Oiran experience with photo shoot (Kyoto)

I loved my experience with this photo shoot! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire process, especially when helping me choose everything from the background and wardrobe to my hairstyle. I was so impressed with how beautifully my hair was styled, and the photographer did an amazing job guiding me through poses that made me feel elegant and confident. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. 10/10! I would definitely come back for another shoot. Thank you so much to the entire staff! 🙏🏽

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!

One of the best experiences I've ever had in Kyoto! 🥰 The service is top-notch! From the time I entered the studio till the end, all the staff were very helpful, and I'm extremely happy with how the photos turned out. 🤍🤍 Thank you and see you next time! 🤗

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 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.

Overall, I loved the experience, and the photos turned out amazing! The staff were also extremely kind and attentive (and patient with my indecisiveness, haha). The poses are guided, and the photographer helps if you have any difficulty with something, in addition to doing an excellent job with the photos! It's important to note that you should prepare more money beyond the reservation if you want more ornaments or additions, and to buy the photos separately, but for me, it was totally worth it!

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.

I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life ✨ One note is that in post, they did smooth out my face a lot and removed every distinguishable feature I have. Of course, not everyone would be upset by that and it's a minor thing, but I do miss my imperfections a little. You can make it as cheap or expensive as you want. Note that every single picture you want, you have to buy. There is no price change between edited or unedited (sadly) which I would've liked. Everyone was really kind and patient with me and I really recommend this place to do Oiran~

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:

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.
