It costs 17,000 yen for afternoon tea and 18,000 yen for a full lunch. It's assumed that you'll take a lot of images, and if you'd like some professional assistance, a professional photography service can be added for 5,500 yen.
Hotel Gajoen Tokyo touts itself as a "museum hotel" and is located in Tokyo's Meguro area.
The structure houses various pieces of great art, as well as a lovely and expansive garden, and its ancient Hundred-Step Staircase, which is depicted above and embellished with painted ceilings, has been recognized as a tangible cultural property by the city.
It's an ideal setting for wearing a kimono.
Reservations for the Retro Kimono Plan can be made on the hotel's website until June 12th.
