Overview

Step into the elegance of Japan with a premium silk kimono, crafted by the skilled artisans of Kouichi Store, established 174 years ago.

Each piece is made from the finest silk, offering a luxurious texture and graceful sheen that no synthetic fabric can match.

The kimono selection, dressing, and simple hairstyling for women take approximately 60-90 minutes. After that, you are free to explore the garden at your own pace.

Please note that the final kimono return time is 4:00 PM.
To enjoy the garden comfortably, we recommend booking an earlier time slot.

Your journey begins in a traditional tea house located within Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most beautiful gardens.
With professional dressing service included, even first-time wearers can feel completely at ease.

Once dressed, stroll through the seasonal landscapes—cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant greenery in summer, fiery leaves in autumn, and a serene winter atmosphere.
