Things to do in Kyoto Gion Matsuri Festival Gallery

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.

Incredibly immersive exhibits and really cool to be a part of the art. My favourite was the interactive sport exhibits. Very well organized and easy to navigate. It is crowded but not overwhelmingly so. There may be some lines.

The amusement park is not very big, but it has many different ride zones. The haunted house is very scary, and the parade is amazing—I came here just for this. Everything is totally worth it. Inside, there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, shops, and activities, so you can easily spend the whole day here. Don't forget to catch the evening Hundred Demons parade and the stage show.

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.

Did the mother and daughter plan, The Lady that helped us was really kind and made the experience of getting ready special. what a lovely experience to do while in Kyoto.

An incredible experience here today. From the reception, putting on the kimono, and also the ceremony. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Haruka was our ceremonialist and was very patient, explained everything about the type of room and the type of ceremony, and answered all our questions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

My wife and I booked the kimono rental here today. There was a large and beautiful selection of various kimonos. Although it was quite crowded, everything worked out in the end, and everyone was very friendly. However, choosing and getting dressed took a little longer than originally expected. We were also completely satisfied with the selection of kimonos, including the accessories. My wife's hair turned out very nicely as well. Afterwards, we had also booked a photoshoot, which was very satisfactory. Our photographer Momo was great, too. Thanks again for everything!

An absolute must see. We were running late for our entry time due to a family emergency but they still let us in and placed us with a group. Our tour guides Ara and Nana were a treat. the Ninja Star throwing was so much fun. highly recommend.
