Private Kimono & Photo Experience with a Tokyo-Trained Stylist
Experience Japanese culture through a private kimono experience in Sapporo, Hokkaido.
After meeting at Kita 34 Jo Station, you will be welcomed into a Japanese-style room in a local neighborhood. In a calm tatami space, a kimono dresser with over 10 years of bridal hair and kimono experience will help you choose a kimono and style your hair beautifully.
This experience is not only about wearing kimono. You will also learn about kimono styles, formality, seasonal patterns, and the meanings behind traditional Japanese patterns through simple explanations and photos.
"Kimono has a story."
I hope you can enjoy the beauty and depth of Japanese culture.
After dressing, we will visit a shrine or park for a relaxing cultural walk and memory photos. We can travel comfortably by car.
Photo data will be shared later via Google Drive.
Summer Information
In summer, breathable summer kimono are provided.
Dressing takes place in an air-conditioned Western-style room instead of a tatami room.

Snack Bar Hopping Night in Kyoto
Join a fun and social local bar crawl through Kyoto’s hidden snack bars — small, neighborhood bars where locals drink, sing karaoke, and unwind after work!
On this experience, you will visit two different snack bars, each with its own atmosphere and local regulars.
Japanese snack bars are not food-focused bars. Instead, they are casual local spots centered on drinks, conversation, and karaoke, usually hosted by the owner, often called “Mama,” who creates a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
With a local English-speaking guide, you’ll visit bars you would never enter on your own, learn how snack bars work, and enjoy Kyoto’s nightlife the way locals do.

Miyazaki's local cuisine experience Let's make cold soup and chicken Nanban! Super Local Food Cooking!
Speaking of Miyazaki's local cuisine, it's cold. And chicken nanban. Chilled miso soup is a traditional home-cooked meal usually eaten at homes around Miyazaki City. During the hot summer months, when you have no appetite, your mother will make it. There are various ways of making it depending on each home and area, but you can make a basic cold soup using sesame seeds. While holding a mortar and chatteringly, I will rub the gori goori and the girl. Chicken Nanjo is a relatively new dish that was born in Nobeoka City, but now it is the soul food of Miyazaki prefectures. It is offered at many restaurants in Miyazaki, but it is also fun to make it yourself. We make these two items in about 2 hours.

Zen Meditation for Life in Kyoto
Kyoto has been the principal home of Zen since its introduction to Japan from China at the beginning of the 13th century. Kyoto is therefore rightly famous for its Zen-influenced gardens, etc. However, the heart of Zen is the practice of meditation, for meditation is the very meaning of the word “Zen.” Given this, it is ironic there are few opportunities for short-term visitors to Kyoto to have more than a brief introduction to Zen meditation while visiting Zen temples. Thus, this workshop is unique in providing an extended, in-depth introduction to both the theory and practice of meditation (zazen) under the guidance of American-born, Sōtō Zen Buddhist priest and scholar Rev. Dr. Brian Victoria. Rev. Victoria will introduce you to both the theory and practice of Zen meditation, employing traditional meditation cushions (or chairs if needed) in a private meditation hall. By workshop completion, participants will become confident in their ability to continue meditating on their own.
