Asakusa
Start Tokyo Kimono Photography Tour from Asakusa Once dressed by a professional, you’ll begin your photo adventure at the iconic Kaminarimon Gate of Senso-ji Temple, capturing stunning memories right from the start! Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) was first built in 942 by Taira no Kimimasa, and was later rebuilt at its current location. It has been repeatedly destroyed by fire and rebuilt, and the current Kaminarimon was rebuilt in 1960 with a donation from Konosuke Matsushita. Its official name is “Fūraijinmon”. This name comes from the two statues that stand on either side of the gate, the thunder god and the wind god, and they protect Sensoji Temple from floods and fires.

5.00My daughter and I had a great experience with Gota. He took us to many places to take pictures. He was really good about showing us where to stand and how to pose which we really appreciated. And the kimono rental process was really smooth too.
Great experience!

5.00Gota was really professional and I had a great photography tour with him! Highly recommend! Gota and I had to wait for each other 30 minutes past tour start time since the company told us different meet up locations and wouldn’t let us communicate with each other directly, and the crowd started to become difficult to take photos. It was affecting both myself and the photographer so it was a shame.
