Oiran Experience with Photo Shoot (Kyoto)

I really enjoyed my experience and will do it again the next time I am in Kyoto. I think its a great price for the costumes, makeup and photoshoot. you pay extra for each image you want edited and they will email it to you within 2 weeks. if you have time and want a unique souvenir and experience, do this. its worth your time and money. staff are patient and friendly. they will use google translate to communicate with you.

I wanted to try this makeover for a long time and I’m happy I finally did! The staff is very nice and friendly so the whole makeover and photo shoot went smoothly.

01/27/2026 10am: Amazing experience! Every staff member was so nice and friendly! Hair, make up, and dressing was done in a quick and efficient manner! The photographer was amazing! She's made me feel so comfortable and was an excellent guide for posing. She's made my pictures come out so nice and professional. Highly recommended activity!

They were very nice and helpful as English speakers. just like all the reviews , they do charge per photo and then there’s many upgrades for hair, eyelashes and outfit changes. we did an upgrade with the hair piece and it was worth it. I would say if you’re doing a couples shoot, get a couple of men’s photos. we got 5 to choose from and would have liked more options. Absolutely on me to have asked, they were so kind and would’ve helped me. overall , it was a lovely choice. 2 blocks away from Kyoto Tower and on the third floor of a building. can’t wait to get my pictures , they would take about 2 weeks but we did get about 5 minutes to take selfies on our phones so those are the ones I’m sharing here.

The staff is very friendly, and there were plenty of laughs! ☺️ You fill out a form where they show you pictures of the services they offer, so it can be better adapted to your liking (clothing, hairstyle, makeup, etc.). And if you don't know how to pose, they guide you. Afterward, they let you view and choose the photos, which will be sent by email in a reasonable time. In addition, once the photo session is over, they give you a little while to take selfies with the outfits and makeup. Highly recommended, whether you're alone or with company!!

Fun experience. There are add ons for the experience, I did the nails, & eyelashes. They were able to talk with a translator so communicating is easy. They were able to style my hair, so I think that was a plus. The photographer posed us (my husband & I) & spoke little English, but she was super sweet & patient with us. I recommend this experience. I chose to buy all the photos, but I think it was priced fairly overall. The photos were sent via email the next day.

I had the opportunity to experience the service specifically the package that included makeup, wardrobe and the photo shoot as oiran. Overall, the experience was positive, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The staff was friendly and service was prompt, even though communication was mainly limited to Japanese. Although this did not significantly affect the experience, it is something to consider for those who do not speak the language. The makeup and clothes were notable strong points of the experience. The makeup artist achieved an authentic and artistic look, while the costumes were impressive in detail and design. However, it is important to mention that there were additional charges for a special hairstyle, something that was not clear initially. Additionally, to obtain all photos from the session, an additional payment is required. This could be a factor to consider when planning your budget for the experience. Despite these details, the quality of the photographs was remarkable, and the photographer effectively captured the essence of the session. The images were beautiful and well executed. All in all, the experience at the photography studio was mostly positive, with friendly staff, stunning clothing, and quality photos. However, it is important to keep potential additional charges in mind when planning your experience.

Beautiful experience, the girls were very kind, they did a great job with the makeup, and the photos are gorgeous. If you don't know how to pose, the photographer tells you exactly what to do, and the photos turn out incredible. I 100% recommend this experience.

Incredible experience. All the staff members were very nice. Sirjana is a very talented makeup artist, I never felt so beautiful ! I highly recommend. Please be aware that the photos are not included in the price, but they have very resonable prices and packages. It’s a souvenir worth every penny. expérience:

The staff is so friendly and able to communicate with foreigners well. The access is very convenient and near the kyoto station.
