Private Kimono & Photo Experience with a Tokyo-Trained Stylist

Working with Keiko was such a wonderful experience. She was warm, attentive, and communicated clearly from the moment we connected through the end of the session. She did a beautiful job with my hair, and the photos came out even better than I expected. The setting had a cozy, personal charm that made everything feel intimate and authentic. What made it extra special was how much she genuinely enjoyed sharing her culture. I felt comfortable, cared for, and had so much fun. Oh… the matcha tea (especially prepared by her father in law) and the little matcha yōkan snack were delightful and delicious. I highly recommend Keiko and definitely will come back for another session. Thank you, Keiko, your husband and your father in law for an amazing experience.

Pick-up from hotel on time via private car (arranged in advance) to kimono styling room. Choice of kimono and venue (we were lucky to get a break in the weather). Green tea served (a surprise). Photos taken professionally and sent the same day (can also take your own photos. Highly recommended.

Keiko-san and Masaya-san were incredibly kind and attentive to both me and my mother — truly, the entire family is so lovely. (We brought home the dice!) Although it was our first time wearing kimono, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. We were able to immerse ourselves in Japan’s rich culture through the kimono fitting, hair styling, and zori; the matcha and yokan tasting; and even learning how to properly pray at the temple. Keiko-san is practically a superwoman with her many talents (I’m in awe of her incredible range of skills — she's such an inspiration to learn from), and we’re so grateful for the beautiful memories she captured for us. Already missing the warmth of the family as I write this. Their heartfelt sincerity and incredible hospitality left a lasting impression on me, filling me with gratitude for having experienced it all alongside my mother. Thank you!

My boyfriend and I had so much fun wearing the kimono and partaking in Japanese tea and sweets. We also learned about shrine etiquette and prayed at the shrine! Thanks to Keiko-San we will have these beautiful pictures to look at and remember our first time in Sapporo. I strongly recommend this kimono experience. ありがとうございます!

This is more than just kimono wearing. It's a personal and local experience tailored to your tastes. Keiko and her family were mindful in every aspect off this tour. Not only did I have over a hundred professional photos within hours but her father served us green tea with a local sweet. Keiko made sure I was comfortable and went out of her way to specialize my look. Her husband was our driver and holder of all things. It's truly a family affair and you can sense the love within. That made this tour stand out from all the rest.
