We had a hen party with Takayo and it was a lovely, relaxed day. The Kimonos were beautiful. Takayo took the time to explain the history and tradition associated with the kimono as well as meaning behind names. She also spoke to the bride to be about places to visit in Japan whilst on honeymoon. Each guest got to choose their colour and accessories. There was plenty of time to take photos as well. Our party was held at the Islington venue which isn’t too far from Angel station and easy to get to. Takayo made booking so simple and had it been possible to fit into our schedule we would have taken up some of her additional activities. I’d highly recommend Takayo’s hen parties for a unique experience.read more
