What is included in this price ↓

We also offer a “1 Kimono + 1 Dress Plan” and a “1 Kimono + 2 Dresses Plan.” Please contact us for more information.

 

The kimono outfits included in the basic price

Upgraded Outfits Are Also Available for an Additional Fee

⚠️ The additional fees shown apply only to the uchikake (outer bridal kimono). Accessories worn around the chest and other items are separate optional extras, explained later in this article.

 

New outfits may also be available in addition to those shown here.

Our Instagram has the latest information. If you see an outfit you are interested in, please message our staff to ask about it.💌

 

You Can Also Coordinate Colors Around the Neckline for an Affordable Additional Fee

At present, a white kakeshita (the inner kimono worn under the uchikake) and white accessories worn around the chest are included at no additional charge.😊 (See the illustration below.)

You can also change to a colored kakeshita or colored accessories for an additional fee.✨

Combine these items to create your preferred bridal kimono style.

Color Coordination Examples

We also offer many other color combinations.

You can choose the color coordination around your neckline on the day of your fitting.

 

Important Points!

On the day of your fitting, you will choose from the outfits that are available and not already reserved.

However, the outfits shown below are particularly popular and are often already reserved.

So, if you feel,

“I definitely want to wear this outfit!”

you can also reserve that outfit in advance for an additional ¥22,000 👘（This fee is charged separately from any costs for upgrading your costume.）

Please let our staff know which outfit you would like when booking your photo session.

 

 

How the Kimono Is Worn for Photos

Japanese bridal kimono can be photographed with the uchikake trailing on the floor or with its hem lifted and secured.

On the day of your shoot, we will ask whether you would like one of these styles or both.😊

 

For Those Who Would Like Two Kimono Looks

• The bride wears the same kakeshita (inner kimono) for both the first and second looks. However, the decorative accessories can be changed if you wish.

• The groom wears the same hakama for both the first and second looks.

 

For Those Who Would Like Three or More Kimono Looks

• A maximum of two kimono looks can be worn in one day. Wearing more than two would be too physically demanding for the bride, so the shoot will be split over two days.

• The bride can change her kakeshita (inner kimono) between Day 1 and Day 2.

• The groom can change his kimono outfit between Day 1 and Day 2.

That concludes our explanation of the kimono photography plans.
