Изживяване с наем на кимоно в Киото (с опция за изискана прическа/японски грим/фотография) (Ookini Kiyomizu-dera Main Store)

We had a great experience with this kimono rental service! As two friends visiting Kyoto, we booked the 10:00 AM slot and were a little concerned after reading some comments about it being crowded. While it was busy, it was much more organized than some reviews suggested, and everything ran smoothly. Visitors should expect the full process (choosing a kimono, getting dressed, selecting accessories, and having their hairstyle done) to take around 1 hour, especially during busy times. We felt this was completely reasonable given everything that is included. My friend wanted to wear a men's kimono, and the staff were very accommodating. Although her first color choice was unavailable in her size, they quickly suggested an alternative that she was very happy with. They were also able to do a hairstyle with my short hair, which I really appreciated. A special thank you to the staff member who seemed to be in charge. She was very efficient and gave excellent advice throughout the process.

We had a wonderful time during this photo shoot experience! It was our first professional photo shoot, and as two friends, we weren't sure what to expect, but everything was very comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. The location was excellent: a small, beautiful temple area with very few people around, which made the experience feel peaceful and special. The photographer gave simple and clear instructions for posing, which was especially helpful since we were complete beginners. We never felt awkward and were able to relax and have fun throughout the session. We are very happy with the original photos, which felt natural and captured the experience perfectly. The retouched photos (attached) were nice as well, especially with improvements such as the lighting, but we personally preferred many of the original shots because they felt more natural to us. Overall, this was a memorable experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for professional photos in Kyoto!

my husband & I booked this trip 1 day before we go. we depart in Kyoto & get off in Osaka. it was amazing experience with great tour guide (Anson), good time to experiences many cultured places in Kyoto. we had registered for kimono rental in advanced, & our tour guide has guided us very well to try on in 1 location & drop off in another location. this is 10/10 exprerience for us!

Резервирахме аз и сестра ми за наем на кимоно и прическа. Магазинът беше изключително натоварен, но персоналът беше толкова любезен, въпреки че закъсняхме малко за часа си. Персоналът беше изключително отзивчив, особено когато трябваше да изберем как да съчетаем всички аксесоари с кимоното (тъй като може да е малко объркващо с всички опции). Аз и сестра ми си прекарахме страхотно, определено бихме го направили отново!

I had the best experience with them. They gave me enough suggestions on which type of kimonos and obis would look good on me. They also assisted my husband with his Yakuta. The staff was super friendly inspite of being so busy. They gave me a couple of options for hairstyles and the final one turned out to be so beautiful. I would also want to give a special mention to photographer Paul, who clicked such beautiful pictures and guided us with poses and what to do throughout the entire process. Even the unedited photos were so pretty.

The shop was easy to find and had many kimono options. The staff were very helpful, with teams for welcoming guests, dressing in kimono, and doing hair and makeup. It was raining, but they gave us umbrellas. The only issue was the kimono shoes—they were not comfortable, so you can wear your own shoes if you prefer. There were also many other different accessories and props to choose from.

If I could give more stars to this I would. Gene was my photographer and he did an above and beyond job handling the shoot, making me feel at ease and making each shot a work of art. Do yourself a favor and book it! It's a once in a lifetime thing and it's so worth it!

absolutely brilliant and beautiful experience made granddaughter feel so special and added to experience of visiting Japan for the first time English speaking ladies at shop although a bit chaotic when first coming inside surprisingly they have everything under control and are right onto it all organising you and helping you get ready experience: fantastic equipment: beautiful instructor: very knowledgeable and helpful we paid extra for photographer for one hour which I highly recommend made the whole experience so much better with these beautiful memories to keep

Staff were very patient, professional, courteous and organised. even if there were a lot of customers, they still managed to help us out from picking the costume to dŕessing up and hairstyling. everyone was nice. i will come back to this shop again. ookini has cute kimonos and kawaii hairstyles and they have premium, elegant kimonos as well! the manager gave us the best photographer Gene and his photos were amazing, even when raw. it was difficult to find only 12 for enhancement because all the photos were beautiful! Gene was very patient, helpful, creative and went above and beyond to assist and guide us and put us at ease.if we do another photoshoot, we'll request Gene again and will definitely rent from ookini again. thanks ookini and Gene for a hassle free, and memorable experience!

Hoenstly one of the best activities in Japan! We booked it 1.5 hours before closing and I honestly wished we booked it for longer because there is so much to do in this area - shops, restaturants and temples. The service was fast, efficient and allowed me to learn more about japanese kimono culture. The staff speaks good english as well. I felt really pretty in the kimono however the traditional slippers may be a bit uncomfortable to go around with.
