Sayoko was very sweet, polite and professional in every step. I really enjoyed the whole Japanese culture experience, from dressing room to best pictures spots. She took as many pictures as she could. Thank You so much for giving me that opportunity. Highly recommended for everyone,Renata.

The rain was the only part that was unpleasent in the activity. Everything else was excellent and Sayoko was really the best. Communication was smooth and clear, she provided all the information we needed and even picked us up from the hair salon. She helped us chose the best kimono and then helped us get dressed up in her place. She took us on a lovely walk to a nearby shrine for some awesome pictures (photographer included as part of our package). Sayoko always helped us all the way holding umbrellas and giving suggestions for the photo shoot. My wife got stopped on the street a couple of times as other tourists wanted to take photos with her. That was all credit to Sayoko. Overall we enjoyed this activity very much, thank you Sayoko! Recommended without any hesitation!

Sayoko tended to me with much detail from the time I purchased this experience until even after I have the experience. I’m so grateful for her follow up and detailed directions if you are a solo traveler, I definitely would recommend any experience you can sign up for with Sayoko.

This was a well-organized kimono experience and the tour operator offers the option of getting your hair and makeup done, as well as a photographer to capture memories of your experience. This was the selling point for me as a lot of other places only let you rent a kimono and walk around in it for a day. Unfortunately it rained during my whole tour but it was still enjoyable and I had nice photos anyway. Some things to note are that you will have to choose the kimono online ahead of time, so please be aware of that, but there are many to choose from. A lot of similar tour operators have their locations in Asakusa, so it was nice to do this in a different location.
