About this activity

Prefer another date? Please message us after booking.

Experience Japanese culture through a private kimono experience in Sapporo, Hokkaido.

After meeting at Kita 34 Jo Station, you will enter a Japanese-style room in a local neighborhood. In a calm tatami space, a kimono dresser with over 10 years of bridal hair and kimono experience will help you choose a kimono and style your hair beautifully.

This experience is not only about wearing kimono. You will also learn about kimono styles, formality, seasonal patterns, and the meanings behind traditional Japanese patterns through simple explanations and photos.

"Kimono has a story."

I hope you can enjoy the beauty and depth of Japanese culture.

After dressing, we will visit the Japanese Garden in Nakajima Park for a photo session.

Photo data will be shared later via Google Drive.

Summer Information

In summer breathable summer kimono are provided.

Dressing takes place in an air-conditioned Western-style room instead of a tatami room.
