★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 252 reviews · from $43Our pick

Small-group Tokyo kimono workshop with free obi rental. Pick vintage prints, customize the fit, learn how to wear it, and get photos.

“In the workshop you are given an opportunity to choose and fit a vintage kimono and all the accessories necessary to wear it properly as well as friendly guidance through the fitting and dressing process. The kimonos vary a lot, so you will be able to find a suitable one. There are some basic ones, they are included in the price — but if you want something more sophisticated there is an extra charge. I paid 11k ¥ for the full set of kimono, collar, obi and so on — and I assume the experience s totally worth trying.”
