Tell Us Your Favourite Character
Kimono Styled Around Your Favourite Sanrio Friend
Most kimono shops in Asakusa, Tokyo style every guest the same classic way. If you wanted something colourful and cute, you usually end up choosing between a plain obi and a single hair clip.
We built our character styling the other way round. Pastel and colour-blocked obi, ribbon obijime, lace collars and playful hair accessories — and a shelf of Sanrio plush, Hello Kitty, Kuromi and My Melody among them, that you are welcome to carry and photograph throughout your session.
Character styling is +¥2,000 on top of the normal price of the kimono you choose. Tell us which character you have in mind before you arrive and we will set the pieces aside for you.

Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody and Cinnamoroll
Soft pinks and reds, a red ribbon in the hair, and a classic pastel obi. Our most requested look, and the easiest to match with any kimono.
Black, purple and monochrome. A bolder look that pairs well with our darker kimono and lace collars, for guests who want cute with an edge.
Pale pink and white with ribbon details, styled soft and gentle. A favourite for couples and friends booking a matching look together.
Sky blue and white with snowflake lace and soft blue flowers in the hair. A light, dreamy look that suits our white lace kimono, finished with a fluffy Cinnamoroll plush.
Included in Your Kimono Rental
Every rental includes dressing by our staff, hairstyling with accessories, obi, tabi socks, sandals and a matching bag. Dressing takes around 25 to 30 minutes. If you would like makeup as well, allow another 40 to 50 minutes.
Character styling is added on top of any kimono for +¥2,000, which covers the extra styling work, the plush and the themed accessories. Our stylists build the look with you on the day, and you can go as bold or as subtle as you like. The exact kimono, colours and plush depend on what is available on the day, so your look may differ a little from a photo or video you have seen.

Hello Kitty Kimono FAQ
Do you have Hello Kitty, Kuromi and My Melody plush?
Yes — all three, plus a few other Sanrio friends. They are genuine plush that we keep in the shop and lend to guests as photo props for the day. They come back with the kimono at the end of your rental.
Is this an official Sanrio collaboration?
No. We are an independent kimono shop. We simply keep a collection of Sanrio plush and style kimono looks around them, because so many guests ask for it.
Does a character look cost more?
Yes. Character styling is +¥2,000 on top of the normal rental price of the kimono you choose, because it takes extra styling work and includes the plush and themed accessories. For example, a Lace Kimono is ¥7,000 + ¥2,000 = ¥9,000 in cash (¥10,000 by card).
Can I request a specific character?
Yes. Message us before you arrive with the character you want and we will set the plush and matching accessories aside for you.
Can I combine character styling with a furisode?
Yes. Character styling works with any kimono in the shop, including furisode and lace designs. Furisode is priced by its own tier, as it is for every guest, plus the ¥2,000 character styling.
Can I bring my own plush?
Please do. Our stylists are happy to work your own pieces into the look, and many guests bring something of their own for photos.
