Additional Information

Japanese kimonos are primarily available in smaller sizes to accommodate our body shapes. However, we also offer kimonos that can be enjoyed by those who require plus sizes!
If you’re traveling solo and wish to capture memories, you might need to request assistance from a passerby or set up a tripod. But in the bustling streets of Asakusa, setting up a tripod can be challenging. Additionally, couples often desire to have a photograph together.
I am available to snap as many photos as you’d like within the allotted time, and I’ll even share with you the best spots for photography.

Amazing curvy cutie experience - I thoroughly enjoyed the plus size kimono experience with Alisa. She was kind enough to wait for me when I got a little lost on the way to her, and once I arrived, it was magical what unfolded! We went to an intimate kimono shop where I was able to pick every single layer of my kimono as well as an endless amount of accessories, handbags and adornments. She answered all my questions about the culture while we enjoyed a stroll through the Sensō-ji temple area and took loads of pictures and videos. We even stopped for food with the vendors and she ate some delicious takoyaki with me! If you are a plus size curvy cutie, I can’t recommend this experience enough! The options were endless and the expertise was amazing. And more over, Alisa’s kindness and caring nature made the experience all the more better. 10/10 would do again!

Great for solo travelers - I did a solo trip to Japan back in October and renting a kimono was on my list of things to do. Since I’m plus size I was worried about whether or not I would be able to find a place that had kimonos that would fit me. Luckily Alisa (Nico Japan Tour) popped up as a suggestion. Alisa takes you to your kimono rental place and helps translate for you. She also takes you around and helps take pictures for you. She knew where all the cute instagram worthy photo spots were at too. It was nice to have her service has a guide for a few hours while sightseeing, especially since I was traveling alone. Definitely recommend her service. Thanks Alisa!!!

Magical day - I had the best day ever, because I never knew I could wear kimono in my size. Even tho it was unbelievbly hot and humid it was a great experience with Alisa. When I wore the kimono I felt like a princess and after seeing the pictures I felt so beautiful. Thank you Alisa so much!

Kimono love! - This was such a wonderful Japanese culture. Alisa and team were incredible. I learned so much and was never ashamed to ask questions. It only took me 30 minutes to put on a kimono and hair set and she fine-tuned it for my large figure. Above all, I was able to wear a kimono that I had given up on. It remains in my heart with the photo. Arisa, when summer comes, I'll definitely wear a yukata when I go home :⁠ )

Great Kimono Experience - We had such a great time with this tour. There were so many choices of kimono and getting hair done included was wonderful. Your guide will be so knowledgeable and know places that you would never even stumble upon. If you are looking for a great kimono photo experience then this is the one.
