The story

A partner studio dresses you in kimono (they charge you directly), and your host walks you through Kiunkaku's gardens and the old streets, taking the photographs on your own phone. You'll have no strangers in your pictures and no rush.

A studio near the station dresses you in kimono, sorts the obi and the sandals, and sends you out into the town. We walk to Kiunkaku, the 1919 villa where Tanizaki and Dazai stayed, and through its gardens and rooms, then down the old streets to the sea.

Your host carries the bags, keeps the time, and takes the photographs on your own phone. The studio sets the price and you pay them directly.

The kimono studio charges you directly; your host guides and takes the photographs on your own phone.
