Highlight of our trip!

The staff at Fujisan Culture Gallery were incredible. They helped me choose a beautiful blue kimono that matched the season. The dressing process was fascinating and professional. Walking around the lake in traditional dress with Fuji in the background was magical. Highly recommend the 5-hour plan!

Authentic and convenient

Located right next to the station, which was perfect. The selection of kimonos is high quality. I took the tea lesson plan, and it was a wonderful cultural experience. The teacher was patient and explained everything in English for my foreign friends.

Beautiful but cold

We went in late November. The kimonos are stunning, but it gets cold! Make sure to wear the recommended thermal underwear. The photos we got with the autumn leaves and Mt Fuji were worth every shivering moment.

Great value

We did the 'Osampo' 2-hour plan. It was just enough time to walk to the lake shore, take amazing photos, and get back. The priority service meant we didn't wait at all. Very efficient and friendly team.

Unforgettable experience

I was worried about the fit as I am tall, but they had sizes that worked perfectly. The staff made me feel like a princess. The 15-minute indoor plan is great if you are short on time, but I wish we had booked longer to go outside.
