Nice Experience
This was a great experience in the Asakusa area. While there were several kimono rental places in the area (I purchased before going), I believe this experience was a memorable one as well. I traveled with my daughter and she loved it. The photographer was professional and the ladies at the kimono rental place were great. They helped us match kimonos with the various pieces of the attire to create a nice look! I’m def glad I had this one in the books! Nearby tourist temple was a plaid as well. It was a short walk from the rental place.

We had such a wonderful...
We had such a wonderful experience with the kimono rental and photoshoot team! From helping us get dressed and settled into our kimonos to coordinating photos for me, my fiancé, and our friends, everyone was incredibly efficient, organized, and helpful throughout the entire experience. What made this experience even more special was that I got proposed to during the photoshoot! 💍❤️ The team was in on the surprise and helped make such a special moment even more magical and memorable. I’m so grateful everyone played a part in making it happen! The photos turned out absolutely lovely, and we received them within a very reasonable timeframe. I truly appreciate the entire team’s kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail in capturing these memories for us. Thank you all for helping us create such beautiful memories in Japan! This experience will always hold a special place in our hearts, and I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting. 🇯🇵💕
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! It was truly special for our team to be part of such an important moment, and we are so happy that we could help make the surprise proposal a beautiful memory for you both. Congratulations again on your engagement! We’re also delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the kimono experience and photoshoot, and that you loved the photos. Thank you for choosing Yae to be part of such a memorable day in Japan. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together, and we hope to welcome you again someday!

Highly recommend
This was the highlight of our time in Tokyo. The experience says 2.5h, but it took less than 1h to get my mom and me dressed and hair styled, then we were off to a 30 minute photo shoot by the temple. We saw lots of other places in the area that provided similar services, maybe some of them were priced more competitively, but our kimono and hair looked fantastic, especially in comparison to other tourists we saw. They also had a variety of sizes to accommodate any body. Our Photographer communicated well in English, asked us about the style of poses we wanted, and showed us our shots before moving on to the next set. In about a week we will get 50 photos that he took, and then we'll be able to mark 9 we want retouched, and they will be returned in another couple weeks. We are hoping the turn around is fast enough we can get some printed on postcards at 7-11 to send home.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad to hear that you and your mom enjoyed the experience and loved your kimonos and hair styling. We will do our best to process your photos promptly so you can print those lovely postcards at 7-Eleven! We hope to welcome you both back again in the future! 💕

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option cost?
+
Prices start at ¥7,900 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 Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 85 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 Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option?
+
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 Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option?
+
Around 30 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option 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.
What is included in Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option?
+
Included: Hair styling; Kimono rental; and Photography (if selected). Not included: Makeup. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tokyo Authentic Kimono Rental in Asakusa with Photography Option?
+
1 minute walk from Asakusa Ginza line subway station/3 minutes walk from Asakusa Asakusa line subway station. 2 minites walk from Sensoji Temple, Kaminarimon Gate. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
