Asakusa geisha dress-up
Take it from us: dressing up can be just as amusing as a grown-up as it was when you were a child! Thanks to this experience, adults and children alike can see themselves completely transformed into an elegant geisha or battle-hardened samurai. You’ll hardly recognise yourself as you disappear beneath layers of white make-up (or layers of armour!) – and the photos make fantastic souvenirs.
To really get under the skin of Asakusa, Tokyo's remaining geisha district, you need to dress-up as a geisha! InsideJapan can arrange for you to get a full geisha makeover including the iconic white make-up, black wig and an elaborate kimono. Professional portrait photos are included; a great souvenir.
But for the full service, ask for the rickshaw option which means you'll get a tour of the old streets around Senso-ji Temple dressed as a geisha. Men don't have to miss out either! The Asakusa studio also offers the full samurai look complete with a male kimono.
