Great experience - Wonderful. She does it all from her sudio. Fit in traditional kimono, picked a hairstyle and she did a great job with the make up then we walked to nearby neighborhood and took photos. It was raining but the photos were done in 3 days and Im so happy with the results. Definitely reccomend.

Great experience--but long wait for photos - Our experience the day of the photo shoot was amazing! What wasn't amazing was waiting 4 months to receive the photos. After reaching out through email multiple times, finally received the Google drives with all original and touched-up photos today. They do look wonderful though :-)

Awful experience! - Went to meet point 1 hour early as advised. Nobody came to meet us, Nobody called. I tried calling them and sent imessages, whatsapps and everything I could. No one replied. After waiting for 90 minutes someone eventually answered my call after about 50 tries. Not friendly and just didn’t care about us. Was waiting around for another hour or 2 waiting for Kimono’s and then waiting for the photographer. At the end we were then told we would only get the photos in 4 weeks. Well 4 weeks passed and we never had an email with our photos. They do not respond still to any messages or calls. So basically we spent 33,000 YEN for nothing. Wasted a whole day of our trip and walking around uncomfortable for nothing. This experience should not be sold to people.

No show no communication as we stood in the pouring rain for an hour - It was our honeymoon so I thought it’d be romantic to book this, but it was so messed up, we waited in the pouring rain for an hour. No communication, and no one showed up. Wasted our time.
