While it is true there is a lot of upselling, we found the whole experience truly enjoyable. It was fun selecting the kimonos and having our hair and makeup done. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
It took us a while to find the shop but once we got there things went smoothly. It was quite an experience to be fitted into the kimono. I had no idea of the undergarments which were a part of the outfit. My friend and I had a ball walking through the streets of Kyoto.
Thank you for your compliment, and we will continue to strive to improve our service level and make your next experience even more satisfying.
There is a great selection of Kimonos at this location. They had a fast and efficient process of getting us changed in and out of the Kimono. It was worth the extra $ to get our hair styled and embellished with flowers.

Most amazing experience. Great variety of kimono and Yukata. Lovely staff too. Will definitely visit again. Get additional accessories, it’s worth it.

It was shiny, crowded, no fee, half-day long, with a tour (Sayga Travel). We love the Kimono experience, we visited a temple, and walked around in the streets shopping for traditional items. The tea ceremony was interesting and contrary to the "running Western lifestyle".

Great experience, a shop conveniently located at the foot of a Buddhist temple! Ladies, remember to come with shorts because you will be in underwear in a fitting box with sometimes several other customers 😉

They nickle and dime you for everything. With all the money they're making invest in an air conditioning system lol. With that said they do lovely work . Just make sure that their upfront about the prices for each thing.
Thank you very much for your evaluation of us, we will definitely bring your suggestions back for improvement. We will continue to provide excellent service to make your next experience more enjoyable. Kyotokimonorental Rei
The shop was very accommodating and the ladies did a great job. Make sure you wear shorts underneath if you are shy because you do have to get down to your underwear to get dressed. I recommend renting an umbrella because it is hot in the summer. The only drawback as a solo traveller is that I didn’t have anyone to take pictures of me.

The experience was wonderful! Selecting and getting dressed taught us about the richness Japanese culture has. The service was fantastic! We used the hair service and it is worth it. This was a memorable experience.
Thank you for your high opinion of us, we will receive your feedback as an important basis to improve our services and make your next experience more enjoyable. Kyotokimonorental Rei
Staff was really friendly! The rentals were so beautiful and the hair-do was amazing! You have all day to explore in your kimono!
