Experiência de Quimono e Wahuku em Kumamoto Suizenji

A great experience, impeccable service, and the manager goes out of her way to dress you properly. The outfits are classy and come in all sizes (I'm a big guy and I was able to find a yukata that fit me perfectly). We were lent a T-shirt for the heat and sandals. Access to the nearby park is included, and the landscapes are magnificent...

予約は午前10時で、待ち時間は短く、私たちの前に2人しかいませんでした。伝統的な着物の選択肢は豊富でしたが、レースの選択肢は少なかったです。2人のスタッフは親切でした。着物を着る前にトイレを利用できました。追加の髪飾りレンタルは990円でした。残念ながら雨が降っていたので、暖を取るために水前寺公園のトイレを利用しました。

This was probably the most memorable experience during my trip to Japan. :) It was very easy to find by taking the tram from Kumamoto Station. The owner greeted me very kindly and fitted me meticulously! There were many types of kimonos and yukatas, and all the accessories were beautiful. I felt the best service and satisfaction with the free admission ticket to Suizenji Park, commemorative photos, and items like bags and socks. I would love to visit again next time. ☺️

The staff was very friendly and helped us put on the kimonos correctly! The shop is right next to the garden entrance, and there's a small pouch where we can store our belongings. A very authentic experience.

I was contemplating how to make a meaningful memory, so I booked and visited. I arrived a little earlier than the opening time, but they greeted me with a smile and even offered me a chair so I wouldn't have to stand, which was a pleasant start. Although I didn't have a specific design in mind, I received recommendations and tried on clothes. I only had to choose the general style, and the staff thoughtfully selected the rest of the clothes that suited me, which I appreciated. It was a bit disappointing that the variety of men's kimono designs seemed a bit limited compared to other clothing stores, but I still left with many good memories.

The experience was awesome, friendly and efficient staff members in the kimono store who prepared everything smoothly. But no hairstyle or make up provided which was a disappointment.

I had a reservation at the Suizenji Jojuen branch, but due to a delay in my itinerary, I didn't have enough time to go there. So, I tried my luck at Josaien, and fortunately, the owner was willing to let us have the experience there. I'm not sure if it was because it was later in the day, but compared to the kimono rental shop in Fukuoka, it felt a bit rushed and commercialized here. After completing one step, they would direct you to another area. Once you changed into the kimono, they would tell you to go get your hair done, and the staff would just start working without letting us choose a hairstyle. We got to choose our own kimono sash, bag, and socks, but when we took a bit longer to choose (due to indecisiveness), they would come over and offer suggestions. After everything was done, the manager would let you take photos inside the facility, and then ask you to go out and explore on your own, returning at 5 PM.

The staff are really friendly and kind. I was indecisive, but they were very patient in helping me choose a kimono, socks, and bag design (I paid extra for the hairstyle). The kimono and hair accessories are really pretty... though it was somewhat unfortunate that about 10 minutes after my booking, more than 15 tourists from a tour group arrived, so it suddenly got busy and everything felt rushed and a bit chaotic. It would definitely have been a better experience if it had been quieter and less crowded, but you can't predict a sudden influx of people.

I made the mistake of going to the wrong kimono rental branch. They were kind enough to let us rent our kimono there instead of sending us back to their other store. The only problem I had was with the shoes and socks. The socks didn't have any grip, so they kept slipping around in the shoes. I almost hurt myself several times. It was very dangerous, and trying to keep the shoes on hurt my feet and was painful. I have been to another kimono rental place before and had no problem wearing the shoes all day.

A great experience! The owner was very kind, and the individual photos turned out beautifully. Simple English was enough for communication. The children's hairstyles were adorable, and although there was an extra charge, it was well worth it!
