What to expect

The yukata is the type of Japanese kimono worn in summer. They are wide-sleeved robes worn by both men and women. Often made of cotton, they are a lot lighter than traditional kimono, though just as historically important. This experience gives you the chance to dress in a stylish Japanese yukata. As part of the program, you will be able to choose from a number of different yukata and obi (yukata belt) styles, colors, and designs. You will be assisted by an expert instructor, who will teach you all the tips and tricks to dressing in the item. Afterward, we will take you on your very own photoshoot! Weather-permitting, you will have professional-level photos taken at Zojoji Temple, outside Tokyo Tower, or by our traditional gold screen.
