A stunning selection of high-quality kimonos to choose from! The staff at the shop were incredibly friendly and helpful, patiently guiding us in selecting and matching the perfect combinations. The experience was relaxed, with no sense of being rushed, making the process truly enjoyable. Most importantly, the shop was impeccably clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort and quality of the visit. Will recommend to anyone looking for a pleasant kimono experience.

Location was easy to find and the staffs were all really friendly. Wide varieties of Kimonos to choose from, totally recommend for everyone to give them a try when you’re in Kyoto and wanting to rent kimonos. Loved our experienced there!

First of all, even though I arrived a little late, they welcomed me really, really kindly ㅜㅜ To be honest, I'm really shy, and it was my first time renting traditional clothing in a foreign country, so I was a little nervous. But thanks to them smiling and making me feel comfortable, I was able to relax a lot! It was fun because they even made small talk with me in easy words while I was putting on the clothes ㅎㅎ I paid 1,000 yen more and asked them to do a half-up hairstyle, and I was so satisfied because they did it so beautifully!! They even gave me a scarf for free, which was touching... 🥺 My friends who went with me also said that the staff were really kind and nice!! I think I'll come here again next time I wear a kimono ㅎㅎ

i recommend to go for this kimono rental place since it’s cheaper compared to others. however, note that you need to add on if you want preetier designs. you get what you paid but overall im happy with it and take the earlier slots for more options 😘
