Activity

The experience takes place in Dogo Onsen—one of Japan's oldest hot springs

This hot spring town, with a history spanning roughly 3,000 years, offers a mesmerizing, otherworldly Japanese atmosphere—so much so that it has even inspired anime settings. Within a compact 500m² area, you'll find magnificent Japanese architecture, narrow alleys perfect for hidden explorations, and a lively arcade lined with souvenir shops, ideal for a food stroll. The entire town exudes a timeless ambiance, making it the perfect place to wander in a kimono while discovering countless picturesque scenes.

Get dressed in a kimono and have your photos taken in a traditional ozashiki (tatami room)

You'll be dressed in a traditional kimono and have your hair styled by a professional kimono dresser. Afterward, enjoy a photo session set against an authentic Japanese backdrop. Plus, you can leave your belongings at the store and explore the city hands-free.

The kimono dresser will accompany you to take photos

A professional kimono dresser will accompany you on your city walk, capturing photos along the way. No need to worry about getting lost—they'll guide you to the best photo spots. Plus, with a special food coupon included, you can enjoy delicious local treats as you explore!

Experience authentic Japanese traditions with a geisha as your guide at an okiya (geisha lodging house)

After making and enjoying your own tea, head to the ozashiki, where you can freely handle authentic tools used by geisha. Learn to play traditional instruments like the shamisen (three-stringed Japanese lute) and taiko drum, practice elegant dance poses with a fan, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the setting—all while dressed in a kimono. You'll also have 30 minutes of free time to enjoy a private photoshoot in the ozashiki.

Includes Bathing Ticket for Dogo Onsen Honkan or Dogo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu & Dogo Food Coupon
