Kimono Rental × Cinematic Photo Shoot Provided One-Stop! New Photo Experience Service for Inbound Tourists in Asakusa and Kyoto to Begin

## Press Release Information Title: Kimono Rental × Cinematic Photo Shoot Provided One-Stop! New Photo Experience Service for Inbound Tourists in Asakusa and Kyoto to Begin Subtitle: Company Name: Industry: Body: CARATT Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Takayuki Okuno) will launch a new service "Kimono Rental & Photo Service CARATT.inc" for inbound tourists in Asakusa and Kyoto from Monday, May 18, 2026, combining kimono rental and professional photography. This service is a new photo experience that goes beyond mere commemorative photos, offering a "designed experience" that combines studio photography with outdoor location photography, allowing customers to capture photos as if they were scenes from a movie. ### Why Kimono × Photography Now? With the increase in inbound tourists, there is a growing demand not only to experience Japanese culture but also to "preserve that experience in a more impressive and beautiful way." On the other hand, traditional tourist photos often focus on documentary elements, and there are many cases where the expression and completeness are unsatisfactory. CARATT Co., Ltd. leverages its photography techniques and production skills cultivated in various fields such as kids, family, wedding, and location photography, to provide a new photo service that visualizes the experience itself. ### Experience Overview In this service, customers choose their favorite kimono and have their hair styled before the photo shoot begins. First, portrait photography utilizing lighting is performed in a calm indoor space. Afterwards, more dynamic photography takes place against the backdrop of Asakusa and Kyoto's historic townscapes, featuring traditional scenery and vibrant urban areas. During the shoot, photographers gently guide natural posing and expressions, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere. ### - Cinematic Photo Expression Emphasizing light, composition, and storytelling, photos are taken as if they were scenes from a movie. - Studio × Outdoor Experience Design By combining portrait photography with controlled indoor lighting and location photography in the townscapes of Asakusa and Kyoto, diverse expressions are achieved. - Easy for Beginners to Shoot Naturally Photographers carefully guide all posing and movements, so even those unaccustomed to photo shoots can participate with peace of mind. - Photo Experience Unaffected by Weather Even in rainy weather, the experience maintains its world view and quality by focusing primarily on studio photography. ### - Eligible Stores - Studio Coffret Asakusa Kuramae Studio - Studio Caratt Kyoto Nishijin Store - Service Start Date - From Monday, May 18, 2026 - *Varies depending on the booking site.
