Things to do in Daimaru Kyoto

We had such a wonderful time at the ramen-making class in Kyoto with Miki and Momo! The experience felt so authentic from start to finish. Miki and Momo were absolutely fantastic hosts, super friendly, kind, and full of great conversation. They made ua feel welcome and made the class so much fun. We laughed, cooked, and enjoyed one of the best bowls of ramen we’ve ever had. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kyoto who wants to do something hands-on, tasty, and truly memorable! Many thanks Momo and Miki!!

Was a very nice experience. The staff were very friendly and also made an effort to make sure everyone had a mini pig to pet.

The process was so quick and easy to get into the garments. someone helped us every step of the way. although there were not too many options for the kids, they were still catered for and had a good time.

An amazing experience! 💕 Thank you to the ladies in the shop for carefully recommending kimono outfits for us, and for styling a very cute hairstyle. My boyfriend's look was super imposing 😂. Luckily, we booked an external photographer in advance 📷. The photos are really beautiful! Before returning the kimono, the staff even lent us a prop sword for photos, a very fun experience!

It’s the best experience wearing kimono for me. the staffs are so nice and helpful. you can try colors and matching until you are sure. they don’t rush and suggest the style if we have no idea. The price might more than other places but the quality is very good and suitable for the price.

Jasmine our guide was great and very knowledgeable giving us facts and history on all the locations! we were lucky enough to see a maiko going to an appointment at one of the locations. seeing the pagoda at night was amazing and it wasnt crowded and we were able to enjoy each location. would highly recommend going on a weeknight if you want less crowds!

Our guides Marie and Takumi were fantastic throughout this tour. They provided great insights to the surrounding districts and we're super friendly. we enjoyed getting to know both of them inbetween stops and we'll as the history of the area. It is a lot of walking and later in the day the streets become more packed with tourists. If you want to see all of the lights and possibly a Mako, book later. If you don't mind missing those two things, book earlier for a less crowed experience and come back again at night to easier navigate the crowds on your own.

Amazing site to rent a kimono, a lot of variety!
