Price List

Three-Part Package

As this event will be held for one day only this year, we kindly ask that applications include the full set of:
kimono dressing (Kitsuke), Family commemorative photography session and the memorial Buddhist ceremony.

Hair Styling at Home

As the venue is expected to be busy on the day, we would appreciate it if you could arrive with your child’s hair already styled so that dressing can proceed smoothly after check-in. Even a simple updo can look very charming on children, and we will provide handmade tsumami-zaiku kanzashi (traditional Japanese hair ornaments) free of charge on the day.

A Special Ceremony Experience at EKŌ-ji Temple

Together with a monk from EKŌ-ji Temple, we will offer prayers to the Buddha in celebration of your child’s growth and well-being. This will surely become a precious experience for your whole family (approx. 20–30 minutes).
Accordingly, when attending the Shichi-Go-San memorial service held at EKŌ-ji Temple, we would appreciate it if you could offer a separate donation (ofuse) at the main hall.

Registration deadline: Saturday, August 15, 2026.
