Shichi-Go-San in Los Angeles | Kimono Rental, Photoshoot & Shrine Visit

Shichi-Go-San in Los Angeles is a meaningful celebration for families.　

If you are wondering, “Is it too late to prepare?” — the answer is No. There is still time.

In Los Angeles, many families contact us just before Shichi-Go-San.
Please feel free to reach out — even if you are still thinking about it.

<Shichi-Go-San Blessing (2025)>

Shichi-Go-San blessings will be held again this year at the following temples in Little Tokyo:

Koyasan Beikoku Betsuin
http://www.koyasanbetsuin.org/

Zenshuji Soto Mission
https://www.zenshuji.org/

Blessing Date: Sunday, November 9

If you would like to celebrate this cultural milestone together as a family, this is a beautiful opportunity.

<Photoshoots Can Be Done Any Time of the Year>

Unlike Japan, where Shichi-Go-San is traditionally in autumn,
in Los Angeles, many families choose a date that:

• works with school schedules
• matches visiting relatives’ travel dates
• fits with siblings’ ages

The best day is the day that works for your family.

<Kachou-kimono’s Shichi-Go-San Support>

Kachou-kimono is now in our 9th year of kimono rental and Shichi-Go-San support in Los Angeles.
We offer full support:

• Kimono rental for children & parents
• Hair styling (children & mothers)
• Dressing (kitsuke)
• On-site assistance during photoshoots

We work gently and patiently so your child feels comfortable and can enjoy the day.

<Locations>

We provide both indoor studio sessions and outdoor photo sessions.
Outdoor locations allow for natural expressions and relaxed movement, which many families love.

We will help you choose a location based on your preference and outfit.

<What to Prepare for Your Child>

• Comfy shoes for walking (Crocs, sneakers) — we switch to zori only for photos
• A favorite stuffed toy or small item — these make memories extra sweet
• Small snacks for breaks
  (Avoid blue lollipops & chocolate → they color the mouth.
  Gummy snacks are perfect.)

<This Day Is Special>

Shichi-Go-San is not just about photos.
It is a moment to quietly celebrate your child’s growth and your family’s journey together.

I would be honored to help make your day warm, memorable, and beautiful.
