What to Look for in a Kimono Photography Studio
Not all kimono studios are the same. When choosing a studio for a wedding or formal kimono photoshoot, these are the factors that matter most:
- Formal bridal kimono, not tourist rentals — There is a significant difference between casual tourist kimono and formal wedding kimono (shiromuku, iro-uchikake). Make sure the studio specialises in the latter.
- Certified kimono dressers — Dressing in formal kimono correctly requires professional training. Check that the studio uses certified dressers, not untrained staff.
- English-speaking photographer — Communication matters during a photoshoot. A photographer who cannot explain poses or read your comfort level will produce worse results.
- Transparent pricing — Many studios advertise low base prices and then add charges for hair, editing, and “standard” inclusions. Look for all-inclusive pricing with no surprises.
- Verified reviews — Check Google Maps and Photorait (Japan’s specialist wedding review platform) for genuine customer feedback.
Why INAI WEDDING WASOU Stands Out
Specialist in formal bridal kimono
Unlike general kimono rental shops, INAI WEDDING WASOU focuses exclusively on formal wedding attire — shiromuku (white kimono), iro-uchikake (colour kimono), and montsuki hakama for grooms. Every garment in our collection is a genuine bridal piece, not a casual rental repurposed for photos.
500+ five-star reviews
We have accumulated over 500 five-star reviews across Google and Photorait — making us one of the most reviewed specialist kimono photography studios in Tokyo. These reviews come from Japanese and international guests alike.
English-speaking photographer on every plan
Every plan at INAI WEDDING WASOU includes a dedicated English-speaking photographer. You will not be handed off to a non-English speaker — communication is part of what we provide.
Asakusa’s best locations, walked daily
Our photographers shoot at Asakusa’s iconic spots every day. They know exactly when and where to position you for the best shots — avoiding tourist crowds, finding the best light, and capturing Asakusa at its most beautiful.
All-inclusive, transparent pricing
From ¥88,000, every plan includes kimono rental, professional dressing, hair styling, photographer, and all edited photos. The only optional extras are makeup, additional kimono changes, and weekend surcharges — all clearly listed upfront.
Plans and Pricing
| Plan | Price | Shoot |
| Simple Studio Photo | ¥88,000 | 30-min studio |
| Bridal Photography | ¥99,800 | 60-min Asakusa locations |
| Asakusa Bridal & Rickshaw Tour | ¥126,600 | 60-min + rickshaw |
What Our Guests Say
“The price was reasonable, the costumes were great, and there were plenty of accessories. I was able to take as many photos as I wanted and the staff was very kind.” — Keigo S. ★★★★★
“I don’t think there is any other place at this price where you can wear beautiful Japanese clothing and have so many photos taken and processed.” — Matsuoka R. ★★★★★
“It was the lowest price in Tokyo according to my personal research. Staff were very efficient and kind — the perfect pre-shoot.” — HNK ★★★★★
Frequently Asked Questions
Is INAI WEDDING WASOU only for weddings?
No. While we specialise in formal bridal kimono, our studio welcomes couples celebrating anniversaries, honeymoons, engagements, or simply wanting a memorable cultural experience in Japan. The kimono and the experience are the same regardless of occasion.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend at least 2–4 weeks in advance. Weekends and public holidays book up quickly, especially during cherry blossom season (late March–April) and autumn (November).
Do you have a physical studio I can visit first?
Yes. Fitting appointments are available by reservation (¥5,000). Contact us via WhatsApp or email to arrange a visit. Many guests prefer to browse our kimono lineup online first and then confirm on the day.
Is parking available nearby?
There is no dedicated parking at the studio. Asakusa is easily reached by train — Asakusa Station is served by the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Toei Asakusa Line, Tobu Line, and Tsukuba Express.
