Explore Asakusa on a group guided tour in kimono, with an English-speaking photographer and at least 20 edited photos delivered within 3 days.

Getting started

Join the group at the designated meeting point in Asakusa to begin your guided walking route. After a brief introduction, your local guide outlines the plan for visiting Sensoji, Nakamise Street, Azuma Bridge, the Sapporo monument, and Tokyo SkyTree. You then proceed together to the kimono rental venue to get dressed before heading out for photos.

What to expect

Kimono rental and styling

Your experience starts with transforming into traditional attire before you step into Asakusa’s streets.

Features

• Kimono rental is included, with a choice of your favorite kimono or a summer yukata, so you can match the season and your personal style.
• Women receive a hair-set service, preparing a neat hairstyle that complements the kimono or yukata for the photography session.
• An English-speaking photographer and local guide accompany the group tour format, adjusting poses and angles to suit your outfit and the surroundings.

Sensoji

Sensoji is Tokyo’s oldest temple and anchors this walk through Asakusa’s historic district.

Features

• Time at Sensoji and its quaint gardens allows your guide to introduce Buddhism and Shintoism in Japan while your photographer captures temple-side portraits.
• The visit to Sensoji is part of the planned route, so the group can move efficiently while still pausing at key viewpoints for photos.

Nakamise Street

Nakamise Street connects the outer gate to Sensoji and is lined with traditional stalls.

Features

• Walking along Nakamise Street, you pose in kimono or yukata against rows of shopfronts that provide a classic Tokyo backdrop.
• Your English-speaking photographer and local guide help select photo spots that avoid congestion where possible and highlight the lanterns, storefronts, and street details.

Azuma Bridge and Sapporo monument

Azuma Bridge crosses the Sumida River and brings you to views of the cityscape and local landmarks, including the Sapporo monument.

Features

• At Azuma Bridge, you stop for group and individual photos that frame the river and urban skyline, including the Sapporo monument in the distance.
• The inclusion of the Azuma Bridge on the itinerary gives you a distinct photo angle that contrasts your traditional clothing with modern structures.

Tokyo SkyTree

Tokyo SkyTree is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks and forms the backdrop for the final part of the shoot.

Features

• From vantage points selected by your local guide, you enjoy views of Tokyo SkyTree while your photographer composes wide shots that feature the tower with you in the foreground.
• At least 20 edited digital photos from the entire route, including Sensoji, Nakamise Street, Azuma Bridge, the Sapporo monument, and Tokyo SkyTree, are sent by email within 3 days, so you can easily download and share them after the tour.
