I chose the cheapest soup tofu dish, but the price/performance ratio is really average. The dining environment is very good, and it will be even more beautiful during the red leaf season. If you have not experienced it, you can come and try it and choose the appropriate set meal according to your financial situation.

Dine in an old house that is over 400 years old. You will be surprised and moved at every turn. The scenery and food are as beautiful as a painting.

The appointment was at 10 am. After arriving on time, I reported the reservation form to the store. The clerk will tell you where to choose the kimono, and then explain the general situation of each kimono. After choosing, take you to change clothes, do your hair, choose bags and shoes, go out shopping and take pictures. In summary, this store is very cost-effective. Klook is much cheaper than the store. You can rest assured to book online and choose it after arriving at the store. The kimonos online and offline are the same, there is no difference, so online is more favorable

The historic and great environment made all 14 of us feel very relaxed. There is a parking lot nearby where we can park. We drove there by ourselves.

The Chinese service staff in the store are very friendly, and there are many styles of clothes to choose from. It is recommended to make an appointment early to have more choices. It is very close to the Gion Shijo Station of the subway. If you want to go to Kiyomizu Temple, walk there from Yasaka Shrine, about 10 minutes. You can get there in a few minutes. There are scenic spots along the way. You can take various photos. Finally, you can return it to their Kiyomizudera store. You can return it across two stores, which is super convenient.

After the experience, personal views are as follows, for reference only oh: First, the staff is very enthusiastic, will fully explain your choice of kimono: the guide will take you to your scheduled kimono area, let you choose your favorite, after selecting the kimono The belt that will help you match the kimono. After picking the clothes and belt will take you to dress, and then do the hairstyle, we chose a free hairstyle, also very good looking, the store also has a fee hairstyle, you can also choose to pay 1650 yen in the store for a fee hairstyle oh, return The time is before 18:00 pm, after 18:00 will be charged a delay fee, overall highly recommended this oh
