When renting a kimono in Asakusa and transforming into something so beautiful, you’d definitely want to capture the moment with beautiful photos, right?
One of the frequently asked questions by customers who have their kimonos dressed at Rikawafuku Kimono Asakusa Store is, “Where can I take Purikura photos?”
It’s nice to share pictures on social media with your smartphone, but why not add some cuteness and sparkle to your photos with Purikura?
So, this time, we will introduce places in Asakusa where you can rent a kimono and then take Purikura photos afterwards.

Speaking of Asakusa, the oldest amusement park in Japan, “Hanayashiki,” is also famous and a must-visit.
Actually, inside this Hanayashiki, there is a game corner called “Game Plaza,” which also has Purikura machines.
Hanayashiki’s original Purikura machines are perfect for taking commemorative Purikura photos! Of course, they also have popular Purikura machines available.
After taking Purikura photos in your kimono, you can explore the area around Hanayashiki in your kimono as well.

Since you’re dressed up so beautifully in a kimono, why not try some recommended Purikura poses?
Pose 1: Over-the-Shoulder Beauty
The key to the kimono pose is to show off your exposed nape and a cute obi knot.
Turn around and give the “over-the-shoulder beauty” pose, looking slightly downward with an upward glance for added allure!
Pose 2: Peek-a-Boo
One of the recent breakout comedians is “Peek-a-Boo Man.”
Let’s mimic the mischievous “Peek-a-Boo pose” where you playfully show your face from behind an object!
Since kimonos and yukatas have long sleeves, make sure to capture the sleeves’ cute patterns effectively.
Pose 3: Ghost
Everyone knows what a ghost is, right? Hide your palm inside the sleeve and say, “Oooh~”
You’ll become an adorable ghost!
Above are the details about places where you can take Purikura photos in the Asakusa area.
Capture your kimono rental memories in a cute way with Purikura photos!
