EVERY KIMONO OPTION INCLUDES: dressing, basic hair styling (for sufficient hair length) and all accessories for women and men.
YOUR DAY: Your booking time is your studio arrival; please allow about 2 hours for dressing and hair. Then your photographer and English-speaking guide will lead you around Gion and Yasaka Shrine.
GOOD TO KNOW:
- Please choose all add-ons when booking; we're unable to add them on the day.
- Basic hair styling includes 4 simple set styles; for a particular look, we recommend adding a hair upgrade when booking.
- Hair upgrades are for kimono bookings, and extra retouched photos for photoshoot bookings.
- Children are very welcome! Kids' kimono start from 80cm tall; choice per size is a little limited as sizes vary widely. Little ones can also join photos in their own clothes.
- Retouched photos are per booking, not per person; extras can be added via GetYourGuide.
- Popular spots may need a short wait in peak seasons; your photographer will look after you.
We can't wait to welcome you!
