Reviews
I apologize for the late review, I was so busy after my trip ㅠㅠ! First of all, it was my first time trying on a kimono, so I looked around a lot, and this place had the best cost-effectiveness and service among the places where couples could do it. It was also easy to find because it was on the way to Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto. I looked up all the reviews of other people and visited, and luckily, there was a kimono that I wanted to try on that I had seen in the reviews, so I was able to try it on right away, which was the best thing. There were so many different kinds of kimonos and so many pretty kimonos, and they waited even though it took me a long time to choose, and when I only chose the kimono and told them the colors and styles I wanted, they chose the perfect one for me. They kept asking me if I was okay and if there was anything uncomfortable during the dressing process, which was nice. If you write a Klook review, you can choose a prettier hairstyle. They were so talented that a really pretty hairstyle was completed quickly! My boyfriend was watching from the side and said it was pretty, and he was surprised at how fast the owner's hands were. Thank you for decorating it with various decorations that matched the pink, wistful, and innocent feel that I wanted. They also lent me a bag and shoes and kept my changed clothes safe, so I had a great time in Kyoto. It was a really satisfying kimono experience. Thank you :)
It’s the best experience wearing kimono for me. the staffs are so nice and helpful. you can try colors and matching until you are sure. they don’t rush and suggest the style if we have no idea. The price might more than other places but the quality is very good and suitable for the price.
Very professional studio with beautiful kimonos 😊 Ladies were very polite and helped to choose the right kimono, there were different colors and fabrics to choose from. They also made a beautiful hairstyle with pretty accessories. I highly recommend this place!
I highly recommend this place when renting a kimono, the staff are really sweet and the whole thing is a low/good price while providing a hairstyle, hair piece, sandals and a bag with a lot of variety. overall we had a really great experience and I definitely recommend
I really recommend it!! I got the subway pass pick-up place wrong and was 30 minutes late, but they didn't say anything and kindly guided me. There were many kinds of yukatas, and the staff were very professional, so it only took 30 minutes to put on the yukata and do my hair. They also did my hair really nicely and fixed it well, so it didn't get messy even though I ran around all day. They also provided everything from the yukata to hair accessories, bags, and clogs, without any additional charges, within the amount I paid, and they even gave me a plastic bag to put my shoes in. Also, when I said I wanted to change the color of my obi, they untied my original obi and replaced it with the new color, even though it was a hassle. The staff were so kind and professional that I felt good even before the trip started, and thanks to them, I was able to take a lot of pretty pictures throughout the trip! Next time I go to Kyoto, I will rent a yukata here. I highly recommend this place for yukata rentals!!
We had a wonderful experience renting kimonos in Kyoto during our honeymoon. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding us through the process of selecting and fitting our kimonos with great care and attention to detail. The range of kimonos available was impressive, with beautiful fabrics and designs that allowed us to feel truly immersed in the traditional Japanese culture. The fitting process was smooth, and the staff ensured that each kimono was adjusted perfectly for comfort and style. Walking through Kyoto in our kimonos was a magical experience. The traditional attire added a special touch to our visit, making the day even more memorable. We received many compliments from locals and other tourists, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this kimono rental service to anyone visiting Kyoto. It was a highlight of our honeymoon, providing us with beautiful memories and a deeper connection to the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
We was late by 40 minutes but they didn’t mind at all, the staff is also really friendly and fun to talk to, they know English but they don’t mind if you mess up your Japanese a little bit around them and usually they laugh it off.
I'm so glad I found a kimono shop that I really like! Everyone's reviews were good so I had high expectations, but the owner and staff were really kind beyond my expectations, so I was able to happily choose and prepare my clothes. First of all, even though it's just basic hair, they do it really nicely, and they're also very fast and can make hair accessories as much as you want. They also recommend clothes well, so I'm really satisfied!!!
They had a beautiful selection of kimonos although I did upgrade my rental. Both ladies who dressed us were very kind and friendly. They really put great efforts into dressing us perfectly.
The staff are truly excellent and accommodating throughout the whole experience. Skilful and very much recommended for their service and energy. Truly appreciated!
