History
Ginza transformed in the Meiji era into Tokyo's modern retail district; kimono dress and wedding rites reflect textile traditions that predate that modernization by centuries.
Conservation
Using rental kimono reduces one-off garment consumption; treat fabrics gently, follow studio care instructions, and avoid outdoor shoots in muddy or wet conditions to protect delicate embroidery.

Reserve your kimono early
Choose and confirm your kimono at least one week before the appointment so the studio can prepare sizing and accessories.
Bring precise measurements
Provide height, weight, and usual shoe size when booking to ensure the kimono and obi fit correctly.
Wear easy clothing underneath
Choose undergarments and clothing that are simple to remove—kimono dressing involves layers and can take time.
Plan extra time for undressing
Allow 20–30 minutes after the shoot for professional assistance removing the kimono and hairpieces.
Photo ID/Booking Confirmation
Needed for check-in and to match booking details.
Comfortable undergarments
Simple, thin undergarments make kimono dressing easier and more comfortable.
Small emergency kit (bobby pins, clear nail polish)
Useful for last-minute wardrobe fixes during styling.
Cash or card for extras
Some studios offer optional prints, props, or extra shooting time payable on-site.
