FAQ
- What options of the STUDIO SHOOTING PLAN are popular?
Our most popular option is the one that allows the use of a variety of items during the shoot. With the basic plan, only a sword can be used. However, for an additional 2,000 JPY per group, you may also use spears, matchlock guns, bows, a fog machine, and projection mapping during the photo session.
- What is the difference with S rank and A rank?
The main difference lies in the price of the armor. The quality of the materials used and the amount of craftsmanship involved are reflected in the final price.
Of course, the materials and techniques used in SS and S Rank armor are exceptional. However, even A Rank armor is of very high quality, and anyone who sees it will be impressed by the level of detail and craftsmanship.
A Rank: ¥500,000 – ¥1,000,000
S Rank: ¥1,000,000 – ¥3,000,000
SS Rank: From ¥3,000,000 and up
- Should I bring anything with me?
Since you’ll be wearing a kabuto (helmet), your hairstyle may get a bit messy—so it’s a good idea to bring a brush or comb. Also, don’t forget your camera or smartphone! Feel free to snap plenty of photos and videos to capture all the fun memories!
