Arashiyama Bamboo Forest photography

located in the Tanukikoji Arcade, easy to find. when you enter tell the staff your name and reservation time. they get quite busy but are very efficient. we chose our Kimono and then we're taken to the back to get partially fitted. then we were taken to the front for hairstyling. I highly recommend that you get the package with hairstyling. they have several options to choose from. lastly we were taken back for the Kimono dressing. we rented umbrellas (1100yen); purses are free to use. went to Nakajima park for pics.

The staff were really attentive and nice. They helped us pick the right combinations and adjusted the obi well. I will definitely book this place again if I return to Japan. 10/10 Super Recommended!!!!

The store is pretty easy to find, their hospitality and service is phenomenal esp i'm pregnant. Very gentle when they put my kimono on. They actually settled everything for me. The photographer & the ride tour carrousel. I would highly recommend this store. Photos turned out pretty good. Thank you so much, Kimono Rental Shop Ruri!!!

great service. staff can speak Chinese. I added on hair styling service for 2200yen and it was so pretty! location is easy to find and close to Kiyomizudera

This is our first experience wearing a kimono and I hired a photographer to take our pictures, our photographer name Gene. He can speak english so easy to communicate with and so friendly, he took us to the many photo spots and told us how to pose. I really love the final photos 🩷This experience really worth it

The store is conveniently located at the city centre. we arrived at the booking time and welcomed by the very helpful staffs. there’s plenty of kimono options to choose from! Kimono is clean and new. The staffs will help you wear it in proper Japanese way. Also complimentary hair styling for ladies. The Shrine is only 15 min walk away so that’s a major bonus! Rental time until 6pm is defo enough for a fun experience.

Accommodating and skilled staff who assisted my 88 year old grandmother. Ryusou attires are different from Kimono. Providing flexibility of both studio and outdoor shoot isn't widely availabile even in Tokyo or Kyoto. A fruitful experience.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Will give ideas on the matching so worry less. I enjoyed wearing kimono though it’s cold 😆🥶 Now I’m wondering if I booked the wrong pair for the season 🥶 But still, me and my husband is happy 💖
