Kiyomizudera Temple photography

jiang Cheng is the best! She knows a lot of beautiful places to take pictures. Very professional and friendly. she waited for us to be finished for our kimono session. we are family of 4 so it takes time. we love her work for 30 minutes a lot of pictures and different poses with her own props. She also take our pictures at the Yasaka Pagoda so we are comfortable with her already. Highly recommended her!!! :)

incredible experience! i booked 30 minutes before and when i arrived everyone was super nice. i choose the simple kimono and had a lot to choose from. two really kind ladies helped me dress it and did my hair, i could choose for free one of three styles, and then i was able to acessorize the hair with pearls and some other acessories. during the day i felt really comfortable with the kimono and when i went back to the rental everyone was once again amazing, i stayed with the hairstyle and they even offered me a really sweet gift afterwards. i really recommend it!!!

We had a wonderful time, both during the preparations and the photoshoot. Kimono Fusengawa offers very beautiful kimonos with a wide selection, and the hairstyling was done with great skill. Our photographer guided us expertly during the session, and we are delighted with the result! We highly recommend them without reservation; the staff is lovely and very attentive!

store is easily locatable and very close to the bus stop. we had a lot of fun taking photos in the picturesque streets of kyoto

First I need to start by saying that this experience is incorrectly labelled. This only gets you the kimono rental (no tea ceremony, no photography). But we got a great deal on the tea ceremony when we were physically in the shop (and I wasn’t that fussed on a professional photographer anyways). But this was so much fun! We booked a couple and four children - and they really made it a wonderful experience. The tea ceremony was beautiful and very informative and then we had the whole day to explore Kyoto in our kimonos (we had a car so drove to the Bamboo Forrest and the Golden Pavilion to get some excellent photos in our traditional dress).

we had a wonderful experience at kanwa kimono rental store ! there was a good selection of kimono in the basic package and basic hairstyles were very beautiful with a good variety of hair accessories available :) the staff were top notch and went above and beyond to help us with our kimono and other concerns we had. staff is able to speak mandarin and functional english so communication was smooth and easy. will definitely recommand and check them out again :D

It's a little far from Kiyomizu Temple, but it's very convenient near Kyoto Station. Buses 86 and 206 are just across the intersection. The pick-up staff are very friendly and there is no problem in communication. There are many choices of styles and they will also provide good matching suggestions. The skills are very good. They quickly completed the dressing and hair and makeup, making the children very happy. Thank you very much. Ai Kimono gave us very happy memories.

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.
