Kyoto Private Kimono Photoshoot & Rental — Please Read Before Booking
Begin your bespoke Kyoto journey at an exclusive studio in the historic heart of the ancient capital. Whether a solo traveller, a couple, or a family, this private experience is crafted entirely around your pace and your story.
OUR FOUR EXPERIENCES — PLEASE CHOOSE THE ONE THAT SUITS YOU BEST:

1. Kyoto Private Photoshoot (No Kimono Needed)
   Capture Kyoto in your own style. Follow a professional photographer through the atmospheric streets of Higashiyama in your own outfit — no kimono included. Receive a curated set of retouched images plus all your originals. Kimono or extended time can be added during booking.
2. All-Inclusive Luxury Kimono & 1-Hour Photoshoot
   Our most exclusive experience. Choose a single exquisite garment from our full premium collection — formal furisode, elegant houmongi, and our rarest silk and master-crafted pieces, with no limits on style or rarity — paired with a one-hour private photoshoot. Best suited to guests of 160cm and above for the most elegant fit; please confirm before booking.
3. Komon Kimono & 1-Hour Professional Photoshoot
   A refined, much-loved classic. Select a graceful Komon kimono — or a Yukata in summer — for a one-hour professional photoshoot. Receive all your original digital photographs plus a generous selection of expertly retouched images. Perfect for solo travellers, couples, and groups.
4. Kimono & Yukata Rental (Photoshoot Optional)
   Wander Kyoto's historic streets in a beautiful kimono at your own pace. Includes a complete dressing session, basic hair styling, and all accessories. A professional photoshoot is NOT included — to add one, select the “Professional Photoshoot” option at checkout.
   INCLUDED IN EVERY KIMONO OPTION
   A meticulous dressing session, basic hair styling (for guests with sufficient hair length), and all accessories, from our extensive collection for women and men.
   YOUR DAY WITH US
   Your booking time marks your studio arrival. Please allow approximately two hours for full dressing and hair styling before your photoshoot begins. Once styled, step into Kyoto's timeless streets with your professional photographer and English-speaking guide, along a personalised route through the iconic Gion district and serene Yasaka Shrine. Drawing on deep local expertise, we lead you away from crowds towards the most cinematic, tranquil hidden alleys.
   IMPORTANT — PLEASE NOTE:

All add-ons and upgrades must be selected during booking. Nothing can be added on-site on the day, so please choose everything you would like when booking.
Retouched photos are allocated per booking, not per person — shared across your group under a single booking, regardless of participant number. Extra retouched photos may be added through GetYourGuide.
During peak seasons, popular spots may occasionally involve a brief pause — a natural rhythm of shooting in Kyoto's historic streets. Your photographer's full attention remains with your group throughout.
