Outstanding experience from the beginning until the end

5.00The experience overall was outstanding, since the moment I got into the kimono shop the staff made their very best to get the perfect yugata set for me, they really took their time and patience to get it done for me also considering my preferences. After that, the photo session with Gene was magnificent, absolutely stunning pictures that I got out of the photoshoot around Kiyumizu Dera, I purchased the 2 hours session and definitely recommended as it was worth it, really well taken care of not only in pictures but also in the sceneries and valuables that he carried along which helped for it.

5.00Huge selection of elegant and gorgeous kimonos for women children and men. Staff was super friendly and helped prep my entire group. We opted for the photo shoot and the photographer was great. Took us to some really nice spots at a temple. Overall great experience with some professional looking photos! There’s a million choices when it comes to kimono rentals, I think this one should be at the top of your list.
