Overview

A fun experience where your child can become a little samurai for a day. Unlike a simple costume rental, the dressing is done by experienced kimono dressers who are used to working with children, followed by a studio photo shoot with a professional photographer in a Japanese-style room and in front of a gold folding screen. The data of all pictures taken during the shoot is included, and the studio is located near Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto's Higashiyama district, so you can continue sightseeing right after.

What's included

  • 3 pictures: 1 in a Japanese-style room and 2 with a gold folding screen
  • Child-size samurai kimono dressing (tabi socks included)
  • Folding photo mount with 3 selected pictures (195 mm x 195 mm)
  • 10 minutes of free time to take photos with your own camera
  • Data of all pictures taken during the photo shoot

A samurai transformation experience designed for children aged 5 to 12 (height 110-145 cm) at our photo studio near Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto.

A professional photographer takes 3 pictures: 1 in a Japanese-style room and 2 in front of a gold folding screen.
