This is an experience where you can actually wear a kimono, not just see it, but wear it, such as Honshiozawa, a traditional Japanese craft with a delicate texture and a crisp feel, and Shiozawa Tsumugi, which was created by applying the techniques of Echigo Jofu, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. In a kimono, you can stroll around Bokushi Street, where the streetscape of Shiozawa-juku on the Mikuni Kaido remains. *Staff can speak simple English and use a translator. <Please inquire> We can also accommodate original plans, such as lunch included.

[Plan for groups of 20 or more] This plan is suitable for group tours, as it is a simple dressing session, and the entire process from meeting to returning takes 3 hours. Kimono is popular among foreigners, but in reality, most people don't want to wear it for that long, and the majority of people are satisfied with just taking a quick photo in a kimono at a photo spot in Asakusa. This plan is recommended for busy guides who take photos in kimono at tourist spots in Asakusa in the morning, eat lunch, and then move on to the next step. (Example) Group of 30 people 10:00-10:40 Kimono selection and dressing 10:40-12:40 Stroll around Asakusa 12:40 Return Up to 60 people can be accommodated. We will split into two groups or make suggestions according to your wishes.
