Kyoto Kimono Rental Experience (Optional Elegant Hairstyle/Japanese Makeup/Photography) (Ookini Kimono Rental Yasaka Shrine Gion Store)

jiang Cheng is the best! She knows a lot of beautiful places to take pictures. Very professional and friendly. she waited for us to be finished for our kimono session. we are family of 4 so it takes time. we love her work for 30 minutes a lot of pictures and different poses with her own props. She also take our pictures at the Yasaka Pagoda so we are comfortable with her already. Highly recommended her!!! :)

they gave me a free upgraded hairstyle! thank you super live the pink kimono and the ruffles. location is good. near gion. we were there super early. then opened at 8:30 but we were accommodated as early as 8:15am.

Incredible experience, you have to try at least once! I had so much fun picking out the pieces for my kimono ! Upgrading the hairstyle cost $15aud and was worth it for our photoshoot. Steven (English photographer) was great at directing our poses and location for the shots. He was fun and passionate which definitely made it less awkward. Steven knew what poses work with our appearance and captured the idea we were aiming to achieve. However, be understanding of the facility as it is quite small and crammed with lots of people coming in for their appointments. The girl running the service bookings knows 3 languages which is incredible and she is super helpful and understanding. If you need help with picking out your kimono and accompanying pieces ask the ladies for some suggestions. Enjoy! love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️

I had such a great time!! My boyfriend and I both got the special offer on kimono deal and did the 30 minute photography which was amazing!! The staff are all so nice and amazing!! My boyfriend ended up proposing during the photoshoot and the photographer helped encapture the moment perfectly!! I 10 out of 10 reccommend this place if you’re looking for a kimono rental and photography!!

I had an amazing experience with Kyoto Kimono Rental. I wasn’t on time for my schedule because our gps brought us to the wrong place, yet when I finally got there, they were very understanding and accommodating. I love how the stylists was very proficient in what she does. My photographer husband and I loved how the photos came out.

This experience is one to remember! We had the best time. The staff were so patient and kind with recommendations. The styling team were so quick but so efficient. We walked around the area feeling like we were main characters. haha. People on the street greeted us with smiles looking at our outfits. Would definitely recommend for anyone on holiday in Kyoto! Thank you!

was an amazing experience, everyone was so lovely, it was super easy to find and right next to lots of temples and shrines! I didn’t need a map just walked around and found so many places to take photos! there was a large selection of beautiful kimonos, I opted for the lace ones which is extra I think but so amazing!

I had the most wonderful experience with Ookini Kimono rental Yasaka Shrine Gion for my kimono rental and photography session in Kyoto! From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive. The process was seamless, with plenty of beautiful kimono options to choose from. The fitting process was smooth and the staff took their time to make sure everything was perfectly in place, from the layers of the kimono to the accessories. The photography session itself was beyond my expectations. The photographer Paul was professional, patient, and knew exactly how to capture the beauty of Kyoto's iconic temples and gardens as the backdrop for the photos. They gave me great posing tips and made me feel very comfortable throughout the session. The final photos were absolutely stunning! I received a beautiful set of high-quality images that perfectly captured the essence of my time in Kyoto. It was truly a magical experience that I’ll cherish forever.
