Meeting her was a stroke of luck for our family. Even though it was a last-minute request, Sachiko handled everything with incredible care and speed. My daughter had already finished her wedding in Big Sur, but she suddenly realized she really wanted to take photos in a traditional kimono. I was worried we wouldn't have enough time to prepare, but Sachiko listened closely to my daughter's requests and the final dressing was absolutely stunning. Initially, we thought only the bride and groom would wear kimono, but thanks to her, our entire family ended up taking photos in traditional Japanese attire. My parents, who are 90 and 93, were hesitant at first, thinking it would be too bothersome or tiring. However, she gently suggested that this was a rare and special opportunity. We took her advice, and it was the best decision we could have made! My father wore a haori-hakama for the first time ever, and my mother was overjoyed to be in a kimono again after so many years. Sachiko single-handedly dressed a total of seven people. I can only imagine how difficult the preparation and time management must have been, but she remained professional, efficient, and had a beautiful smile throughout the entire process. It became a truly unforgettable chapter in our family's memories. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. read more

Sachiko-san is the absolute best person to have by your side if you are interested in wearing kimonos. We worked with Sachiko-san for our wedding ceremony and it was the best decision we ever made. We originally weren't sure if it would be appropriate to wear wedding kimonos for a wedding ceremony as small as ours, but she kindly, passionately encouraged us to follow our hearts. Her gentle push is what helped us feel confident in our decision, and it was honestly the best decision we could have ever made. From the moment we first connected, to our kimono fitting prior to our ceremony, to the day of, Sachiko-san was always there for us. Our moms also decided to wear kimonos, one who would rent from Sachiko-san, the other bringing her own kimono. Since we were traveling from the Bay Area, there were many factors at play but Sachiko-san handled any and all unexpected turns with grace and humor! Her energy was such a welcome light to a potentially hectic day, and she helped keep me grounded throughout our entire ceremony. She accompanied us during our couples shoot to make sure our kimonos looked great, guided our photographer on traditional poses, and just provided us with encouragement and love throughout. Our wedding is something we will always cherish for the rest of our lives, and a huge part of that is all thanks to Sachiko-san. read more

WHEN YOU SERVE THE CUSTOMER BETTER, THEY ALWAYS RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. By Arnold Palmer and ..... US We had Sachiko-san handle our eldest daughter's Shichi-Go-San ceremony four years ago, and we've decided we absolutely want her to do our second daughter's 7 yrs old Shichi-Go-San as well.

We worked with Sachiko-san for our wedding celebration and she was wonderful to work with. From the initial reachout to the trial fit to the day-of, she was very thoughtful and supportive, providing valuable insight and suggestions throughout the whole process. Since we were located outside of her service area (Los Angeles), we mostly did the coordination through email, but it definitely helped when we reviewed and trialed the selected shiromuku and irouchikake together in-person at her studio prior to the event. On the day of, she truly stepped in to support me throughout the day, not only providing posing guidance for my photographer but also attending me while we were dressed up. She also did my hair and makeup, which matched perfectly with my attires. We couldn't have had a better celebration if not for her dedication. Thank you so much 幸子さん! read more

Without a doubt, my wedding would not have happened if I hadn't met Sachiko-san and hired her for kimono rental, hair stylist, and of course Kaizoe. My wedding was tumultuous. Many things went awry, but she was the main source keeping me optimistic and grounded throughout all of it. She was my absolute rock and gives the term Kaizoe it's meaning and weight. I met Sachiko after scouring the internet for a kimono rental for my wedding last July. While, I had done a trial with a different local kimono rental place prior to meeting her, they just weren't what I was looking for. They had many beautiful shiromuku and uchikake. They are very prestigious in the local Japanese and Hollywood community. However, it wasn't a fit for me. I had some apprehensions towards aspects of the kimono that weren't as traditional, and, once I met Sachiko in person, it was no contest in choosing her. Not only did she win me over with her contagious laughter, strength, and determination, she also won my entire family and close friends over with every introduction she made. For instance, while I initially hired her to do my father's and my dressing alone, she saw that my siblings were having difficulty dressing themselves and jumped to assist them without even being asked. We all looked amazing thanks to her. With the pictures and videos, it's undeniable that she has great aesthetics and work. She is an artist. But, you cannot convey the level of expertise and professionalism she brings with her work in snapshots. Although, I paid upfront, she was willing to dedicate as much of her time as I wanted to work with her in the months leading up to the wedding. She was always flexible, warm, and instrumentally helpful to me in every meeting we had. I can say with my full heart that she is the best at what she does in all of Southern California and going with anyone else would a mistake. Thank you Sachiko-san for working to ensure that Nick and I had our perfect wedding. read more

Sachiko is an amazing person to work with. Not only was she an extremely attentive and soothing Kaizoe for my sister at her wedding. She also made beautiful moments while outfitting both my sister and father for the magical day with lots of wonderful options for them to choose from.

