Description

Japanese kimonos are mainly small sizes to fit our physiques. But we have plus-size Kimonos you can enjoy! If you are traveling alone and want to take pictures, you have to ask someone or use a tripod. However, Asakusa town is very crowded and it is difficult to use a tripod. There are also cases where you want to take photos with two people as a couple. We will take as many pictures as you like within the time limit. The guide knows lots of secret photo spots. ★Notes★ Please read carefully the notes in What To Expect. More than that size, may be canceled. Please measure the size of the participants before booking. We will send messages after you booking, please check the message and answer the questions about your body size. If we do not receive your reply by 5pm the day before, we will not be able to prepare your kimono and will cancel your reservation, no refunds in that case. 15% discount for 2 people or more!

Unnecessary Booking

Do not waste your money booking a rental through them. There are multiple shops that offer plus size kimonos - just a google away. What a waste of time and money. Very dishonest about what’s included and offered as a part of the package.

This is definitely a great way to rent a kimono as a plus size woman. Alisa was great and taking my photos. She was very sweet and made the experience worthwhile

Plus size kimono with Alisa ! Celebrating Honeymoon

The most memorable part of this day was being able to wear a kimono and a yukata for my husband. When coming to Japan especially the first time, you must experience this kimono wear! Walking around Asakusa, touring around Sensoji Temple and embracing Japan's history will truly leave a mark memory on you! Alisa was super helpful, very kind and patience along with the staff who helped us put on the kimono and yukata. Everyone was super helpful and we felt so comfortable. Alisa will tour with you and share get areas to take photos of you and they turned out really good! Despite it was rainy and windy on the day, we managed to continue to take fantastic photos, tour around the temple and enjoying the local area. Please ensure what ever weather you will be attending be sure you are weather prepared! It rained on and off that day but it was okay. Plus size woman! Please know I booked this experience 2-3 weeks prior to our trip. If you are a 3XL (CAD or USD) please be sure you check your measurements accordingly! I got myself measured at a tailor prior everything. Alisa did her research and contacted another kimono place that had my size (it was between purple or pink = both colors were amazing) and pink. It was a special day alone because we were celebrating our Honeymoon pictures and both my husband and I loved it! Only thing was, I must let people who are on the bigger size, it may be a little tight in some areas (for me under the breast/stomach area) and for my husband under his waist was a little tight but if you can endure it for 3 hours (like us) you will be okay! Also take great care of these kimono, avoid staining and damaging any of these kimono's and yukata because you will get charged. I was so worried because of the rain but it was okay! It kept us warm and at times kind of sweaty! So plan accordingly when experiencing kimono wearing! You won't regret it :) LASTLY, you have to ask Alisa the popular pineapple bun~! Such a nice treat especially when it's freshly baked!

Amazing curvy cutie experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the plus size kimono experience with Alisa. She was kind enough to wait for me when I got a little lost on the way to her, and once I arrived, it was magical what unfolded! We went to an intimate kimono shop where I was able to pick every single layer of my kimono as well as an endless amount of accessories, handbags and adornments. She answered all my questions about the culture while we enjoyed a stroll through the Sensō-ji temple area and took loads of pictures and videos. We even stopped for food with the vendors and she ate some delicious takoyaki with me! If you are a plus size curvy cutie, I can’t recommend this experience enough! The options were endless and the expertise was amazing. And more over, Alisa’s kindness and caring nature made the experience all the more better. 10/10 would do again!

Great for solo travelers

I did a solo trip to Japan back in October and renting a kimono was on my list of things to do. Since I’m plus size I was worried about whether or not I would be able to find a place that had kimonos that would fit me. Luckily Alisa (Nico Japan Tour) popped up as a suggestion. Alisa takes you to your kimono rental place and helps translate for you. She also takes you around and helps take pictures for you. She knew where all the cute instagram worthy photo spots were at too. It was nice to have her service has a guide for a few hours while sightseeing, especially since I was traveling alone. Definitely recommend her service. Thanks Alisa!!!

Magical day

I had the best day ever, because I never knew I could wear kimono in my size. Even tho it was unbelievbly hot and humid it was a great experience with Alisa. When I wore the kimono I felt like a princess and after seeing the pictures I felt so beautiful. Thank you Alisa so much!

Kimono love!

This was such a wonderful Japanese culture. Alisa and team were incredible. I learned so much and was never ashamed to ask questions. It only took me 30 minutes to put on a kimono and hair set and she fine-tuned it for my large figure. Above all, I was able to wear a kimono that I had given up on. It remains in my heart with the photo. Arisa, when summer comes, I'll definitely wear a yukata when I go home :⁠ )

Thanks for the review. You enjoyed the culture. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next experience. NicoTour Japan / Alisa
