後の花火が上がるということで、19時〜10分間、間近で鑑賞することができました。スカイデッキの上では寒くてブルブル震えていましたが、雲もなく空気が澄んでいることもあり、とっても綺麗でした。お台場の夜景、屋形船のネオン、レインボーブリッジもずっとみていたいくらいで、癒されました。
■サービス
ひととおり堪能した後、残り30分くらいになった頃、スタッフの方がひと席ずつまわり、挨拶をしてくださいました。
快気祝い、合格祝いで利用された方がいて、最後に晴海屋さんからのプレゼントがありました。事前に伝えておくと記念日のサービスを受けることもできるそうです。
次回は、家族の記念日や友人との食事会にも利用してみたいなと思いました。

Worth it!
Reviewed by: Miss C
I don't usually write reviews, but this was really great. I went with a group of friends, and everyone had lots of fun. The hostess spoke perfect English, and was so welcoming. She explained everything (about the sights, food, drinks) in both English and Japanese. The fresh tempura was really good, and they kept the drinks coming!
We were super lucky too, because in December (on Saturdays) there are fireworks. If you can go on a Saturday in December, I really recommend it. Make sure you go out onto the roof, because seeing all the colorful boats on the water was really pretty.
Thank you, we hope to come back again.

クリスマスのライトアップがキレイ♪
Reviewed by: YuKi
初の屋形船に乗ってきました。狙った訳ではないのですが、ちょうどクリスマス前。屋形船ってお料理を楽しむものだと思ってましたが、ライトアップされた夜景がこんなにキレイに見られるなんて知りませんでした！
クリスマス仕様にライトアップされたレインボーブリッジ、フジテレビ、スカイツリーなどをのんびりゆったり船上から楽しめます。写真スポットではデッキに上がることもできるので、東京イルミネーションの絶景を独り占め！混雑するお台場までイルミネーションを見に行くより、優雅な気分でした。
お料理にももちろん大満足。懐石料理、鍋の後は揚げたての天麩羅！満席だったのですがスタッフさんが手際よくテーブルを回って、揚げたての天麩羅を一品ずつ提供してくれます。ボリュームもあり男性でも満足できそう。ほんとに美味しかったのですが、あまりのボリュームで私は一品残してしまいました。ごめんなさい・・
忘年会シーズンだからか船は満席。ファミリーやカップル、女子会の他、カナダとシンガポールからの観光客も一緒でした。ハチマキした姉さんが、日本語と流暢な英語で交互に解説してくれる観光ガイドにも感動！ちゃきちゃきの江戸っ子風姉さんが喋る迫力ある英語もひとつの名物になるくらい、見応え（聞き応え？）たっぷりの解説でした。
最後にはお誕生日のお客さんへ完璧な発音の英語でバースデーソングを歌い上げ、圧巻でした！
期待して乗った屋形船でしたが、ほんとに期待以上！これは家族や友達、みんなにオススメできます。

家族4人、全員屋形船は初めてという事で未知の体験に期待しつつ参加しました。
この日のルートは、レインボーブリッジ、東京スカイツリー、東京タワー、お台場といったスポットを回るものでした。
船からの景色はもちろん素晴らしいのですが、スタッフの方のガイドにちょいちょい含まれる豆知識がまた面白く、とても楽しめました。
料理も刺身や天ぷらなど盛りだくさんで、ボリュームもありなかなかの食べ応えでした。わりと大食い一家なのでボリュームに若干不安があったのですが杞憂でした。
飲み放題もついているので私はお酒、家族はジュースで大満足。
参加者の中に当日お誕生日の方がおり皆でお祝いしたり、アイスクリームを売りに来る船が登場したりとイベントも盛りだくさんでした。
そして何よりスタッフの皆さんがとても気さく、対応も素晴らしかったです。
息子が食物アレルギー持ちの為乗船後すぐにその点を相談したのですが、その場で丁寧に返答してくれた上、念の為と詳細を確認してきてくれました。
締めに登場予定のご飯について、他のおかずと一緒に食べたいなと息子が話していると、すぐに察して先にご飯を用意してくださったり。
他にも色々とサービスしていただいたのですが、常に笑顔で気持ちよく対応してくださり大変ありがたかったです。
・・と色々書きましたが、この日参加して一番良かったのは、息子がカメラを首から下げ箸とジュースを両手に持ち、
「屋形船最高！！」
と満面の笑みで言っていた事でした。
大満足であっという間の2時間半でした。

