How much does a kimono rental in Asakusa cost?
At Ennichi, from ¥5,500 for a kids’ kimono up to ¥25,000 for furisode. The casual styles suited to walking around town cluster between ¥5,500 and ¥8,000, and the price climbs as the kimono gets more formal.
| Plan | From, per day |
|---|---|
| Kids’ kimono | ¥5,500 |
| Komon | ¥6,000 |
| Lace kimono | ¥7,000 |
| Short-sleeve furisode | ¥7,000 |
| Men’s kimono | ¥8,000 |
| Iromuji | ¥13,000 |
| Homongi | ¥16,000 |
| Color tomesode | ¥16,000 |
| Black tomesode | ¥16,000 |
| Furisode | ¥25,000 |
Komon at ¥6,000 is the lowest of the adult plans. What that figure already covers — the kimono, the obi, zori sandals, a matching bag and basic hair styling — is itemised on the price breakdown page.
How much do the add-ons put on each person?
Nothing, if you decline them. There are only four kinds of addition, and these are the rates. When you build a budget, multiply the per-person lines by your headcount.
| Add-on | Rate | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| Make-up | ¥4,500 | Per person |
| Elaborate hair styling | ¥1,700 | Per person |
| Otaiko obi knot | ¥1,500 | Per use |
| Decorative kawari obi knot | ¥3,000 | Per use |
| Overnight return extension | ¥1,100 | Per person |
The difference shows up in a group: the three per-person lines scale straight with headcount, while the obi knot is counted per use. Only make-up must be reserved in advance and cannot be added on the day, so it is a decision to make while booking rather than at the counter.
How do I work out the total for two or four people?
Starting price times headcount, plus the options you choose. Here is how the common shapes are built, using komon:
- One person, nothing added: ¥6,000 × 1
- Two people, both with elaborate hair: (¥6,000 + ¥1,700) × 2
- Four people, two of them with make-up: ¥6,000 × 4 + ¥4,500 × 2
- Adding one outdoor photo session: the popular 60-minute outdoor plan is ¥16,000, booked in advance
We give the arithmetic rather than a single figure because the headcount and the options differ for every group. Swap in furisode and the base becomes ¥25,000, but the shape of the sum is the same.
When do the deposits leave your pocket, and when do they come back?
The reservation deposit goes out when you book; the security deposit goes out when you leave the shop. The reservation deposit is ¥1,000 for one to four guests and ¥2,000 for five to eight, and paying it is what confirms the booking. The security deposit is ¥10,000 per person (¥20,000 for premium furisode), and it comes back in full when the kimono is returned.
So the money that temporarily leaves your hands on the day is larger than the rental price alone. How the security deposit works has its own page, and the accepted payment methods have another. If plans change, cancelling or moving the date is free until 20:00 the day before your visit, and cancellations after that cannot be accepted.
What is the cheapest way to do this?
Pick komon and add nothing. The obi, the zori and basic hair styling are already inside the listed price, so this one goes out of the door at ¥6,000.
Two more things keep the figure down. Getting back by the 17:00 same-day deadline: past it, the rental is treated as an overnight return and ¥1,100 per person is added. And settling your plans by 20:00 the night before, since up to that point changes and cancellations are free.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a kimono rental in Asakusa cost?
Our ten plans run from ¥5,500 for a kids' kimono to ¥25,000 for furisode. The casual styles most people walk Asakusa in sit at the bottom of that range: komon from ¥6,000, lace kimono and short-sleeve furisode from ¥7,000, men's kimono from ¥8,000.
What is the total for two or four people?
Take the plan's starting price, multiply by headcount, then add the options you choose. In komon that base is ¥6,000 times two, or ¥6,000 times four. On top of that, per-person items such as make-up at ¥4,500 and elaborate hair at ¥1,700 are counted per head.
Are the deposits money I need on top of the rental price?
Yes, both sit outside the rental price. The reservation deposit is ¥1,000 for one to four guests and ¥2,000 for five to eight, and paying it is what confirms the booking. The security deposit is ¥10,000 per person (¥20,000 for premium furisode), held while you are out and returned in full when the kimono comes back.
What is the cheapest way to do this?
Choose komon (from ¥6,000) and add nothing. The obi, the zori and basic hair styling already sit inside the listed price. After that, getting back by the 17:00 same-day deadline avoids the ¥1,100 overnight extension.
