Omiyamairi (Newborn Shrine Visit) Points Guide｜Photos, Kimono Rental & Gifts via Cashback
Omiyamairi, the shrine visit celebrating a baby's birth, is an event that brings together cashback-friendly spending — booking commemorative photos, renting the ceremonial kimono for grandparents or a baby dress, and preparing celebration money and gifts. Just routing through a point site before booking a session or rental earns cashback. The keys: book the photo studio via a point site, rent the kimono/baby dress via routing, pay for celebrations and gifts with a cashback method, and compare cost across several studios. This guide covers omiyamairi points. See the Shichi-Go-San & Photos Guide, the Photo Studio Guide, and the Kimono Rental Guide.

Omiyamairi Points: Steps
- ① Book the photo studio via a point siteRoute through a point site before booking the omiyamairi photo session. Check offers on Pointnavi. See the Photo Studio Guide. The date is set around one month after birth, so book early.
- ② Rent the kimono / baby dress via routingThe baby's ceremonial robe, the grandparents' or parents' kimono, and a baby dress can also be routing-eligible rentals. Renting instead of buying keeps costs down. See the Kimono Rental Guide.
- ③ Pay for celebrations and gifts with a cashback methodPay with a cashback method for the celebration meal, thanks to grandparents, and return-gift prep. Tap Payment Guide, Expiry Prevention Guide.
- ④ Compare cost and plans across studiosThe session fee, data fee, album, and whether kimono rental is included differ by studio. Including on-location shoots and studios near the shrine, compare on the total (data included).
The core of omiyamairi points is the combo of "routing cashback on session booking/rentals + payment cashback on celebrations and gifts." Since the date is set around one month after birth, locking in the booking and rental via routing early keeps things calm. But the real reward is wishing for the baby's healthy growth and celebrating as a family. Choose a studio not just on a cheap session fee but on how data is delivered (all data included?), add-on fees, costume range, and how they handle babies. The visit itself usually means offering hatsuhoryo (from a few thousand yen) at the shrine. Treat routing and payment cashback purely as something you "pick up alongside the keepsakes and celebration you were having anyway." Don't overshoot on photos or purchases — enjoy it within a memorable, comfortable range.
Cautions
- Book early since the date is set: Omiyamairi is roughly one month after birth. Popular studios and weekends fill up, so lock in the session booking and rental via routing early. Keep flexibility to shift the day for the baby's condition or weather.
- Compare studios on the total (data included): A cheap session fee can turn pricey if data, album, and kimono rental are extra. Compare on the total — whether all data is included, add-on fees, and costume range.
- Keep costs down with rentals: The ceremonial robe, the grandparents'/parents' kimono, and a baby dress are easy to rent. Buying is costly and worn rarely. See the Kimono Rental Guide.
- Don't forget to route / consolidate points: Bookings, rentals, and purchases earn nothing without routing through a point site. Use earned points within their validity. Expiry Prevention Guide.
