The style of wearing a kimono for the first time is also good, but the location is a bit old and dark. You have to walk up the stairs to the second floor. The location is convenient and highly recommended.

Get out of JR Kyoto Station and take bus No. 206 to Higashiyama Yasui Station, get off and walk for 2 minutes to get there. The building has to go up to the second floor, which is dark and a bit shabby, but the interior is decorated with friendly and wired styles and is good.

very nice girls. helped to choose obi to match kimono, advised how it would look better. dressed quickly, adjusted kimono to look as best as possible. large selection of kimonos, obi, handbags, hair ornaments and hairstyles. service is very good! great location, provide warm underwear in cold weather and scarves/short fur coats. for your money amazing service! the only thing I do not recommend to take klook special women's kimono, because there were only 5 kimonos to choose from and all of them were not as beautiful as the others, so we paid extra 2000 ¥ for one person.

We had an incredible experience in Kyoto with Fred as our guide, even though we’ve visited the city a few times before. Fred was exceptionally punctual, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the tour. His deep understanding of the history and traditions of the places we visited made the trip truly enriching.
One of the highlights of our tour was visiting Kiyomizudera Temple, where Fred took us to a wonderful kimono rental shop upon our group’s request. Wearing a kimono while exploring the area added so much charm to our experience!
We will absolutely book another tour with him the next time we visit Japan. If you’re looking for a reliable and insightful guide in the Kansai region, I wholeheartedly recommend this agency!

The service staff is very kind. I can purchase additional hairstyles on site. The hairstylist professionally uses it and it looks great. I like it. They also take photos and give me a physical photo. I will want to visit again.

A very good kimono experience. There are many kimono choices. There is an additional charge for makeup and headdress services. There were five of us and we hired a photographer to take photos. It was a great experience.
