Fun and amazing evening in cosplay!

I truly enjoyed every moment of it. The photoshoot went by so fast! It was extremely fun. Mune, Ann and Chi-chang took really good care of me every step of the way. It was easy to communicate in English. They gave me plenty of great pieces of advice (hairstyle, accessories, poses…). It was my first time doing cosplay on a professional level and it didn’t disappoint! It felt like being in a sci-fi movie. We did not get bothered during the photoshoot, it was not too crowded even for a Saturday. I even got pictures and videos on the day of but I am really looking forward to the finished results. All the needed information was clear and easy to find (meet-up spot, website, prices…). I recommend this experience for anyone curious about cosplay.

Response from the operator: Hi Chloe! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We had such a great time with you as well—it honestly felt like the time flew by 😂✨ While we were cleaning up afterward, our team was even saying, “Wow, the photoshoot went by so much faster than we expected!” We’re truly happy that you enjoyed even the small details of our service. If you ever feel like doing cosplay again, please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime ☺️ And if the timing works out, it’s also a lot of fun to come back and cosplay with friends 🌟 Also, whenever you visit Japan again, feel free to contact us anytime—even if it’s not related to our service. We’d be more than happy to help if you have any questions about your trip ✨ We hope you’re excited for the photos—we can’t wait to share them with you!

Amazing experience

It was the first time I tried a cosplay experience and it was amazing! Mune and Ann were very friendly and caring for me all along. I had no specific character in mind so I was happy to see that it was only original characters, I was able to choose the one that suited me best! The makeup was incredible and I was able to have as many photos as I wish, and walking in the streets of Akihabara in cosplay was a very special experience! I highly recommend this activity if you are around there!

Response from the operator: Hi, Floriane! Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re truly happy that you chose us for your very first cosplay experience and that you found it “amazing” ☺️✨ We’re also so glad you enjoyed our experience system! The wig and costume you chose suited you perfectly — our staff were honestly so excited to see how amazing you looked ✨ Even if it’s not for our tour, please feel free to reach out anytime you come back to Japan 🥰 And please also extend our thanks to your friend who helped you discover our service!

Cosplay in Akihabara - Amazing Memories!

Mune and his crew at Cosplay 9 were an absolute joy to work with. From the moment he met us to the end of the night when he personally walked us to the metro station, everyone made us feel welcome and special. I booked this experience as a way for my son to experience Tokyo beyond the usual tourist-y things. He can be a bit shy, but the team (from costumes to hair/makeup and photographer) went out of their way to help draw him out of his shell - asking him about his favorite anime series and video games, and tailoring our experience accordingly. The costumes were amazing, we felt and looked cool (even drawing attention from total strangers during the photo shoot) and the pictures turned out even better than I hoped. Thank you so much to everyone at Cosplay9 - I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to make some fun and unique memories while in the city!

Response from the operator: Hi Vanessa! Thank you so much for your wonderful review 🥹✨ Among the many activities available in Tokyo, we’re truly grateful that you chose us! It’s also an honor to receive your kind words about the professionalism we deeply value. Seeing the two of you enjoying the experience together as parent and child was truly heartwarming for our team, and it reminded us why we love doing this work 🥰 (You both looked incredibly cool during the shoot — no wonder you were getting so much attention!) If you ever come back to Japan, please feel free to reach out anytime — even if it’s not for our tour 🌟

The best cosplay experience!

The best cosplay experience and one of our favourite memories of our time in Japan. We chose to give our two daughters who are huge Anime and Cosplay fans this experience on our recent trip to Japan. Wow, we were blown away. Mune and his team transformed our daughters and they looked amazing. The team were kind, professional and engaging. They went above and beyond to give my girls the best experience. Having a professional photographer was truly the highlight as now we have those memories and we will use these photos to update our family photos and forever have a memory on our wall of the best family holiday! Thank you to Mune and the team at Cosplay 9 - you made this an experience to remember and your attitude and professionalism made the whole process so much fun and so easy - THANK YOU. Highly recommend, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Response from the operator: Katy, thank you so much for your heartfelt review! It was truly an honor for us to take care of your two beautiful daughters, and it became a precious memory for our team as well ✨️ Having your whole family join our tour made the photo session lively, warm, and incredibly fun. We shared all of your wonderful comments with our entire team—everyone was overjoyed! We’ll continue doing our very best to bring joy to many more guests. And whenever you visit Japan again, please feel free to reach out—even if it’s not for a tour ✈️✨️

Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot!: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

How much does Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot! cost?

+

Prices start at $43000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot! take?

+

Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

Is Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot! worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot!?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot! suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot!?

+

Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Cosplay Experience with Professional Makeup and Photo Shoot! start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

+

Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

+

Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Tokyo?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
