Reviews
From my first experience, I was very surprised. The staff was very professional, even though there were a lot of customers, but they still organized the kimono selection and clothing arrangement systematically and quickly. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to wear a kimono. I hope everyone gets to try this great experience. #ThaiPeopleInJapan
Carmen is very friendly and helpful, she own the place and is making sure customer is comfortable and satisfied, she helps every single customer with patience, giving them due attention and personal recommendation, she is awesome! Carmen introduced to the outstanding one of a kind photographer Gene who took awesomely perfect pictures for almost all of the shots, he knew how to take the correct angle and the most suitable pose and he worked very fast and efficient yet in very friendly manner
Such a great experience he knew all the great spots and poses! I had an amazing time and all the photos were great
great photos and on time. highly reccomended.. experience: location: experience: instructor:
Simply amazing! Not only did I get my hair done for free, but they took really great pictures in a place where there were endless crowds of people. I really hadn't expected that. I'm very impressed with Livia.
Livia was great and very patient. I let her lead with locations for the photos and she picked some excellent and quiet spots that I would never have come up with. She asked if there was a type of photo I was after and if I prefered photos from one side more than the other. She had a parasol and fan with her as props. She gave guidance on how to pose which I found really helpful.
We had a wonderful photography session, it was a pleasant day with wonderful sunshine and an amazing photographer. Truly professional, she gave directions on poses and angles making sure we get the best of ourselves. The photos came out so great. experience: instructor: safety: location: equipment:
We met at Ookini Kimono Rental where it is encouraged to rent Kimonos prior to the photoshoot. They have beautiful Kimonos on display! We chose however to wear our own clothes because we have limited time, not enough to change. You can borrow props such as katana, fan, umbrellas for FREE! Livya, our photographer brought us to a nearby, non-touristy temple to avoid the crowd. She directs how we will pose in front of the camera. All raw photos are amazing and are "posting-ready"! She shared the google drive folder so that we can choose photos for enhancement. All in all it was a wonderful experience.
absolutely loved the photos, we haven’t gotten our edited photos yet (just sent our chosen 12 photos) but it was such a great experience. Photographsr was great and we really appreciated that he spoke English and was able to suggest restaurants and things to do!
Once again, I had the beautiful photographer Kuriya take my picture. Her professional guidance, combined with the beautiful scenery of Kyoto, will make you fall in love with wearing a kimono!
