The young lady at the counter was very helpful and friendly, providing detailed explanations. She speaks Chinese, so there's no need to worry about language barriers. The selection of kimonos is extensive; you're sure to find one you like. The new arrivals look fantastic on! The ladies who help with dressing and hairstyling are professional, friendly, and chatty—they all speak Chinese too! They're very engaging. There are many hairstyling options, and they'll discuss details with you. You can also choose your favorite hair accessories. The stylist is amazing! The final look was incredibly satisfying. The bags available are also exquisite. If I go back, I'll definitely choose this shop again!
Booked a 8.30am slot on a Tuesday and it was very packed when we went in. When we returned our kimonos at 1pm, the store was also very packed. Store space (first floor for outfit selection, second floor for hairstyling and changing) are both not big. Japanese lady who helped me with my kimono in my second floor was very lovely.
But the choices of kimono even for the special offer are great. There are even lace designs available to choose from. Hairstyling was also done very nicely and I love it!
This was my first time joining one of these tours, and it was so convenient! The coincidence of picking up the bus right downstairs from my hotel was perfect; the itinerary conveniently took me to three different places. A special thank you to our tour guide, Jun (Bobo), who shared many profound life lessons with us, explaining that many people are just passing through our lives, and that meeting him this time was fate. He even sang for the rest of the group at the end! 🤭 Not only was he professional, but he was also hilarious. I'll definitely join again next time! 🙏🏻
There are quite a few options to choose from, and the hair styling afterwards looks pretty good. However, the cheaper options don't have many clothes and hair accessories to choose from, so you can add more items later.
The shop was very crowded during cherry blossom season, and the staff were very patient and helpful even though they hadn't eaten or drunk anything. They spoke Chinese, and the clothing styles were decent; the uniforms were especially nice. The only downside was that the shop was a bit small.
