Editor's note

Mariange is the rare studio that covers Karuizawa's resort forests, Gunma's mountain lake corridor (Harunako), and a route into Kyoto — meaning a couple flying into Tokyo can choose between a same-week Karuizawa shoot and a Kyoto extension without switching vendors.

Their published menu is unusually granular: ¥44,000 for an in-studio Western dress shoot through ¥286,000 for the Karuizawa forest location route. Hair, makeup, dressing, and the wardrobe are bundled in every plan; data is included with no per-cut surcharge. The Harunako lake plan at ¥198,000 is uncommon in this directory — pre-wedding shoots are usually city or shrine, rarely a mountain reservoir.

We list Mariange because the location menu spans three prefectures from a single inquiry, the studio publishes both entry-level (¥55,000 kimono studio) and resort-tier (¥286,000 Karuizawa) prices openly, and the wardrobe and styling costs sit inside the package rather than as a line item added later. 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.
