Amazing Cosplay Experience - Very friendly staff, and super fun experience. The makeup and photo work are both very nice. If you like cosplay and are in the area, this is definitely a must. My only recommendation is to bring your own costume and wig since there is a limited selection of characters to choose from.

Great chance to cosplay in Shinjuku - My guide Cherry was wonderful! I got photos in multiple locations around the area, and on the venue. There were lots of people checking out the window on a Friday night so if you want an audience, go late in the evening. During the makeup the artist researched pictures of the character and asked for my preferences, and made sure I was happy with the look. Note! If you're not familiar with cosplay makeup, it can look extreme before you put on the wig and the costume. It will look good in the end so don't be scared. During the photos, both my guide and the photographer guided my poses and they researched fitting character poses. I took my own costume and wig, which is a great option for cosplayers who want so show off their own costumes!

Fun and Enjoyable Cosplay Experience - Really fun to have experience even as a cosplayer! We don’t need to bring our make up. They have professional to help apply make up. We were able to take pictures around the area before sitting on the roof to wave at the crowd. We chose to cosplay MaoMao and Jinshi from Apothecary Diaries.

Cool cosplay experience - It was very fun! Staff was very fun to talk to, theres always a translator and the makeup artists are cosplayers themselves <3 It was rainy and cold that day but that made the pictures look more magical I cosplayed hatsune miku :D

Definetly do this if you get the chance - It was an amazing experience! Crossed off my bucket list and would 100% do it again! The staff was so kind and efficient! I brought my own cosplay, with an unstyled wig and Yan, the cosplay makeup artist, had styled the wig so fast and so well! 10/10 would do again

Sailor Moon at Shinjuku Ale - This was the best! Everyone was so nice and the makeup was absolutely killer. They all made me feel so comfortable and getting to sit at the famed window while people walked by was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

So much fun! <3 - Such a fun experience! Loved sitting in the window, waving at everyone walking past. I used their Sailor Moon costume, make up services and photographer. The staff were all lovely. They edited and sent 20 photos to download that same evening. Would definitely do it again next time I'm in Tokyo <3

Phenomenal cosplay experience - The services provided by the team were simply fantastic. Having cosplay experience of my own, I brought my own cosplay, and the make-up artist had done an excellent job doing the make-up that best suited the character. The wide array of photo locations that the photographer had brought me to is also second to none.
