My wife and I booked the kimono rental here today. There was a large and beautiful selection of various kimonos. Although it was quite crowded, everything worked out in the end, and everyone was very friendly. However, choosing and getting dressed took a little longer than originally expected. We were also completely satisfied with the selection of kimonos, including the accessories. My wife's hair turned out very nicely as well. Afterwards, we had also booked a photoshoot, which was very satisfactory. Our photographer Momo was great, too. Thanks again for everything!

We loved dress up and having the tea ceremony. We could choose our own Kimono, had our hair done and looked gorgeous for the session. I had the support from Thao, who were kind and supportive and accommodating my needs. At the cerimony, our instructor were knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. We had the whole day wearing the Kimono exploring the city and temples around. Super recommend!

I spontaneously decided to try on a kimono, and when I saw the great price for this shop on Klook, I booked it. The location is excellent, near Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The kimonos were authentic, high quality, and very clean. The hairstyling was well done; it's impressive that such an intricate hairstyle could be completed in about 10 minutes, showing real expertise. I'm very satisfied. I wish them continued success in their business.

We had a wonderful experience! The staff were incredibly nice, friendly, and accommodating from start to finish. They were very patient, helpful, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Claiming the voucher was quick and easy, which made everything hassle-free.
There was also a great variety of kimonos to choose from, with many beautiful styles and designs available. However, what truly made our experience memorable was how kind and accommodating the staff were. Their excellent customer service made everything smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended! 😊

You can wear a beautiful kimono even with the basic options, so go early and choose well, haha! All the staff are very kind, and they meticulously styled my hair even with the basic option! They also rented out parasols, fans, bags, and shoes! It would have been terrible without a parasol because of the heat. My feet did hurt after wearing the shoes for a long time, so I returned them after four hours...^^ There's nothing that can be done about the shoes themselves, so if you need them, bring your own sneakers or just wear the shoes you came in instead of renting. Kimonos are a bit hot from mid-May onwards. Please keep that in mind! Anyway, I traveled alone and had a great time taking pictures in a beautiful outfit~*^^* The clothes were pretty and affordable, and the staff were friendly, haha! Highly recommended. They also recommended an obi that perfectly matched the kimono design, which was wonderful ☺️☺️❤️

I booked a 1-day tour of Kyoto and Nara during my trip to Osaka. Traveling by bus, our guide, Oh Seok-bong, gave great explanations at each attraction, which made the sightseeing much more enriching and helped me create wonderful memories. He also told us many fun stories on the bus while we traveled! Plus, he shared several great local restaurants in Osaka. Thanks to him, I successfully finished my one-day tour of Kyoto and Nara. Also, everyone on the tour respected the schedule, so we were able to move smoothly without any delays ^^

This trip to Kyoto was truly an amazing experience! 🥰
A special thank you to our tour guide, David, who was extremely attentive and patient throughout the entire journey. Not only did he seamlessly switch between Chinese and English for his explanations, but he also provided detailed introductions to the history, culture, and unique features of each attraction. This ensured we didn't just passively sightsee, but genuinely understood the stories behind every place.
Throughout the trip, he thoughtfully reminded everyone of important details, and the itinerary was so smoothly arranged that we felt completely at ease and relaxed.
This journey allowed us to enjoy Kyoto's beautiful scenery while gaining a wealth of cultural knowledge and wonderful memories. I am so grateful to have had such a professional and dedicated tour guide!
I highly recommend this tour, and thank you, David, for helping us create such unforgettable memories of Kyoto! ❤️

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.

What to know about Kiyomizudera Temple
Kiyomizu Temple, also known as the 'Pure Water Temple,' is one of the most visited temples in Kyoto, Japan. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 and built to honor Kannon, the goddess of mercy, Kiyomizu Temple or Kiyomizudera is famous for its iconic wooden stage extending 13 meters over the hillside. From here, you can see breathtaking views of cherry blossoms in spring, colorful maple trees in fall, and Kyoto's cityscape. Inside the main hall, marvel at the statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. This popular site in Kyoto is a tribute to tranquility, offering panoramic views of the city and valley below.

Must-Visit Attractions at Kiyomizu Temple
Butai (Kiyomizu's Wooden Stage)
Discover the extraordinary wooden stage complex of Kiyomizu-dera, showcasing 168 pillars and providing breathtaking vistas of Kyoto. Crafted without the use of nails, this architectural wonder symbolizes pure traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Three Story Pagoda
Be amazed by the majestic three-story pagoda, one of Japan's tallest, full of intricate details and symbolic elements that tell the story of the temple's rich history and cultural importance.
Bell Tower
Visit the colorful bell tower surrounded by chrysanthemum flowers and rich history. Make sure to visit on New Year's Eve, where you can see the bell-ringing ceremony, a symbolic ritual that marks the passage of time.
Jishu Shrine
Jisu Shrine is devoted to the deity of love and matchmaking. Located in front of the shrine are two stones set 18 meters apart. Legend has it that going from one stone to the other with closed eyes brings luck in love. Alternatively, having someone assist you on this journey signifies the need for a mediator in your romantic endeavors.
Otowa Waterfall
Located at the base of Kiyomizudera's main hall, discover the Otowa Waterfall. The waterfall cascades into three streams, where you can use the long-poled cups to sip from each. Each stream is believed to offer distinct blessings---longevity, academic triumph, and luck in love. Though getting from all three streams is viewed as excessive.
