Kyoto Kimono Rental - Traditional Kimono Experience & Japanese Makeup & Photography Service (Provided by Okimono-ya Kiyomizu Store)

We were the first guests to arrive for our 9:30 AM reservation, but we got to the shop at 9:20 AM. The ladies at the front desk were incredibly kind and spoke Chinese. Since we arrived early, we were able to start choosing our kimonos and sashes right away, and then head upstairs for styling. The Japanese stylists on the second floor who helped with dressing, makeup, and hair were also very friendly. The kimonos available were all super beautiful, with various fabrics, making it so hard to choose! The lady on the first floor also helped us pair the perfect sash and accessories, and her aesthetic sense was spot on. (Plus, the stylist on the second floor was super fast; my hair was done in no time!) Overall, it was quick and professional, and the experience was excellent. If we ever come back to Kiyomizu-dera, we'll definitely visit again!

A very lovely experience! You can choose from many beautiful kimonos and hairstyles. They help you, and you can keep it until 5 PM. I highly recommend it! 🫶🏻🥰🩵👘

Absolutely loved my experience with the whole team! Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the entire process. There were so many beautiful kimonos to choose from, and the staff did a wonderful job helping me pick one that suited me. The dressing and hair styling were also done so nicely and efficiently, and I never felt rushed. The whole experience was smooth, fun, and honestly one of the highlights of my trip. You can really tell that the staff care about making their customers feel beautiful and comfortable. I would definitely rent from them again on my next trip to Kyoto. 🥰🥰🥰

This was my first time experiencing a kimono in Kyoto, and the entire process exceeded my expectations 🥹🤍. From selecting the kimono and getting dressed to the styling, everyone was so attentive. Once I put it on, I really felt like I instantly blended right into the Kyoto streetscape 🎐. I also added on the photography service this time, and I highly recommend it! The photographer was great at guiding poses and angles, so you don't have to worry about not knowing how to pose 📷✨. I ended up with so many photos that I truly love, and it gave this trip to Kyoto an extra special, precious memory.

I just came here yesterday, and to say the service was great is an understatement. The front employees are very well versed in English which makes the process of choosing the kimono very simple, and they are really friendly and made me feel very welcomed. I also want to give props to the ladies upstairs who help you change into the kimono. Despite the language barrier and my minuscule understanding of Japanese, I could tell they made an effort to make you feel very pretty and compliment you as well :) Thank you for much for the amazing experience Okimono and I look forward to coming back again in the future!

Kimono rental turned out to be a perfect experience that made my day and left me with wonderful memories. staff was friendly and helpful from beginning to end. After being greeted and confirming reservation, I was handed a bag to use as I picked out my kimono and accessories. There was staff at each step to help match colors and make sure I got all the items needed. After selecting all my pieces it was upstairs to change and get hair done. I’ve never had someone help me change into such a complicated outfit so quickly, but it happened here. And my hair look beautiful and refined despite it taking the stylist only 15 minute to do. Overall look ended up beyond my expectations. Advice: choose the earliest time slot you can. streets start getting crowded by 10/10:30ish making taking photos and walking hard. If you’re body shy wear shorts and sports bra or tank top you can wear under the kimono; there are no private dressing rooms. Go with premium: you get extra options for the accessories that are worth it.

The hair style is very beautiful, there are many kimono styles to choose from, and the overall combination is very satisfying👍. Thanks to the staff here for their kind service. The weather is a bit too hot this time, so you should choose a yukata + clogs, otherwise you may get a bit of a heat stroke while wearing a kimono🥵.

amazing experience! beautiful variety of kimonos and accessories, super friendly and fast staff, felt super comfortable around them, the hairstyle was lovely done and stay on the whole day. made my Japan trip unforgettable 🤍🇯🇵

highly recommended. 和服款式很多有不同顏色。 職員好提貼professional地给意見如何配搭。Hairstylist 同樣非常professional 幫我哋裝扮得好美。 時間充裕。

Beautiful kimonos and talented women to help you put them on. Then they do your hair and makeup in traditional and formal styles. The fabrics and options are amazing and we loved how we looked when we were finished! Photos near a temple and we were so proud to honor this tradition.
