Kyoto Cultural experiences

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 😍😍

We had a great experience with this kimono rental service! As two friends visiting Kyoto, we booked the 10:00 AM slot and were a little concerned after reading some comments about it being crowded. While it was busy, it was much more organized than some reviews suggested, and everything ran smoothly. Visitors should expect the full process (choosing a kimono, getting dressed, selecting accessories, and having their hairstyle done) to take around 1 hour, especially during busy times. We felt this was completely reasonable given everything that is included. My friend wanted to wear a men's kimono, and the staff were very accommodating. Although her first color choice was unavailable in her size, they quickly suggested an alternative that she was very happy with. They were also able to do a hairstyle with my short hair, which I really appreciated. A special thank you to the staff member who seemed to be in charge. She was very efficient and gave excellent advice throughout the process.

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.

We absolutely loved our kimono rental experience! 🩷 The staff were so kind, friendly, and approachable, and they made the whole experience feel extra special. I especially love how they styled my hair—it was so beautiful and elegant, and matched my kimono perfectly! 🥺🌸 I also really loved our kimonos and how everything came together. We booked this for our first wedding anniversary in Kyoto, and it became such a beautiful memory for us. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience! Highly recommended! 🇯🇵🏯🩷

I had an absolutely wonderful experience today. I learned so much about the history of matcha, which was unexpected. The hosts were friendly and spoke great English. I will definitely visit them again on my next trip to Kyoto.

I just came here yesterday, and to say the service was great is an understatement. The front employees are very well versed in English which makes the process of choosing the kimono very simple, and they are really friendly and made me feel very welcomed. I also want to give props to the ladies upstairs who help you change into the kimono. Despite the language barrier and my minuscule understanding of Japanese, I could tell they made an effort to make you feel very pretty and compliment you as well :) Thank you for much for the amazing experience Okimono and I look forward to coming back again in the future!

The Kimono is definitely high quality. I enjoyed the experience and extremely beautiful when worn. They help you with the belt of the kimono then style your hair to your preference.

Highly recommended! The staff was so sweet and attentive～She created a stunning, detailed hairstyle that matched our chosen kimono perfectly. If you want the perfect kimono look, this is the place to go～
