The admission fee of JPY 900 also includes matcha and wagashi! 👘👘Highlights: Experiencing kimonos in Kyoto is a must. Each season in Kyoto has its own unique beauty. To better capture its unique beauty, we chose to rent a kimono for a day and take photos along the way. There are many kimono rental shops on the street near Fushimi Inari Shrine. Compared with the prices near Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the prices here are almost half the price, which is a blessing for those on a budget. Kirari Kimono Shop is highly recommended online for its cost performance and clothing styles. You can rent a kimono for only JPY 3,000! 📌Tips: 1️⃣ You can make an online reservation or go directly to Kirari Kimono Shop. 2️⃣ The price of a regular kimono is JPY 3,000, and the price of a furisode is only JPY 7,000! Students can also get a JPY 500 discount. There are many styles of regular kimonos, including the popular lace style. The price includes a hairstyle, and you can choose from six styles. After you make your choice, the staff will help you put on the kimono, which takes about an hour. 3️⃣ There is no Chinese service in the store, but you can communicate in simple English. Makeup services are not provided. It is best to bring your own shoes, as walking long distances in clogs can be tiring. 4️⃣ The best place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hosen-in Temple is the Panhuan Garden. The panoramic view is like a framed garden, where you can enjoy a 270-degree view. You can enjoy the famous 700-year-old five-needle pine tree and maple leaves during the maple season while drinking tea and eating fruit. The exquisite Baole Garden, stone steps, plants, water wells, curved bridges, streams, and bamboo forests are all beautiful like oil paintings when paired with kimonos. 🖼️
