Kyoto Kimono Rental | Ookini Kiyomizu-dera Store
Just finished a kimono session at Kyoto, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! A special shout-out to Carmen, the staff member; she was incredibly thoughtful and patient. She meticulously helped us choose the perfect kimonos and headwear based on our body types and personalities – her eye for style is amazing! We were also extremely satisfied with the makeup and hairstylist's work! Our photographer was also incredibly dedicated! He thoughtfully found hidden gems for us along the way, avoiding the crowds at tourist attractions. We were extremely happy with the final photos; the composition and candid shots were superb! The entire experience was so pleasant and comfortable – definitely worth every penny!

The itinerary was very fulfilling. Our guide, Liu, not only provided detailed introductions to the attractions but also shared local delicacies. The time was too short; I'd love to come back for an even more in-depth experience next time.
