Fun photo experience
Wonderful experience! For our anniversary, I wanted portraits of my family in a professional photo studio. You can pick your kimono and hair pieces, plus they style your hair and have lipstick and blush available if needed. You can pay extra to have all the copies on a USB too. Would definitely recommend!

Best photo session ever.
The staff couldn't have been more friendly. We enjoyed the photo session. I would recommend anyone taking a trip to Tokyo to sign up for this package and experience Japanese culture first hand. The pictures turned out fantastic.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! We are so happy that you enjoyed the photo session♥

Amazing Kimono Shoot Experience!
We absolutely loved our experience with Kimono Photo Studio WA! Our family of 3 booked a kimono experience, and we were helped by the most incredible ladies -- Maho, Hisami, and Chihiro. We were looking for a spot in Tokyo that would take amazing quality kimono photos, while still being affordable, and we are so happy that we found this studio as it was perfect for us. Once we submitted a inquiry form through their website, we received outreach confirming what we wanted and the team was really communicative -- which we appreciate as we had a couple of questions about logistics. The ladies were incredibly patient and helpful during our session, and helped us do everything from picking out the perfect kimono to helping direct us with our poses (even with fun props). Throughout it all, they were so friendly and made our experience such a highlight. Not only were they very kind, but they were also funny and inviting, which made the typically awkward experience of a photo shoot one that was so much fun! We recommend this place to anyone looking for kimono photos, and will be recommending this to our own family and friends as well. Thank you so much to Maho, Hisami, and Chihiro for the beautiful pictures and the lovely company!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! Your review has so many details and we can see you had fun in our photo session, which really made us happy! Thank for choosing our studio♥

Family Photo Shoot
My family and I had a wonderful time. It was so much fun and we laughed so much. I have to say it was a once in a lifetime experience! And the three beautiful ladies who ran the photo shoot were so kind, welcoming, and professional. We learned a lot about the history behind the kimono, and the ladies even took the time to speak to my son in Japanese, as he is learning the language. We had a blast and a really good time. I would definitely recommend this activity.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review, and sorry our response was very late. We are so glad to see that you had a lifetime experience here! We love to laugh with our customers♥ Thank you for coming.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo cost?
+
Prices start at $199 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 Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo?
+
Around 4 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kimono Photo Shooting Family and Group Plan in Tokyo 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 Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour. 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.
