Editor's note

Kamakura Kimono Studio is the rare Kamakura pre-wedding studio that publishes a full six-plan menu with weekday and weekend rates separately listed — ¥132,000 to ¥242,000 on weekdays, with weekend surcharges of +¥22,000 stated up front. Shoots run between 2.5 and 6 hours depending on tier, with all edited photo data delivered without further per-cut fees.

They split the menu into Studio Plans (controlled lighting, faster pace) and Location Plans (Kamakura's historic temple-and-shrine routes plus seaside frames). The Wa-yō Premium tier ¥242,000 covers a kimono + Western dress combination across two routes — useful when a couple wants both Kamakura's spiritual and coastal sides in the same day.

We list this studio because the pricing structure is unusually transparent for the area, weekend surcharges are stated up front, and the menu separates studio-only from location-shoot tiers so a couple can decide before the inquiry email. Site is in Japanese; Wasou Wedding bridges English and Korean correspondence.

What's included in a kimono pre-wedding shoot

Session length: Usually 1.5–3 hours on location; half-day and multi-location packages run longer.
Kimono & outfits: One outfit is normally included. A second change — for example a white shiromuku plus a colourful iro-uchikake — is a common add-on.
Hair, make-up & dressing: Traditional styling, professional dressing (kitsuke) and, where needed, a wig (katsura). Included in most full packages, an add-on in lighter ones.
Delivered photos: Commonly 20–100+ retouched images depending on the plan; some studios also offer all the raw data.
Location & permits: The studio arranges the shoot location. Shrine, temple or garden permit fees are frequently billed separately.

These are typical ranges across the studios listed on Wasou Wedding Japan — not fixed figures. Confirm exact inclusions, outfit counts and delivered-photo numbers with each photographer before booking.
