Kyoto Kimono Rental Rei, Kyoto

They were super busy, and even though we had an appointment at 11:30 it was well after 1 before my daughter was dress and out the door. The kimono was great. Very little English. Spent time just standing around because we didn't know what to do and the staff wasn't even trying to communicate. Good selection, the hair ended up looking great, poor shoe selection, especially if you have bigger feet. They also closed earlier than other stores we stumbled across later. All in all, it's not bad, but not maybe the best either. Price is good. Liked booking online.

I was a little afraid because of the comments, but it is a good place! Kimonos for women are between 5,000 and 30,000 JPY. A lot of beautiful options to choose. Staff is so kind and helpful, even when they don’t speak a lot of English. My only suggestion is to not book the make up service. I think it is so expensive (3,000 JPY) for what they offer. It didn’t last more than the hour of my photoshoot. Also, I can do the same by myself. Hair service is half the price (1,500) and really worth it! One hour is enough to choose, dress, and have your hair done.
