Tokyo Asaka Kimono Photography Service First Experience
It turns out that the kimono inquiry level is quite high woo 🤣
To be honest, 3 years ago, I went to Japan to take pictures of kimono on social platforms.
This time is of course different!
Renting a kimono 👘 to take photos actually stems from Lei Xiaonan's obsession!
Because last time the family went to Japan together, we ordered all the kimonos👘 before departure
He was still young at the time, and when he arrived at the kimono shop, he suddenly became emotional and refused to wear it no matter how much he tried to persuade him. So in the end, the whole family wore a kimono and took the photo, but he was the only one wearing casual clothes.
Now that I'm older, I'm more and more regretful, so she's obsessed with going to Japan to take a kimono photo and stick it back on the wall 🤣🤣
Originally I wanted to take pictures of kimono in Lake Kawaguchi, because many of the scenery in Lake Kawaguchi are unique to Japan, and different temples and temples are almost the same anywhere in Japan.
Look look, found a place some photos I really like, look closely,
It turns out that there is also a photographer service, and it turns out that I have never thought about traveling to find a photographer 😍😍😍 Think about it, it's really attractive, I found many comparisons, looked at many photographers.
Finally chose a #HongKongPhotographer in Japan, his photos are really super beautiful!
Unfortunately though…. I haven't been able to travel for three years, and relative to him, I haven't been back to Hong Kong for three years to see my family.
Eventually the period hit a ticking sound... I couldn't change the itinerary after thinking about it 🥲 In the end I had to give up!
As a regret, I must find him to take pictures next time I go to Tokyo📸️
(If you want to see it, let me know in the comments, pm you)
Without that photographer, I don't think there's any need to rush around.
Eventually it was changed to finally go back to Tokyo to shoot.
Of course, the most convenient and biggest way for Tokyo kimono photography is Asakusa Remon .
With no choice of time, only that!
And the Asakusa kimono with photographer services, there are not many options.
Originally wanted to book a family of kimono + photographer who was more friendly during the chat.
(Traditional Chinese characters for chat)
But the time couldn’t match, because that day we were in Hakone to Tokyo.
The time is harder to predict, they only have the 11:00 time slot.
My location can't be counted early, so I'll have to do it next time!
(The photos are more warm and natural style, which I like)
Finally found this one, kimono + photographer,
The prices in other places are more convenient, because at the same price,
The other one has 45 minutes of photography, this one has an hour.
For 15 minutes, it seems like a big difference, because it takes time to walk there.
In the end, we chose their slightly more expensive package, plus enough 1.5 hours of photography.
And because I drive, are worried about the time I have some difficult to predict.
He replied no question, which is the biggest reason I chose him.
So… however, there are pros and cons to this!
(Details more below)
The day I left for Tokyo, I kept PMing them.
Because the phone number of his local store can't be found on the car's GPS at all.
And downtown also have to find your own parking space.
I kept asking him where to park near and have a seat, customer service only replied much near the company.
But I went on Google to see, yes, a lot, all have 2 parking spaces 😅😅
In the end, I had to go around for a long time to find a parking space and walk there.
The shop is indeed not bad, the package includes quite a lot of kimonos.
Maybe business is too good though, and really the downtown tourist area.
Compared to my previous experience of renting kimono...
The ones I used to go to were really orthodox kimono rentals. I couldn't count so many layers when I was changing clothes. I just folded my towel from left to right, wrapping it up like a rice dumpling.
Usually the shopkeeper will ask you very gently what accessories you want.
And this one is relatively hea... (a penny for a penny)
My aunt was quite in a hurry to change clothes that day. She didn't ask but she got a belt for me.
The belt is worn out, the rope is rocked, he said he can't take any pictures, ok...
And the inner lining is only one piece, in the end even the shirt is wrapped with rubber bands not removed 🤣🤣🤣 (rubber bands, yellow ones)
The day of the photography was super cold, we left warm clothes... because the impression of the kimono from dozens of layers became only one layer...
I saw that she was done with a layer of inner lining...I immediately wanted to help my daughter add an undershirt, (I wasn't wearing it yet!)
My aunt said it was on, I couldn't add it anymore... (I'm really a bit unhappy now) I had to add the heat pack myself again...
The advantage of this is that photographers are always available.
I guess there are many photographers there, but the downside is that the crowd may not have quality assurance.
Because whoever has time to follow, fortunately, one photo shoot, met another photographer (more senior) said he had time to shoot, see our place more people come to help shoot.
That's called some photos are normal.
The photographer had a good attitude and was very nice.
Originally still very moved, suddenly more than a photographer to follow, very happy, but at the moment of receiving the photo, a bit O mouth.
I received the photos and finally understand why one more photographer to follow 🤣🤣
I guess the senior photographer was helping others take pictures, found a novice photographer to follow me, he immediately came to help after taking pictures.
Of course, my land is not right, because I could not find his shop that day, and then find parking wasted super much time, is late, so this is no wonder people.
My husband and I took a few double photos and were looking forward to them before receiving them.
I was disappointed when I received the photo.
And the 2 daughters had a lot of fun with a view, and were looking forward to it themselves.
However it ultimately didn’t show up (I guess fired up).
Luckily I took a few pictures myself, so a photographer had to take some himself, to rest assured.
Overall, it’s called a family of four taking a family photo.
I'm happy too, don't be so demanding 😂😂
The style of some photos in this place is steadily so, it is definitely photogenic enough.
But let's not talk about what feels or not 🤣🤣
(That is very empty, similar to eating in a restaurant but do not want the atmosphere)
If the requirements are not high, actually cheap, is ok
However, my husband told me to either not take pictures next time or find something better.
Because airfare and hotel time are so expensive.
Even the air ticket money is wasted 🤣🤣🤣
