this is really a unique experience to wear kimonos. we book the earliest schedule so we can tour early wearing kimonos. there is a heavy snow that day and wearing kimono makes it magical. people on the store was so kind and acocomodating even if the store is still closed they let us in because of the snow outside.

The exquisite and elegant Kyoto garden and cuisine, as well as the gentle and polite service, are definitely a great place to dine after visiting Nanzenji Temple!

Easy and stress free way to enjoy biwako valley. Luckily we searched for the pick up point a day earlier as there were 2 crab signage at that area.

Can speak Chinese, the service attitude is super good, I went to Japan and wore kimono four times, I really think this service is the best, the hair is also very beautiful, there are many styles of clothes to choose from, not only scarves but also gloves, and they also gave us umbrellas when it snowed, very considerate

I highly recommend it. The seats are spacious and it was nice to be able to close your eyes and sleep for a while during the tiring schedule. Rather than planning for one day yourself, I recommend leaving it to the bus tour and enjoying your trip. You will be satisfied with the guided tour.
