My five-day, four-night trip to Kyoto included three consecutive days at the Kiyomizu-dera main branch and the last day at the Inari branch. I enjoyed trying out different styles each day. I initially chose this branch because it offered convenient options like overnight returns and returns to other branches without extra charges. To be honest, if you choose a cheaper plan, the staff will almost certainly try to sell you higher-end kimonos for an extra fee. However, their furisode and visiting attire were truly beautiful, so I upgraded myself. I noticed that even when other customers declined, they didn't push it. The weather was quite cold during my visit, and the staff provided thermal underwear, thermal pants, and scarves, as well as a hand warmer. Additionally, umbrellas and handbags, used as photo props, were available for free loan. I'm giving it five stars mainly because the staff are incredibly kind and friendly, and they're also very dedicated. One night I returned my kimono late, which meant one of the employees had to work overtime to serve me, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay, I need to finish washing my clothes first anyway." Also, the same beautiful young woman did my hair for three consecutive days, and her hairstyles were absolutely gorgeous. Furthermore, the Kiyomizu main store has a Hong Kong employee, so Hong Kong customers don't need to worry about communication issues. I'd like to go to Kyoto again in the spring or summer, and I'll definitely visit again then.
