You'll learn how to select, wear, and style a vintage kimono in a modern way before visiting Tenso Shrine and strolling the historic streets of Otsuka for a photo shoot. The session concludes at Kimono Hazuki Otsuka, where you'll savor tea from Fukuoka paired with seasonal wagashi (Japanese treats elevated to works of art) by Shiho Sakamoto of Shiwon.
