A stunning selection of high-quality kimonos to choose from! The staff at the shop were incredibly friendly and helpful, patiently guiding us in selecting and matching the perfect combinations. The experience was relaxed, with no sense of being rushed, making the process truly enjoyable. Most importantly, the shop was impeccably clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort and quality of the visit. Will recommend to anyone looking for a pleasant kimono experience.

It was a nice experience to visit Kyoto though it was crowded that time. I enjoyed a lot especially in Nara. They say deer will use to bow down before giving them treats and I saw how clever and cute they are.

During this trip, I fully felt the tour guide Xiao Dai’s attentiveness and understanding of Japanese history and tourist attractions. He always warned about safety and cared about the passengers’ feelings, and was always enthusiastic and smiling towards the passengers. Although the trip was very compact, the experience was worth it. You can experience everything you eat. Thanks to Xiao Dai’s hard work, this trip to Kyoto is full of wonderful memories!

Highly recommended! 真的很值得!性价比好高。服务很周到,我最推荐这家。Very convenient location near lots of beautiful old buildings in Kyoto and the kiyomizudera temple that will definitely make for a beautiful background. I have tried different kimono shops and this one has the best service, does not upsell you or add on extra fees for accessories and gives you all the extra things like fur neck warmer, gloves and heating pads for winter which we really needed. not a money grab definitely very worth the experience and the staff were not only very helpful and understanding, they also knew how to create the most cohesive looks for you. very professional hair stylists, way better than the Tokyo one I’ve been to. please book with them, you will not regret!

This one-day tour of Kyoto Classic In-depth Tour made me fall in love with this city completely! From the golden beauty of Kinkakuji Temple to the ancient atmosphere of Kiyomizu Temple, every attraction intoxicated me. Walking on the stone slabs of Ninenzaka, I felt the unique charm of ancient Kyoto, especially Hanami-koji, which is full of ancient teahouses and small shops, and the atmosphere is particularly peaceful and charming. The tradition and modernity of Gion are intertwined, and it is unique. The Thousand Torii Gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha are simply shocking. Walking under the red torii gates, it seems to have entered a mysterious world. The tour guide's explanation is very vivid, not only providing rich historical knowledge, but also sharing a lot of local customs and customs. The whole itinerary is arranged just right, with enough time to enjoy the attractions without rushing, which is very suitable for tourists who like in-depth tours and slow travel. Very satisfied, highly recommended!
