Kyoto Cultural experiences

My family and I rented kimonos and paid extra for pictures taken by a photographer that they provided. The kimonos were beautiful and the pictures came out really nice. 100% will recommend and I will suggest to pay extra for pictures because the memories are what matters the most and to have something beautiful to remember is worth every. Also, the staff was very helpful in picking the kimonos, helping us put it on and picking the perfect hairstyle that went well with the kimono each of us picked.

One of the BEST experiences of our Japan trip! From arrival, everyone was kind, patient and welcoming. We were three generations: my mom, me and my 4-year-old daughter, and they found matching kimonos for ALL of us! My mom and I are plus-size, and we had beautiful options without needing the ¥5,000 celebratory upgrade. They even had my daughter’s size and gave her a sweet little add-on. We also booked the 60-minute photography session directly through the kimono shop, and DO IT! 📸 Our photographer was amazing. He posed and directed us, chose beautiful locations, and captured individual, mother-daughter and three-generation photos. It was HOT, we needed restroom breaks, and we had a 4-year-old, but he was incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed. Just LOOK at these photos! We left with more than vacation pictures; we have family keepsakes we’ll treasure forever. 👘💕

We had such an amazing experience during our Kyoto photoshoot. From the beginning, Mr. Kai made us feel comfortable and guided us naturally through every pose, which helped us enjoy the moment instead of worrying about the camera. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful — every shot captured the atmosphere of Kyoto, the details of our outfits, and the emotions of the day perfectly.

My second-grade son recently became interested in sumo, so we booked a sumo experience and visited. It was close to the station and easy to find. Mr. Ryu and Mr. Kai's demonstrations were excellent, and the explanation of sumo history was very informative. My son absolutely loved the chance to compete against the sumo wrestlers at the end! He was the only child among the participants, and they raised his hand as the champion at the end, which made him incredibly happy! :) There were many foreigners, so the explanations were given in fluent English. However, as a Korean who is more comfortable with Japanese than English, I thought it would be great if the historical explanations were also available in other languages, like Korean, or even just in Japanese! Anyway, we had a wonderful time, and it was a valuable experience that was well worth the money! :)

This was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Tokyo! My driver, Renu, was amazing: skilled, friendly, and totally in control as we slid around corners. The adrenaline rush was unreal, but I always felt safe in her hands. She also shared great stories about Japan's car culture, which made the ride even more fun. If you love cars or just want a thrill, book this and ask for Renu. Highly recommend!

The experience was fun for the whole family. It wasn't too difficult to shave the wood, even for my 8 yr old. We chose Sugi, Walnut, Sakura, and Purple Heart. Victor K. was very helpful, professional, and patient. He provided clear instructions and helpful hints to make the beautiful chopsticks. You can tell he truly enjoys the craft of making chopsticks. The personalized engraving was a fun extra we all loved.

Had a wonderful experience at the store! Majo was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. She made everything easy and pleasant, and her excellent customer service truly stood out. The store was also clean, organized, and had a great selection. Highly recommended! Thank you, Majo! 💖 We love you so much 😍😍

Fantastic experience. Not only was the show incredibly entertaining but it was also very informative and educational regarding the history of Rikishi. 100% recommended.

THIS WAS FANTASTIC! Not only was it affordable but it was funny, taught us so much and allowed my husband to step back into the ring even for a few seconds! An amazing time and I will definitely be recommending this experience to my clients and followers!
