At Maiko Transformation Studio Shiki in Kyoto, two people dress as a maiko and samurai for a three-hour studio shoot. Choose from 100 kimonos, receive professional hair and makeup, pose in a Japanese room, tea room, garden, or before a gold folding screen, then take home three prints and all digital images. Optional strolling costs extra.

“This photo shoot couldn’t have been better. We chose the couples package and it was awesome. The staff was kind, professional, and timely. The costumes were absolutely top notch. The makeup artist was very good. Best of all we only waited 20 minutes after our shoot & our phots were processed, printed, and emailed. I highly recommend this activity, book it.”
