Best kimono rental shop - The team at this shop was very nice and efficient in helping us get into the kimonos and even did my hair and makeup in 1 hour. It was a very good experience since we were on a tight schedule. English speaker friendly.

The whole experience was... - The whole experience was very sales-y. Every portion had an optional price add-on and there was limited information given prior to the tour (eg wear a tank top and leggings underneath or something warm during the winter months). The place closes at 5:30pm so be conscious of your booking time. No simple hair styling available. Would not book again. Staff was friendly

Do Not Recommend - Staff was not that friendly and catered more to customers who spoke their native tongue (not Japanese). Some staff treated us foreigners like we were more like a nuisance. Their kimono & yukata selections were very limited. My husband & son each had only 3 yukata to choose from & they were all dark, plain & drab colors. I asked for a larger sized slipper & was told that it only came in one size. Yet when another customer (native speaker in their language) asked for the same thing, they quickly ran to the back to get her a larger pair. Customers are not treated fairly. Also, it seems if you want better treatment, you need to spend more. I guess I was treated like a waste of their time cause I only chose their basic package. Their hair accessories have much to be desired. They were old, ratty & in total need of replacement.

Unpleasant and chaotic - This was unpleasant and chaotic. The shop workers are rude. They didn't realize that I spoke Chinese as well as English and they are definitely ruder to foreigners.
