At Kimono Photo Studio Wasabi, you can wear a beautiful, authentic kimono – and enjoy a unique experience, with photos to treasure forever. Our family-run, professional photography studio has vintage kimonos and traditional Japanese costumes for you to admire and try. Match the intricate patterns of your chosen kimono with makeup colours and geisha-style hair accessories. (We can bring in a hair and makeup artist if you’d prefer.) And we’ve got other props, too: parasols, a katana, and more. Your personalised shoot will be led by an experienced fashion photographer. Our team knows Japanese and English, so if there’s anything you need please just ask. Same-day printing means you get your photos straight away, with digital copies to share with friends and family.

My wife and I booked a kimono photshot here and it was a totally great experience culminating in asome beautiful photos of the two of us as a Japan visit keepsake. Our photographer Sayaka was highly professional in positioning us a variety of poses and accessories (katana, fan, umbrella). She is very friendly and made us feel totally comfortable. She gives you the option of group shots as well as individual shots.. There are a variety of package photoshoots available. We chose the one hard copy photo with 5 digital copies sent to your e-mail which I received before I even left Japan aand add-on of having my wife's hair and makeup done. Sayaka uploads all of the photos and we all reviewed the photos to delete photos until we got down to the one we wanted to pint and the ones to be sent digitally. Hard choice as all the photos were great, Beautiful kinonos and poses andeit difficult to choose, If you want a different Japan experience highly recommend this place and Sayaka to do a kimono photoshoot. Very near the Namba train station makes it easy to get to. Highly recommend. for single, couple or family.

This is a very beautiful shop with a lot of kimonos you can choose from,all very pretty and various styles. They have a photographer to take pictures of you in a tatami floor with a very beautiful Japanese traditional background. It was a nice experience and very fun to do. They also make tea ceremony so you can feel the Japanese atmosphere there :) 素敵な着物体験でした! スタッフさんは英語もできるし色々教えてくれて面白かったです! 自分で好きな着物を選べるのは楽しかったです。 写真もいっぱい撮ってくれたので良い思い出になりました！ チャンスがあったらまた行きたいなと思ってます！
