    Begin your bespoke Kyoto journey at an exclusive studio in the historic heart of the ancient capital. Whether solo, a couple or a family, this private experience is crafted 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. Explore Higashiyama's atmospheric streets with a professional photographer in your own outfit — no kimono included. Receive curated retouched images plus all originals. Kimono or extended time can be added during booking.

    2. All-Inclusive Luxury Kimono & 1-Hour Photoshoot
      Our most exclusive experience. Choose one exquisite garment from our full premium collection — formal furisode, elegant houmongi, our rarest silk and master-crafted pieces, with no limits on style or rarity — with a one-hour private photoshoot. Best suited to guests of 160cm and above; 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 original digital photos 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 full dressing, 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
    Meticulous dressing, basic hair styling (for sufficient hair length) and all accessories, from our extensive collection for women and men.

    YOUR DAY WITH US
    Your booking time is your studio arrival. Please allow about two hours for dressing and hair styling before your photoshoot. Then step into Kyoto's timeless streets with your professional photographer and English-speaking guide, on a personalised route through the iconic Gion district and serene Yasaka Shrine. With local expertise, we lead you away from crowds to tranquil, cinematic hidden alleys.

    IMPORTANT — PLEASE NOTE:

    • All add-ons and upgrades must be selected during booking. Nothing can be added on-site on the day.
    • Hair styling upgrades are only available with a kimono booking, as our hair designs are created specifically for the kimono.
    • Extra retouched photos are only available with a photoshoot booking, as retouching is part of the photoshoot service.
    • Retouched photos are allocated per booking, not per person — shared across your group regardless of group size. Extra retouched photos may be added through GetYourGuide.
    • In peak seasons, popular spots may involve a brief pause — a natural part of shooting in Kyoto's historic streets. Your photographer stays fully focused on your group.
