Highlights

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.

About Sapporo

Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, is a grid-planned city of wide parks, an annual snow festival, miso ramen and mountains close behind.

Sapporo was laid out as a grid in the 1870s, when Japan's government developed the northern island, so its streets are wide and straight, split by Odori Park, a long green strip through the middle. The red-brick former Hokkaido government building and the white clock tower, both from the Meiji period, recall that era, and the Hokkaido Shrine lies in a wooded park in the west.

Top-ranked sights in Sapporo: Odori Park (Odori Koen), Susukino, Sapporo TV Tower.
