2026-04-10 · 2 phút đọc

Asakusa is Tokyo’s busiest kimono rental district. Sakura Yuki Asakusa has 2 branches, plus 10+ other shops. This guide compares prices and quality, and lists the 10 best photo spots within a 1km radius.

Why Asakusa is #1 for kimono rental

Asakusa is Tokyo’s oldest Edo-era neighborhood, preserving traditional wooden architecture and atmosphere. Sensoji Temple (628 AD) is the oldest temple, and the red lantern at Kaminarimon Gate is an iconic landmark. Nakamise Street stretches 250m and has 89 traditional shops. No other location offers a better kimono backdrop. With 20+ competing kimono rental shops, Asakusa offers the lowest prices and best quality in Tokyo.

Sakura Yuki Asakusa — Main Branch

Address: 浅草 1-41-8. Open 10:00-18:00. A 5-minute walk from Sensoji. The building has 5 floors — floors 2-4 hold 15,000+ kimono designs, while the 5th floor is a hair studio. Prices range from ¥3,300 (Women Standard) to ¥4,400 (Premium/Retro). The ¥6,050 Couple package is the most popular. Book online: https://olachill.com/vi/japan-kimono-rental

Sakura Yuki Ginza — Modern Branch

With fewer tourists than Asakusa, Ginza is ideal for kimono photos against a modern Ginza backdrop. It is near Kabuki-za. Prices are the same as in Asakusa, but the kimono selection leans more modern than retro. When visiting Ginza, you can also add Tokyo Station / Imperial Palace, about 1km away.
