I've participated in many kimono experiences, but this one was the best. When choosing a kimono, no one rushed me; they even patiently helped me analyze the colors and styles. Although the kimono dressing process was quick, it wasn't perfunctory. Especially the hairstyle—I chose a more complicated style, but it wasn't uncomfortable during the tying process, and my hairstyle didn't get messed up or loose from morning till night. It allowed me to take many beautiful photos in Fushimi Inari and Uji. It was raining heavily that day, but there were transparent umbrellas available to borrow. It was a fantastic experience!
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!
The tour guide and driver were friendly and helpful, and each of the three scenic spots had its own unique charm; the tour departed from Osaka by tour bus, saving time and effort.
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.
The shop is a bit small, and the staff are too busy and a little impolite. I would recommend it to friends.
