Kyoto Kimono Rental Customer Testimonials
Enjoyable and Highly Satisfying Even When Alone!
I booked and used this service during my solo trip to Kyoto. From choosing the kimono to the hairstyling, the service in the store was very attentive. The speed at which they dressed me in the kimono was impressive, and the professionalism stood out. Even though the photo shoot was done in the scorching heat, we still had a wonderful time throughout the process. The photographer, Mr. Murakami, kindly guided us with poses, and we ended up with smooth and very beautiful photos. I am truly grateful, especially in such hot weather! This service is enjoyable and highly satisfying even when you’re alone, so I highly recommend this photography plan!
A Wide Variety of Kimonos
to Choose From!
There is a wide variety of kimonos, and I was able to choose a very suitable one! I’m also very grateful to Mr. Asano, the photographer. This is an amazing shop, and I’d love to ask them to shoot in other locations as well! I’m looking forward to receiving the photo data.
Comfortable and No Issues with the Kimono,
Enjoying the Moment
From the initial email communication to the service on the day, everything was quick and meticulous. They made flexible suggestions on the day, and the kimono was comfortable without being too tight or slipping off, making the experience even more enjoyable. During hairstyling and makeup, they provided matching lip color and offered several hair accessories, which I really appreciated. The attention to detail during the photo shoot made me feel at ease, and the photo-taking and moving process went smoothly. All of the finished photos turned out beautifully, and they became wonderful memories and keepsakes. I sincerely appreciate it.
