Great place! - Wonderful experience! Definitely make a reservation so you don’t have to wait, and consider pairing with a rickshaw ride. So fun!

Dressing up - The ladies were so helpful & dressed us up for success. They even had time to add makeup on a few of the ladies who didn’t initially booked for make-up. Highly recommended this experience for your trip to Kyoto

We LOVED this experience! - My 78 year old mother and 11 year old daughter did this together with me. A three generational cultural experience. Staff were friendly, patient, and helpful with getting us all ready together. **A little tip** they weren't busy because it was a bit drizzly weather. Buy yourself a CLEAR umbrella so to let the light through but you don't get wet. Your photos will have gorgeous soft atmospheric light. The streets will be far less busy too. This was a core memory that we three will never forget. Arigato

Treasured Keepsake - I purchased this for my friends' (couple) first trip to Japan. They said they will treasure this photos. Incase especially grateful to the staff for suggesting Gion Komori for a location to take pictures. It was close to walk to, and the location was simply beautiful!!!

Feeling like a Japanese - It was a memorable and interesting experience to feel like a Japanese. The rental place has a lot of choices.

Makes for great pictures! - I went into this thinking that it was a touristy thing, but there were a lot of locals who appeared to be in Wedding parties. That said, the kimonos get pretty nice, but that is not what your reservation gets you. When we went, for my reservation, I had about a dozen kimonos to choose from. They were nice, but kind of plain. The photo they have in the advertisement is pretty accurate. I am also a big guy, so that is what they had that would fit me. To get the "samurai" kimono, there was a bit of an upcharge, like 150%. I have to note, none of the other customers, that I saw, went this route. My wife had a similar experience, not because of fit, but because she wanted something nicer. She looked really great. We got a lot of compliments from tourists and locals alike. Out the door, I had to pay an extra 150% of the original booking. Be forewarned. They recommended the upgrade, but they weren't pushy about it. Fitting went smooth. They allowed us in early, and got us fitted in about an hour. It was a Saturday, so as we were leaving, they said they were closing at 5:30, so please be back before 5:00. I don't think that was in the original schedule. Be warned, the real deal kimono is several layers of clothing, and can get hot...and the sandals are not very comfortable for long walks.

Great fun for the whole family - This was such a fun experience for our family, we all loved it. The staff were really helpful and patient with our large family group including our son with special needs. Lage selection to choose from.

It was alright - The problem that I had here is that they don’t allow time for hair and makeup with this reservation! I figured it was extra charge and I was totally ok paying extra for it. But they didn’t have time to do my makeup which was very inconvenient for me! Everything nice is extra charge! Nicer kimono, purse, hair and makeup. Also it is a 10% (TEN) to pay by credit card in there. So take cash if you don’t want to be ripped off!

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.
