[Which store is convenient for me?]
We have two stores in Kyoto:
Gion Store: Located just a 2-minute walk from the Hanamikoji Street and Yasaka Shrine in Gion and a 15-minute walk from Kiyomizu Temple. This location is recommended for those who want to enjoy taking photos around Gion and Kiyomizu Temple.
Kyoto Tower Store: Located 2 minutes from Kyoto Station. Nearby are photo spots such as Kyoto station and Higashi Honganji Temple. Due to its proximity to Kyoto Station, it offers convenient access to areas like Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari shrine. This location is ideal for those planning to visit multiple spots, those on a day trip, or those staying in Osaka or nearby.
[Which plan do you recommend?]
Standard Plan: This is the most affordable plan to enjoy wearing a kimono or yukata. It includes the kimono, obi belt, Japanese clutch bag, sandals, tabi socks, and a simple hairstyle. For an additional fee, you can upgrade the kimono, accessories, and hairstyle as desired.
Deluxe plan: This plan gives you the flexibility to choose from additional options.
Upgrading the grade of the kimono and obi (Japanese belt) is also possible up to a certain level. Additionally, a standard hairstyle is included (only for women). Please note that the available choices of kimono grades may vary by store, so please check with the store for specific options.
※If you make a reservation after 3pm the day before, you may have to wait a little while at the store.
