Kimono-Capture/Japan experience
【 Have a special experience in Japan 】
The charm of Tokyo is not just the places listed in guidebooks. We are planning this event because we want as many people as possible to know about this and to leave memories with them.
In this experience, you’ll have the chance to wear a kimono and capture beautiful memories with a professional photographer. Feel like a samurai as you hold a katana, and enjoy a live performance of Gagaku—one of Japan’s oldest musical traditions featuring the sho instrument. You’ll also have time to relax with traditional tea and sweets.
Normally, entering certain areas of the shrine requires a special blessing or ritual, but this experience includes access, allowing you to visit spaces that are usually reserved for those ceremonies. Don’t miss out on this unique and special opportunity!
What is the value of these experiences?
There are so many things I’d like to experience in Japan,
but some say it’s a hassle
to book each activity separately. With our Experience Plan,
you can try everything in one convenient location,
making your visit easier
and more enjoyable.
At the shrine,
we provide a space exclusively for participants,
offering a premium experience
of Japanese culture. We want you to enjoy a peaceful, memorable moment at the shrine in Tokyo, and believe our limited group size ensures a fulfilling experience.
The sho is one of Japan’s
oldest musical instruments,
often played at weddings and shrine festivals,
and the shrine has kindly cooperated with us for this event. Its sound is unique,
and even the preparation before the performance is a rare and special sight to behold.
With the shrine’s cooperation, visitors can enter the main hall during this experience.
Only those who complete the required procedures are
allowed inside.
These arrangements are
included in our plan,
so there’s no hassle
for you.
Where can we have the experience?
You’ll have your Japanese cultural experience at a shrine located in the northern part of Tokyo, inKita Ward. For example, you can reach the nearest station in about 30 minutes by train, even fromShinjuku. Alternatively, depending on traffic, you can get to the shrine in about 30 minutes by taxi.
※ Attention! Advance reservation is required for this experience.
Please be aware that it cannot be booked directly through the shrine and is only available by booking with us.
