Kyoto Kimono/Yukata Rental & Photo Experience (Provided by Sakura Kimono Oukakimono)

It was our very first time trying on a kimono, and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The process of selecting the perfect kimono was enjoyable and thoughtfully guided, making it easy and fun even for beginners like us. What truly stood out was the attention to detail—not only in helping us choose the right patterns and colors, but also in the careful styling of our hair and the coordination of accessories to complete the look beautifully. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism, which made the experience feel both special and memorable. We felt completely taken care of throughout, and it really added to our appreciation of traditional Japanese culture. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in trying on a kimono for the first time or simply wants to enjoy a unique and elegant cultural activity ✨👏🏻

Well served by two Taiwanese girls who can speak fluent Mandarin, Japanese and English. As we are not familiar with kimono, they allow in-store upgrade of female kimono to Houmongi. The store prioritises hygiene and reminded us that once we changed into the kimono, we are not allowed to change to another kimono, which is a good idea to prevent getting a dirty kimono or the doubt of skin infection. They provided us with lockers to put in our own stuff, and gave us bags matching our outfit to carry important items along with us. There is no time limit to how soon we must return the kimono, provided we get back to the store before 5pm, as there will be extra charges from 5-6pm, and more so for next-day return as the store completely closes at 6pm. The outfit comes along with free socks. On top of that, they provided us with free heat packs. Upon returning of kimono, we even got surprise gifts from the store. Highly recommend this store for a wonderful kimono experience !

incredible experience! i booked 30 minutes before and when i arrived everyone was super nice. i choose the simple kimono and had a lot to choose from. two really kind ladies helped me dress it and did my hair, i could choose for free one of three styles, and then i was able to acessorize the hair with pearls and some other acessories. during the day i felt really comfortable with the kimono and when i went back to the rental everyone was once again amazing, i stayed with the hairstyle and they even offered me a really sweet gift afterwards. i really recommend it!!!

The shop owner speaks Mandarin, which is very convenient for us as visitors from Malaysia. We arrived at 9:00 a.m. and were able to start our service even before our scheduled 9:30 a.m. appointment. There is a wide selection of kimonos with matching accessories to choose from, and the staff are skilled at helping both adults and children dress in kimono or yukata, as well as styling your hair. The only downside is that it’s quite a long walk from the bus stop to the shop.

plenty choices, you might add on 2000 yen to get another design, quick setup and some staff able to speak mandarin, recommended to bring along ur sport shoes with you after kimono setup if your journey is quite long, easy to walk with sport shoes.

I had a fantastic experience wearing kimono for the first time. The ladies at this shop was so kind and politely. able to help me choose the kimono that suits me. Thank you so much for this experience especially for the hairstyle so elegant and cute. I definitely booked again when I came back to Japan!! Thank you so much!!

We loved the experience, and the staff is super attentive and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The service is excellent. You can't miss the experience of going in a kimono. In addition, the girls gave us a little gift at the end.

I had the basic set. It was nice enough for the experience. The staff were very polite and nice. They will help you wear the kimono. I had basic kimono, basic hair, no make up, no bag, with slippers.
