Why not capture a beautiful family portrait wearing a traditional Japanese kimono as a special keepsake of your journey to Japan? In Japan, there is a beautiful traditional event called “Shichi-Go-San” that celebrates the healthy growth of children. “I want to try on a kimono, but the preparation and procedures seem complicated…” or “I want to make the most of my limited travel time.” For international families visiting Hokkaido, our “Hassle-Free Indoor Studio Photography Plan” located near Asahikawa Station is becoming incredibly popular. Let us introduce the unique charm of this experience, which allows you to immerse yourselves in the authentic world of Japanese tradition in just 90 minutes, completely unaffected by the outdoor weather or temperature!

No Preparation Needed! The All-Inclusive “Come as You Are” Package

Our studio’s plan offers a complete “all-inclusive” experience, which is perfect for travelers. You can fly into Japan with just your suitcases and walk into our studio wearing your everyday clothes—no extra baggage or preparation required!

・Everything is Included: The package covers the child’s kimono rental, professional kimono dressing, hair styling, makeup, photography by a professional photographer, and the digital photo data .

・Zero Advance Prep: You don’t need to spend your precious travel time preparing or arranging traditional outfits yourself .

Zero Worries About Hokkaido’s Weather or Temperature! Comfortable Indoor Studio

While Hokkaido and Asahikawa offer breathtaking scenery across the four seasons, sudden rain or sharp drops in temperature can happen. When traveling with young children, checking the daily weather forecast can be stressful. Since our studio is fully indoors, you do not have to worry about cold weather or unexpected rainfall at all. In our warm and comfortable climate-controlled space, your children can relax and show their best, natural smiles. Your travel itinerary won’t be disrupted by the weather.

This is Truly Japan! Authentic Cultural Experience in a Beautiful “Washitsu” (Japanese-Style Room) Set

Inside our studio, we feature an authentic Japanese-style room booth equipped with real tatami mats, shoji sliding paper screens, and gorgeous traditional decorations. This beautifully recreated traditional Japanese architectural atmosphere is highly praised by our international guests as a highlight of their trip. We also provide cute traditional props, such as Chitose-ame (traditional ceremonial candy sticks), Japanese wagasa umbrellas, and colorful Temari cloth balls. You can capture the ultimate commemorative photo of your Japanese vacation, looking just like a beautiful classic painting.

Every hour of your trip is incredibly valuable. Our Shichi-Go-San and traditional kimono shoot is designed to flow seamlessly, taking just 90 minutes from the initial reception and outfit selection to dressing, the actual shoot, and departure . With no long transit times or extended waiting periods, we can catch your child’s best smile before they get tired or restless.
