A Great Offer From Mine Kimono Store
Author: Daniella Schmidt, Issue: December 2006, Topic: Japanese Culture, Tourism, Location: Tsukuba City
The author and her husband
At Mine Kimono Store, a local business located adjacent to Doho Park, the skilled staff dresses you in beautiful kimono or yukata and take professional photos of you in a variety of poses in a well equipped studio area. To women, they offer a fan or umbrella, geta sandals, and a hair ornament as accessories before snapping the photos. The men can wield a katana sword! I went with friends and took individual photos, as well as shots of us together. I enjoyed the experience so much, I returned with my husband! I always leave with a beautiful souvenir of the experience in customary Japanese dress.
If you have never had the opportunity to dress in kimono/yukata, I highly recommend it! Mine Kimono Shop displays all its beautiful merchandise artfully. The customer service is top notch and they offer a variety of exquisite new kimono and obi.
Here are the details:
