Kimono is the beautiful traditional dress of Japan! On this 6-hour walking tour, you can experience wearing a Kimono. You will be dressed by a professional and have your hair done in a simple hairstyle. It will take about one hour to change for one group (including a simple hair set for women). Afterward, you can walk around Kamakura and take photos. Please bring your own camera! Take a breath of fresh sea air and see Kamakura’s temples and shrines’ beautiful gardens.
