Is this plan good for first-time visitors?

Yes. This Kyoto kimono rental plan is easy to book and comes with professional dressing, so first-time visitors can get dressed and head straight out to Kiyomizu-dera or Gion without any preparation.

Is hair styling included?

Basic hair styling is included with this plan. Staff will arrange a simple style that suits the kimono, and you can ask for ideas in store.

How long does dressing usually take?

The full process — choosing the kimono, dressing and basic hair styling — takes about 40 minutes. Please arrive a little before your reserved time.

Where should I go after renting this kimono?

This plan works well for Kiyomizu-dera, Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, or for Gion, Yasaka Shrine and Hanamikoji — all popular after rental and easy to combine on foot from Kanwa's two stores.

Can I book this plan online before visiting Kyoto?

Yes. Reserve your time slot online first, then confirm the final kimono style in store with staff. Booking ahead is recommended during cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons.
