Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Kiyomizudera Temple

One of the BEST experiences of our Japan trip! From arrival, everyone was kind, patient and welcoming. We were three generations: my mom, me and my 4-year-old daughter, and they found matching kimonos for ALL of us! My mom and I are plus-size, and we had beautiful options without needing the ¥5,000 celebratory upgrade. They even had my daughter’s size and gave her a sweet little add-on. We also booked the 60-minute photography session directly through the kimono shop, and DO IT! 📸 Our photographer was amazing. He posed and directed us, chose beautiful locations, and captured individual, mother-daughter and three-generation photos. It was HOT, we needed restroom breaks, and we had a 4-year-old, but he was incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed. Just LOOK at these photos! We left with more than vacation pictures; we have family keepsakes we’ll treasure forever. 👘💕

It was 2 p.m. when I arrived. I originally thought I would be late, but unexpectedly, the hairstyling, makeup, and outfit change only took 40 minutes in total, and everything looked fantastic. The staff worked quickly and provided professional service. It's a really great shop.

Ang tour ay sulit na sulit, at propesyonal si Gary na tour guide. Noong nakaraang taglamig, bumili ako ng 1-day tour sa Klook nang pumunta ako sa Osaka, at kinontak ako ng tour guide sa WhatsApp. Ngayon, bago ako umalis, walang kumontak sa akin kaya medyo kinabahan ako, pero nang dumating ako sa tamang oras at lugar ng meeting, naging maayos ang lahat. Nagkaroon ako ng napakagandang biyahe kasama ang aking asawa at mga anak, masarap ang tanghalian, at masaya ang pagtikim ng green tea. Dapat ninyong i-book ang tour na ito kung ito ang unang beses ninyo sa mga lugar sa itinerary para hindi na kayo mag-alala tungkol sa pagkain at transportasyon.

Mr Shine is an excellent tour guide speaking well in English, Mandarin & Japanese. I learn a lot from him, he is very hard working on his heard of tourist. Kyoto & Nara sequence is adjusted to suit the weather. Unfortunately it rained lightly the whole day & the sun did not "shine". I stll enjoyed being guided with fond memories provided by Mr Shine. Be careful not to feed the deers as I got pushed on my back by 2 male deers who smell busicuits carried by me, dirtied my clothes! I recommend to follow Shine's offer of 6 choices lunch which you pay to restaurant yourself, A Mr Shine's value added service.

（Tour Guide）Ang gabay na kayang magpalit-palit ng Chinese, Japanese, at English, kasama ang kasamang marunong mag-Korean, ay nakapag-asikaso sa bawat miyembro ng grupo. Narinig namin ang kasaysayan at mga kuwento ng bawat atraksyon, at ang hindi na kailangan pang mag-research ang pinakamalaking benepisyo 😂. Nagbigay sila ng pre-order para sa tanghalian, na nagbigay sa amin ng mas maraming oras para maglibot sa Kiyomizu-dera at sa paligid nito, at masarap din ang pagkain. Ang itinerary ay maayos na naayos sa loob ng limitadong oras (ngunit kung ikaw ay isang manlalakbay na mahilig mag-enjoy nang matagal at manatili nang mas matagal para kumuha ng litrato, hindi angkop ang itinerary na ito, dahil ang oras na inilaan para sa Fushimi Inari Shrine ay hindi sapat para lakarin ang buong Senbon Torii!). (Tour Bus) Malinis at maayos, at ang biyahe ay napakakinis. Madali akong mahilo sa sasakyan, kaya kadalasan ay natutulog ako sa bus, at hindi ako nagising dahil sa masamang pagmamaneho.

You can wear a beautiful kimono even with the basic options, so go early and choose well, haha! All the staff are very kind, and they meticulously styled my hair even with the basic option! They also rented out parasols, fans, bags, and shoes! It would have been terrible without a parasol because of the heat. My feet did hurt after wearing the shoes for a long time, so I returned them after four hours...^^ There's nothing that can be done about the shoes themselves, so if you need them, bring your own sneakers or just wear the shoes you came in instead of renting. Kimonos are a bit hot from mid-May onwards. Please keep that in mind! Anyway, I traveled alone and had a great time taking pictures in a beautiful outfit~*^^* The clothes were pretty and affordable, and the staff were friendly, haha! Highly recommended. They also recommended an obi that perfectly matched the kimono design, which was wonderful ☺️☺️❤️

A great experience and my daughters and I were made to feel very special with hair styling and dressing assistance. Tea ceremony was very informative. We enjoyed the authentic matcha and opportunity to take photos afterwards. A rainy day when we attended but we were still able to take a short walk to find a nice backdrop for some outside photos. highly recommended.

Last time, I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, so this time I went to places I hadn't seen before. It was just before a long holiday, so there weren't many people, and it was wonderfully peaceful and quiet! When you actually see it, it's not so much 'Wow, that's amazing!' but rather beautiful scenery, the path you walk while admiring that scenery, various photos taken at photo spots, and an unexpected seagull zoo feeding (making eye contact with seagulls and hawks). I didn't have high expectations, but it was fun! The only downside is that the travel time is a bit long if you depart from Osaka! However, our guide, MICA, explained many things about Japan so well and took such beautiful photos that I even changed my KakaoTalk profile picture for the first time in a while! 😄

Such a fun experience! 🎎✨ Definitely worth it! The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was such a hot day that I even learned the Japanese word “atsui” (暑い) because of them! 😂 They had such a great variety of yukatas and kimonos, and I was so satisfied with the one I chose. It matched my skin tone perfectly! 🤍 My hair was also styled so beautifully, and I loved how everything came together. 🌸✨ Such a lovely experience overall. Would definitely recommend!
