Worth it!
Definitely worth it. The place was a bit hard to find, but shouldn't be too difficult with Google maps. You can't bring your shoes inside the actual store. You pick your kimono, hair accessory, and little bag. They pick your shoes for you. The kimono rental is for the whole day (until 6). There is an English speaker. They have additional accessories and other options for an additional cost. Wouldn't recommend on a hot day, so be mindful in the summer that you will feel super warm in your kimono (I'm not sure how it is in the winter.) Everyone there was very kind and we're doing their best to get me dressed quickly. They will change you extra of you are too tall or overweight, as the kimono standard size is for the average japanese person. It's a bit hard to walk in the kimono and shoes. As for the rickshaw ride, it was amazing. I felt bad about the Kai, (the name of our "driver") pulling us around due to the heat. It was a wonderful experience though. He did his best to convince us to pay for a longer ride, but it's kinda pricey (not in a bad way because he is literally pulling you around in a little cart and it was very hot. There is also no tipping in Japan, so the price makes sense). He took amazing pictures, and was very knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely recommend this experience and would come back for another rental.

Response from the operator: Thank you for using our service. While preserving traditional Japanese style, we will continue to incorporate modern styles and make further efforts to ensure that everyone is pleased.

Great Experience at a Price
The experience itself was fun and exciting. Getting ready was a different story. The dressing process is rushed and the operators don't speak much english. The kimonos are sized small, so most Americans can expect to pay 2,200 yen extra. The plus size selection is very limited, not colorful or as pretty as the other assortment. I am 5 feet and 130 pounds, so I didn't expect to be charged extra. When I asked why I was being charged, it was indicated that I could take the kimono off if I didn't want to pay extra. No mention of a refund had I done that. However, if one is hippy, curvy, busty, plus sized or tall, you will pay extra. This information should be more explicit and transparent in the description along with the ride time. The ride itself is 12 minutes and additional time is extra. The rickshaw drivers were very friendly and pleasant. The rickshaws are narrow if you are hippy or wide. It can be cramped with two people. You don't get brought back to the starting point, but several blocks away, unless you get and pay for extra time. There are two photo ops and you get to rental of the kimono for a period of time is included.
Response from the operator: Thank you for using our service. At our shop, you can experience authentic kimono at a very reasonable price. It's different from wearing clothes. Kimonos are made in standard Japanese sizes, and larger sizes are custom-made. Whether or not you need a larger kimono depends not only on your height and weight, but also on your bust, waist, and hip sizes. There are many stores that do not have large size kimonos in stock. You will be happy to be able to wear a kimono for an additional charge of 2200 yen. We want you to wear your kimono beautifully, so we offer larger sizes. If you don't mind wearing a kimono with an open hem and open chest area, please wear a smaller size kimono. You will feel very embarrassed. Also, please use it if you have a chance. Thank you

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture! cost?
+
Prices start at $8000 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 Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture! take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 14 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 Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture!?
+
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 Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture! suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture!?
+
Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ride a rickshaw wearing a kimono in Asakusa! Enjoy authentic traditional culture! 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.
