We had an amazing tour today, and our guide Lucia made it extra special. Everything was well-organized from the start—we received all the info we needed about the meetup and itinerary in advance. On the bus, Lucia clearly explained everything, making sure everyone was comfortable and informed before each destination. She was kind, attentive, funny, and such a sweetheart. Her energy really made the day enjoyable. The tour itself was smooth, fun, and full of adventure. I especially appreciated how Lucia made sure we got back to the hotel safely after a long day. I’ll definitely take this tour again when I visit in October and highly recommend it to others. Thank you, Lucia!

There are many staffs in the shop. We booked in the morning before the shop opened, so we had to wait a bit. The staffs in the shop can speak Chinese and English. Most of the customers are probably Chinese because the staffs often speak Chinese. The clothes are cute, the hair style is done quickly, beautiful. Everyone in the shop is ready to serve.

Very good! The staff are very enthusiastic and patient. I bought the package of more than 200 yuan directly, which basically includes everything. The hairstyle is also very delicate, with layers of lace and hair accessories, perfect

There aren't many choices for discounted kimonos. For men, they are basically dark blue, black, and gray. They can also be paired with a belt, but you need a boyfriend who won't spoil your fun.
