Read moreIt was such a unique experience we had. We choose a Kimono from a rich selection, and went to an old Japanese house, which make us feel like we travelled in time. Yoko-san told us the pholilosophy and background of the ceremony, and performed an amazing ceremony. Ryoga, our photographer took amazing photos, and helped us a lot to give the right pose.

It is a must go experience. And special thanks to Yoko-san and Ryoga-san for this...