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan
First time on a Yakayabune
Reviewed by: SSS
Since I had never boarded a yakatabune before, I was so excited about trying it.
It took me about a five-minute walk from the station to the boat boarding area.
On boarding the boat, I was greeted by young high-spirited ladies wearing a towel around their heads. I was impressed by their cheerful greetings both in Japanese and English.
I enjoyed beer and delicious dish right away. They cooked Tempura on the boat. Freshly fried tempura was served.
We were able to stop by tourist spots and enjoy the view from the boat at Odaiba. It was a good us to choose this day ,because the weather was great and we really enjoyed it!
A wide range of people were on board, there were tourists from Tokyo, the locals and travelers from overseas that were all introduced by a friendly young lady which made the vibe very lively on board!
It was nothing like just taking a ordinary boat, instead, it was as if signing up for a Japanese house boat tour with a tour guide on board. I'll definitely use the service again when next time my friend visit Tokyo!

To celebrate a birthday, we joined this cruise with two small kids. We could see the Christmas lights in Odaiba and Tokyo Skytree. Also we enjoyed fireworks in Odaiba. We had freshly cooked Tempura and drinks as much as we wanted. All of us were very satisfied. It was a dream day out!
<Meeting Point>
In the morning, “Harumiya” called me and we could confirm the meeting point and time so we did not have any worry about it. There were staff wearing happi coats in front of the pier.Boarding started about 15 minutes before sailing time.
<Ship>
There were two rows of sunken kotatsu tables. Families, couples, small groups shared the boat. We were close to each other, and immediately got along with the people around, it was a harmonious atmosphere.
<Meals and Drinks>
The starter was a Kaiseki meal, then Japanese Nabe. A variety of Tempuras were served. Everything was delicious. The freshly cooked Tempura was the best since it was very cold mid-winter. For the passenger aged under 5 years old there were no meal served,however, parents could share their meals because of the volume of food. There were a lot of choices in drinks, all included in the ticket price.
<Night Scenery>
The night scenery from Tokyo Bay is really beautiful. When the ship stops, you can climb up to the sky deck, and take in the magnificent view. It was during the Christmas illumination period, so Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Fuji TV main office, and Tokyo Sky Tree all lighted up in Christmas mode. I just happened to see the fireworks of Odaiba which are held on Saturdays!
<Service>
The staff of the houseboat was amiable. Going out with small children is often troublesome. However, this houseboat excursion was very good. Staff was welcoming to small kids and entertained them. Parents could relax and enjoy the event.
Initially I was worried about the houseboat trip in winter. But it was great. I would like to go again in warmer weather.

最初に懐石料理が一通りセッティングされていて、鍋を食べ終わったくらいのタイミングで、揚げたての天麩羅が1種類づつサーブされます。何を食べても美味しいのですが、やはり揚げたてアツアツの天麩羅は格別！真冬の寒空の下、温かい船内で食べるアツアツの料理は特別感があります。0～5歳で申込みをすると食事は付きませんが、親の料理を分けてあげても十分なほどの量があります。飲み放題メニューも豊富で、ワイン片手にお台場の夜景を堪能しました。
＜夜景＞
東京湾から見る東京の夜景は本当にキレイです。停泊中は2階のスカイデッキに上がって、何も遮るものがない絶景を見ることができます。ちょうどクリスマスイルミネーションの最中ということもあり、東京タワーやレインボーブリッジ、フジテレビ本社ビル、東京スカイツリーなどが全てクリスマス仕様のライトアップになっていて、それを屋形船から見る「和風クリスマス」もいいな～と実感しました。たまたま土曜日に行われているというお台場の花火もスカイデッキから見ることができ、本当にラッキーでした。
＜サービス＞
スタッフの方々は、東京の下町のいなせな感じで、ちゃきちゃとして気持ちの良いサービスでした。小さい子供連れだとレストランに行くのも億劫になるのですが、この屋形船は子供もウェルカム＆スタッフ皆さんが子供たちが飽きないように気遣ってくださり、親も安心して楽しむことができました。
冬の屋形船ってどうなんだろう...と思っていましたが、結果大正解でした。次は爽やかな季節にまた参加したいです！

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan
Christmas dinner
Reviewed by: anonymous
It was 2 days before Christmas that me and my husband went for this, it was the first time for both of us.
My image of yakatabune was cold especially in winter, but it wasn't inside. The food was decent and I was amazed at how they cooked and served their Edomae tempra each time they fried it.
The guide kept entertaining the customers with historical tips on the area. We got to go on top of the boat at Odaiba and Tokyo sky tree where we could stay a little while. Everyone seemed to be having a good time with their friends and family.

Dear Ffion, thank you very much for your review, and we are glad that you had fun with us. Yes, we believe that our kimono quality is very good to experience KIMONO in Japan. We want our customers to experience authentic and gorgeous kimono if they wore one. Please come back to Japan again!
