Go to Japan to experience a professional Cosplay photography experience

I took part in this shooting experience through a friend introduction, the experience felt really good. The cameras are fully equipped and the venue selection is diverse; the on-site staff are all professional and friendly, and will also guide the shooting posture when you don’t know how to shoot. Unfortunately I did not offer hairdressing service when I went, and if I can add paid options in the future, the service will be more complete.

Best photographer ever!

I’ve been cosplaying for a long time and their photographer was literally the best I’ve ever worked with. Sin was so kind and good at making me look my best. He made me feel confident and I am absolutely obsessed with how the pictures turned out! If I could afford it I would fly all the way to Tokyo again just to get him to take pictures of my next cosplay. The studio and props were also super neat! I do recommend bringing your own wig with you because they don’t offer them.

Do it!!!

The cosplay experience was so fun and exciting! I first was a little nervous but the photographer and the ladies helping were very nice and encouraging so I relaxed into it. I don't know a lot of anime but I did recognize a butterfly cosplay clothing item so I decided to try that character's costume and being called "kawaii" made me feel good! I think the pictures on my phone came out very well, so I'm excited to see the professional photos! Vedant and Umi (my friends!) being apart of the photos also made me feel a lot more comfortable and Umi looked like she was having fun :) I'm very camera shy so I'm actually surprised I signed up for the cosplay but I'm glad I did ♡

10/10 would recommend!

This was my first time cosplaying, and I'll admit I enjoyed it more than I thought I would! I cosplayed as Gintoki and my friend as Kagura! There are many costumes to pick from, unfortunately they don't have super-recent ones and they can't lend you any wig, but the shooting booths and props are pretty versatile, and the photographer is professional and helped us out suggesting interesting poses! Kudos to the guide as well! I would definitely recommend this, the place is close to the Animate store and other doujinshi shops you might visit anyhow hehe

Professional photographers are amazing...!

I was nervous at first because I was not used to having my photo taken, but I felt comfortable because the photographer instructed me on poses and facial expressions. There are a lot of angles and bad shots that I don't like when I shoot for other amateurs, but the actual result is also very professional. I was surprised at the quality of the photos that could not be taken with a smartphone.

Best experience

I was the fitst time to cosplay in this tour. it was exsiting! Firstly, there are a lot of costumes in the studio! I wont wear alice, and it was there! Secondly, their guide asked some poses. I have no idea to pose during taking pictures, so it's great suggestion! If you plan to try to cosplay, good experience to attend this tour!

Commemorative photo that can only be taken here in Japan

I participated with a friend. Since there was no wig, I participated with makeup tools. There are limited types of costumes, but the guide supported me in choosing the costumes, and it was fun to wear costumes that I had never worn before. At first, I was nervous, but as I used many props, I gradually became more excited thinking about what kind of image I should take in the photos. I was able to take memorable photos that I couldn't take elsewhere. Thank you.

A high quality cosplay experience

I had such a great time! The photo studio was about 10 minutes from the meeting spot. There were so many costumes to choose from that it was hard to decide! Wigs weren’t included, so I picked an outfit that matched my own hairstyle. The studio had lots of different themed photo booths, and the whole place felt really vibrant. I don’t usually get the chance to be photographed by a professional, so I felt a bit shy at first. But the photographer and guide gave suggestions for poses and expressions, which made it fun and easy to get into it. I think it’s a perfect experience for anyone new to cosplay!

First Time Cosplay? Absolutely Worth It!

✨ My First Cosplay Experience! ✨ It was my first time trying a cosplay costume experience, and even though I went solo, the staff were incredibly kind and supportive. They helped me choose the perfect costume that suited me well. During the photoshoot, the professional photographers were so friendly and guided me through poses. They even accepted my requests, which made the experience feel truly special! The studio was amazing — there were tons of props to choose from and so many beautifully themed rooms. I had so much fun and felt completely immersed in the world of cosplay. Highly recommended for anyone curious to try it out, even if you're going alone! 💫

Perfect for Beginners that wanna try Cosplay Shooting

Really funny experience! I had a small problem with the size of the first cosplay I choose, but after that they helped me to find another one that suits me. There are a lot of studios you can use -the Pink one was my favourite!!-, and after taking pictures alone, you can have some professional shoots with your friends!!
