What other travelers are saying about COCOMO Kimono Rental Asakusa
Today’s photographer and stylist were incredibly professional—fast, efficient, and a joy to work with. The atmosphere during the shoot was relaxed and fun, and I’m truly satisfied with the final results.
The outcome really speaks for itself: other visitors even stopped to take photos of me, and some asked to take pictures together.
Thank you for helping me fulfill my dream of becoming an oiran for a day. I’m beyond happy! ❤️

Amazing experience 🫶🫶🫶 I spent a wonderful afternoon with two kind and funny ladies, who took care of my dress up and my make up. I had a studio session with plenty of wonderful pictures. I am so happy about the result. Worth each penny !!!
One of my top experience in Japan! Entering the building feels like a magical experience and that's all because the women who run this shop make it so! So many colors and experiences to be made with COCOMO!
The shop is located in a building; take the elevator to the 2nd floor. There is a wide selection of beautiful outfits for both men and women. The staff provides excellent service and professional advice. Makeup and hairstyling services are also available. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is outstanding.
Cocomo kimono was the highlight of our trip. There's a wide variety of kimono styles to choose from and we went with the princess package and Victorian style. We stood out and had a lot of compliments from strangers which was really nice. The staff was very kind, energetic and made the experience much better. We paid around $500 for the whole thing which included hair, accessories, a professional photographer and both sets. There are more economic options to pick but I highly recommend the photographer, all prices are on their website and I have recommended cocomo to friends and family. This experience was the highlight of the trip and it created amazing photos for our 10 year anniversary. When we come back to Japan, we will definitely come see cocomo again.
Also: there's two change rooms so there's plenty of private space to change.
Also: I recommend bringing your own boots or going with the sandals, there's a lot of boots to pick from but some of them have wear and tear.
The whole experience: you will change and will be given a bag to put your stuff in or you can use their lockers. They give you a purse/satchel so you have a place for your wallet. After choosing a kimono, accessories, shoes, and a hairstyle, they will also do your makeup if you choose. After you're ready to go, you can choose to have the photographer for an hour or 30 minutes, I really recommend the photographer as they will take you around the city and bring you to some beautiful spots for photos. Once you're done they set you loose and you have until late evening to walk around in your kimonos although you can always come early. I recommend making an early appointment so you can take photos in the day time. There are tourists and locals wearing kimonos in the area so you won't feel out of place. 10/10 experience.