We went back to Sachiko for another Shichigosan. There are a few things to add. First, her new kimono studio is very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed trying on the kimono as much as wearing them for the event. Second, Sachiko's kimono collection has really expanded. She has sophisticated taste and there are many outstanding choices. Third, Sachiko is very knowledgeable about Japanese culture and the strict rules of kimono. Her technique is fantastic. Finally, it is a real pleasure working with Sachiko. She is great with kids and a lot of fun. She is generous with her time. Considering the quality of her collection, the depth of her knowledge, and the amount of time she spends with each client, there is no doubt that she earns her professional fee...and then some!! read more

I had the wonderful opportunity of renting a kimono for my coming-of-age ceremony (成人式) from Kachou-kimono, and it was definitely one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had, which I will cherish forever! I have always wanted to participate in this tradition ever since I saw photos of my mother when she was in her 20s, and as a dedication to that, I wanted to recreate a similar look. Sachiko-san helped me so much in replicating what I desired by adding similar colors and hair accessories to my mother's photos. Because of her very energetic and cheerful personality, I truly felt like a little girl playing dress-up again while picking out everything. At the end of the day, although I went in for a kimono rental experience, the best part of it all was the beautiful interaction I was able to have with Sachiko-san herself. She truly felt like a second mother to me, and it was definately one of those rare occasions where you instantly **click** with someone you had just met. If you are planning on renting from her, I would 100% guarantee you will experience so much more than just renting a kimono!! read more

5 stars is not enough for Sachiko, who was not only an expert at picking the right colors and accesories for my kimono to go with the theme of my son's wedding, but also was a wealth of information on Japanese culture and traditions! She gave me a key piece of historical information for my wedding speech on the heritage of the Japanese culture that made the wedding all the more special! It was extremely obvious at the wedding to see which people rented their outfits from Sachiko and which ones were not. Even in the assembly of the outfit on the body with all the complex pieces and accessories, Sachiko's explanation of what goes into the process was enormously helpful for us to pick out which outfits were done properly. And it showed on the way these kimonos hung on our bodies! Her presence at the wedding to ensure that we continued to be comfortable in our outfits was also reassuring, made all the more joyful by Sachiko's bubbly personality, always cheerful and encouraging. And to top it off, Sachiko gave me a Japanese facial message the week before the wedding, which reduced my eyebags and made me look that much younger as a mother-in-law! The resulting photos from this help was priceless! THANK YOU SACHIKO!!! read more

Not only was she able to adjust her schedule for me to make this possible but she completely blew any expectations that I had with her professionalism, kindness, and sincerity. She got back to me as soon as I messaged her and we were able to work out a schedule on the spot! On the day of my girlfriend's fitting it was such a fun and lovely experience! My girlfriend had a blast choosing from the insane amount of options that Sachiko had prepared for her.

As others mentioned already, it was more than just wearing Kimono. It was magical healing. Sachiko makes others feel special and precious. She has talent to discover beauty and humanity within the person as the she adds layer of clothe and accessories. I had goosebump when she put me the white silky gown. I could sense something within me woke up and I could feel more dignity and appreciations towards myself and others. I could see how Sachiko puts effort to prepare everything for customers beyond our imaginations and she always takes extra mile (literally). She allowed me to visit her studio 2 times to choose Kimono and looking at her collections already made my heart enchanted. She loves every pieces of Kimono and manages them with deep care.

I needed to wear kimono for a music recital that was held online earlier this month, and Kachou-kimono was exactly the business I was hoping to find for renting an outfit. I left a voicemail and Sachiko san promptly texted me to set up a phone consultation for the next day. When I went to the salon in person, she had several outfits laid out for me to try, based on the descriptions and photos I had sent her. She even came to my recording day to help me dress and make sure I looked good on camera, and she took lots of great photos to share with me.

Very aggressive sales. She kept on selling her cosmetics while shooting. Booked her for kids 753 and she kept on selling us mother's kimono as well which is way more costly than 753 kimono.
