Private Kimono Styling with Memory Photos by a Bridal Stylist

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.

Keiko-san was very kind and pleasant to be with during the whole experience. She was very warm and hospitable, and also showed great care & attention to detail during the kimono dressing/styling We had a great time with wonderful photos and memories :D Would highly recommend this experience :D

The two of us were extremely helpful, friendly, made a dress, and started taking photos of our emotions from yogans and matts entering the temple door, handwashing and siamese risks. Every shot was really fun and wonderful for us.

As a foreigner, I've always wanted to wear kimono, but it was really nice to know where to try it in Sapporo. A friendly Suzuki came to pick up delicious bread and tea as well as a kimono. The photo shoot at Hokkaido Shinjuku Palace was really a great memory. I think I could take pictures without any inconvenience while watching. The photos came out so well that I was satisfied! Thank you!

This tour exceeded my hopes, expectations, and dreams! Keiko established contact confirming my reservation promptly, and provided clear and concise directions on where to meet and how I would recognize her. As a 5'9" size 10 American woman, I was concerned that I might have a very limited selection but she provided several beautiful garments and tons of obi and accessories to choose from. She's a very talented and creative stylist and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The Shrine and surrounding grounds provided a beautiful snowy scape for her photography in which she paid close attention to lighting and composition and she coached me on how to pose like a proper Japanese lady. I am ecstatic at how my pictures came out and I strenuously suggest this experience. Keiko and Masayo embody the Japanese spirit of grace, generosity, and hospitality and created many beautiful memories as well as images. Domo arigato gozaimasu!
