Highlight of our trip!

The selection of kimonos was incredible! The ladies who dressed us were so fast and professional. Walking around the lake with Mt Fuji in the background while wearing a kimono was a dream come true.

Beautiful cherry blossom photos

We booked this for the sakura season. The location is super convenient right next to Kawaguchiko station. The hair styling add-on was worth it!

Great experience, bit cold

The kimono looked amazing. Since it was January, they let me wear my heattech shirt underneath which saved me. Highly recommend for the photos.

Authentic and fun

I was worried about the fit as I am tall, but they had sizes that worked perfectly. The obi belt is tight but you get used to it. Wonderful memories.

People stopped to take photos with us! The staff helped us choose matching colors for me and my husband. A must-do in Kawaguchiko.

Professional service

Very organized shop. We dropped our bags, got dressed, and had 3 hours to explore. The shoes take some getting used to.

Magical day

My daughter and I did this together. The children's kimonos are adorable. We took a taxi to the lake for photos and it was easy.

Excellent value

For the price, this is a steal. You get a full set including the bag and sandals. The photos look like they cost a fortune to produce.
