Travel time from USA

Direct flights from the West Coast to Tokyo (Haneda or Narita) take about 10 to 12 hours, and about 13 to 14 hours from the East Coast. Osaka (Kansai) also has direct flights from several US cities, and Nagoya (Centrair) from Detroit. The time difference is 13 to 17 hours depending on your city, so a morning in Japan is the previous afternoon or evening in the US.

If you would like to see the studio and the dresses or kimono in person, a fitting visit the day before the shoot is also possible.

Before your trip

Our staff reply to email inquiries in English, and an English-speaking interpreter joins online consultations. Plans, locations and costumes can all be decided before you arrive.

Photo delivery

Your photos are delivered online, so you can receive them after you return home.

Couples from overseas usually settle the plan, location and costumes by email before arriving in Japan, then visit us just once on the shoot day. If your schedule allows, you can also come in for a costume fitting the day before. We recommend booking 1 to 2 months ahead, and 3 to 6 months ahead for cherry blossom or autumn-leaf season.
