Aiwafuku Arashiyama Togetsukyo Store: Popular Kimono Rental Experience. Tea ceremony & matcha making, makeup, and photo shoots are available as optional add-ons.

I originally booked for three adults at 1 pm and 2 pm time slots, but our earlier tour was cancelled, so we arrived almost 3 hours early just to ask about adding a hair set for our later appointments. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating. The male in our group changed his mind due to the heat, but because we already paid through Klook, the staff were unable to refund. Instead, they offered a free hair set and free sun parasols to take with us around Kyoto. They accommodated us right away, even though our reservation was for much later. They had tons of beautiful options to choose from, and they were extremely kind and caring. Most spoke English fluently and were patient with my broken Japanese. They even offer free photo props and background to use in their store. We were very happy with the entire shop and felt quite comfortable. Thank you so much!

I'm so happy with my kimono and hair reservation! There were so many types of kimonos, and most of them were beautiful! I chose a subtle kimono because I liked that style. There were also many hair options, so I went with the most popular one, number 3! The staff were all very kind, and they did my hair meticulously, so it stayed perfect all day! Also, it was very hot in June, but they had cool summer-material kimonos, so it wasn't as hot as it could have been! If I go to Kyoto again, I'd love to try a lace kimono! ❤️❤️ Highly recommend! Oh, and if you want to get a beautiful kimono, I recommend going in the morning! In the afternoon, there are a lot of people, so the pretty ones might go quickly!

For those coming by the Hankyu train, this shop is just by the riverside so it’s probably the most convenient. if you’re coming by JR train, you’ll pass by many kimono shops along the way. But we must say the quality of the fabrics from those shops (except Mocomoco) appeared inferior to our kimonos from this Aiwafuku shop. We’re very happy with the kimonos from this shop. their hairdo’s, hair accessories and choice of handbags were good too. Service was superb! Highly recommend them!

Extremely helpful staff. Janice has been so polite & kind in guiding me for all the steps. Hairstylist & the specialist helping me to put on my dress are pro!! If you are pregnant, they will pick you the right materials & tie it the right way for safety purpose. Loving it loads!!

It was an amazing experience! The girls are super sweet and kind and their kimono selection is great!

I recently used this rental service and overall, I had a wonderful experience. The location is a bit far, which means you need to walk a bit, but it was worth it. I opted for a yukata since it was summer, and the weather was quite hot. The yukata they provided was not only comfortable but also incredibly beautiful, with vibrant colors and intricate designs that made me feel special. Additionally, the hairstylist did an excellent job with my hair. They were meticulous and skilled, creating a hairstyle that perfectly complemented the yukata. It added an extra touch of elegance to my look, and I received many compliments throughout the day. The staff were friendly and professional, ensuring that I had everything I needed and that the fitting process was smooth and enjoyable. Despite the distance, the overall experience was positive and memorable. I would definitely recommend this rental service to others. The quality of the clothing and the exceptional hairstyling make it a great choice for anyone looking to rent a yukata or other traditional attire. Booking here is definitely worth it for the excellent service and the beautiful results.

The tea ceremony was so fun and interesting. We were guided through the traditional method of matcha making and enjoyed sweets and matcha.

Amazing service and friendly team, able to communicate well, and the a lot of choices of Kimono and accessories.

The ladies were so kind and welcoming, they helped my daughter husband and I to choose our kimono, yukata, offering suggestions when asked. The were so talented and made us look and feel beautiful. we got lots of compliments as we walked round aryishima and even sent some new customers their way.

A fantastic and inclusive experience! The selection of kimonos and accessories is extensive and stunning. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made the whole process enjoyable. As a Muslim visitor, I was especially grateful that the rental is in the same building as a prayer room, eliminating any stress about finding a place to pray. I highly recommend this place to everyone!
