One of the most classic place to visit when wearing a kimono is definitely Asakusa! Nakamise street filled with shops leading up to the famous Kaminari-mon gate makes you feel that you are actually in Japan!

Turn into one of the allies at Kagurazaka and you will feel like you walked into an old part of Tokyo. Its attraction is the stone pavement that creates the retro atmosphere in the area.

Yanesen is a combination of 2 location, Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagaya. It is surrounded by many slopes and there are over 70 shrines and temples in Yanesen. There is something retro about Yanaka which makes it a great combination with kimono!

Nezu shrine (根津神社) is one of the many shrines located in Yanaka. It is famous for its thousand red torii. What a great way to capture yourself in kimono peaking through one of those torii?
