Season Events

Please arrive ahead of time on the day of the event. In case you are significantly late, you might not be able to join the experience. (The time can be changed, if there is availability).

Please note that you are not allowed to eat, drink, smoke or walk around the Studio Park while dressed up.

The number of costumes is limited. Please note that they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

To fit into the costume, children must be over 5 years old and over 110cm tall. Please choose among Shinsengumi, Ryoma, Young Samurai, or Ninja costumes.

Children costumes are available for visitors up to 145cm of height.

If the size of the costume does not fit, you may not be able to dress up. Also, kimonos will be provided according to body size, so we may not be able to accommodate your request for color/pattern.

Wig and makeup can be added for an additional fee. If you have such requests, please let the staff know on the day. Please note that we may decline your request depending on conditions.

Adding make up will extend the time for the costume by approx. 30 mins, so the time for the experience will also change. Bookings for 15:00 cannot add “Make-up” options.

As it is dangerous for customers who have difficulty moving independently, we are unable to provide them the experience.

In case of rain, the experience will be held indoors. Photo shoots will take place with the town of Edo in the background.

There is no interpreter, and a translation device will be used if necessary, but the content can generally be enjoyed without an interpreter.

Please bring your own makeup kit to touch up your makeup after dressing up.

After dressing up, you can have your photo taken by a professional photographer. Separate fees: from 4,000yen

No discounts available for annual pass holders.

Cancellations are accepted up to 2 days before the reservation date. (After that, 100% of the fee will be charged.)
