Finally we are back to Tokyo, a city where modernity meets tradition, offers countless experiences that allow visitors to delve into its rich cultural heritage. During our recent trip, we discovered a unique and unforgettable activity – a kimono photo shoot!!! In this blog post, we’ll share our wonderful experience and provide a special promo code for you to enjoy this adventure.
The Experience:
We booked the “Kimono & Photo” experience through Klook. The process was seamless, and we received instant confirmation. On the day of the photo shoot, we arrived at the Kimono studio, conveniently located in Asakusa.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who assisted us in selecting our preferred kimonos from an impressive collection. We chose stunning designs that reflected our personalities, and the staff expertly dressed us in the intricate garments.
The photo shoot was a dream come true! A professional photographer guided us through various poses, capturing the essence of traditional Japan. We felt like royalty, adorned in our magnificent kimonos, surrounded by elegant Asakusa Shrine.
We picked Asakusa Shrine because Asakusa is known for its ancient Buddhist temple, Senso-ji, and its narrow streets lined with traditional shops and street food stalls. The temple street area, also called Nakamise-dori, is lined with bustling street food stalls and shops. Asakusa is perfect for a day of adventuring and trying different Japanese street foods and desserts.
Here are some food stalls to try around Asakusa Shrine:
- Kimura-ya Ningyoyaki: This stall offers fluffy cake filled with sweet red bean paste, made in their artisanal metal casts, in cute shapes like pigeons, 5-Storey Pagodas, Japanese Lanterns, and Raijin, the god of lightning and thunder.
- Kikuya: This traditional dessert shop offers sticky rice dumpling skewers with a slight crunch from the char and mitarashi sauce.
- Kagetsudō: This stall offers a classic Japanese sweet bun filled with ice cream.
- Kaminari Issa: This stall offers a wide array of matcha-infused treats, including matcha beer.
- Kimizuka: This traditional Japanese restaurant offers traditional Japanese dishes, including grilled mackerel, steamed rice, and miso soup.
- Taikayi Guraku: This stall offers fish-shaped cakes, traditionally filled with red bean paste, but also with other flavors like spicy curry, cheese, and seasonal flavors.
What made this experience truly special was the attention to detail and the staff’s dedication to ensuring we felt comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. The photographer’s expertise and patience resulted in breathtaking photos that we will treasure forever.
