Kyoto Kimono & Yukata Rental Experience & Japanese Style Makeup & Photo Shoot (Ookini Kiyomizu Temple Main Store)
Ookini Kimono has been deeply rooted in Kyoto for 7 years. Its staff are known for their friendliness and kindness, which is often mentioned by customers as a key positive point. It is also a kimono experience store that practices “transparent pricing with no extra charges.”
Since March 2024, Ookini’s 5 branches have been progressively listed on Klook. As of June 2025, they have accumulated over 25,000 orders and served over 50,000 travelers from Korea, Hong Kong, China, Europe, and America. On average, over 120 customers trust them daily.
Ookini Kimono also thoughtfully provides a variety of free services, including: transparent plans with no extra charges, free cross-store returns, free hotel returns, free luggage storage, free umbrella and warm jacket rentals, and free kimono stain insurance, allowing every customer to enjoy their experience with peace of mind.
If you are hesitant about choosing a kimono, it is recommended to book the “600+ Styles Optional Plan.” You can also freely upgrade at the store according to your preferences (just pay the difference).
Ookini’s Sincere Message: We highly value our customers’ experience and would like to address negative reviews and areas that are easily misunderstood.
- “Furisode and Houmongi” are traditionally worn for ceremonies such as weddings in Japan, so their craftsmanship is luxurious. Ookini has an advantageous stock quantity in the industry, attracting customers who are proposing, on wedding trips, or looking for stunning photos.
- Therefore, customers who book kimonos/yukatas, upon seeing others experiencing “Furisode and Houmongi,” may easily misunderstand that “beautiful clothes cost extra.” In reality, these do not belong to the category of “kimono/yukata.”
- Individual staff members have excessively recommended “Furisode and Houmongi” to customers who booked photography sessions (believing they are more suitable for keepsakes). Internal rectification has been carried out, and we apologize to our customers for this!
- Please note that some plans do not include elaborate hairstyles, makeup, or photography (the title indicates the scope of business).
- Regarding “kimono upgrade to furisode obi” and “men’s hakama,” areas that are easily misunderstood have been provided as booking options in the plans.
- A very important point: Please believe that kindness, friendliness, and valuing the customer’s emotional well-being are always Ookini Kimono’s calling card; moreover, transparent pricing is our persistence, and we refuse assembly-line production, meticulously handling every fold of the clothing is our guarantee.
