The shop isn't very big, and when we arrived there were already 7-8 foreigners inquiring, so it was a bit crowded. Although we waited a while, the front desk was quite efficient. It was my first time interacting with the pigs in person, and the pigs were all very cute. The staff helped assign pigs, so basically everyone could interact with at least one pig. The staff also asked if we wanted to pay for a Polaroid photo. Since it was a rare opportunity to experience this, we definitely had to take one. You can get an instant discount by sharing the shop on Instagram or writing a review on Google. Additionally, drinks are self-service, so it's recommended to get your drink before sitting down, otherwise the piglets will fall asleep on your lap and won't be able to get up. Finally, I'd like to mention that although the experience was very enjoyable and unique, and the store explained the terms and conditions, saying that the piglets' safety was the top priority, we were a little worried that the store might be deliberately feeding the piglets very small portions to prevent them from urinating or defecating easily. Many of the piglets were very thin, almost skin and bones, and one or two of them even had small scabbed wounds. Also, the store's hours were in short bursts, and we were worried that the piglets didn't get enough rest and food. We hope that the store can truly treat the piglets well, instead of just using them as tools to make money and extract as much profit as possible.
I was extremely satisfied with my kimono experience at MOCOMOCO Kimono Asakusa Kaminarimon Store! Located on the fourth floor with an elevator, it's convenient for those with luggage or elderly companions, eliminating worries about climbing stairs. The store boasts a wide variety of kimono styles, from traditional and elegant to cute and fashionable, along with numerous accessories and hair accessories to choose from, allowing for personalized customization. I also opted for makeup and professional photography services. The makeup was exquisite and natural, and the hairstyle perfectly complemented the kimono. The photographer patiently guided my poses, ensuring that even those who don't often have their photos taken could capture many beautiful and memorable images, making the entire experience more complete. The staff are from Japan, mainland China, and Taiwan, so communication was seamless, and they also spoke English. Their friendly and patient service, from selecting and wearing the kimono to styling, was meticulous. The store's location is very close to Senso-ji Temple and Kaminarimon Gate, making it easy to stroll and take photos after changing. The entire process was smooth, the service professional, and the price well worth it. If I ever travel to Asakusa again, I will definitely choose this store again, and I highly recommend it to travelers who want to experience kimono and create lasting memories.
