They dress you up nicely and the bag is free. They also make your hair look cute. The shop is on the second floor. It's inconvenient, but it's a shop I'd like to use again! It's easy to choose your outfit, and if you choose your favorite bottom, they'll recommend several tops to go with it, so I was able to decide right away.

We arrived at 9am when the shop opened. My mother and I got dressed. There were so many lovely costumes to choose from, it was hard to decide. The initial price includes hair, and if you want something more elaborate with lots of decorations, you can pay an extra 300 yen and they'll make it even nicer. We were very satisfied and highly recommend this shop!

It's very convenient. The drivers are nice, punctual and fast. The seats are wide and comfortable. Some other passengers were so comfortable that they snored. We went to the left rest stop to rest for 15 minutes. Great!
