Rikawafuku Kimono Dressing Staff

They had a rich variety of cute kimonos, obis, obi decorations, and collar decorations! The dressing was done so carefully.✨ I have short hair, so I didn't think I could get a hair arrangement, but they did a super cute bob-length arrangement for me! 💞

Rikawafuku Kimono Dressing Staff

Even in summer, you can choose from a wide range of yukatas and summer kimonos. It was great that you don't have to pick all your options at the start; they let you adjust as you go.♡ They gave great advice on tulle, obi, and hair accessories, so I had a lot of fun choosing with them! ^^ It was a wonderful start to my Kyoto sightseeing! If you're thinking of wearing a yukata or kimono, I highly recommend them!

All the staff were so nice! When I was stuck on which yukata to choose, they helped me coordinate, and the dressing and hair setting were super fast, so I wasn't worried about time. Just a note: they don't accept credit cards, so cash is a must! I'd love to use them again.

Reviews from overseas about the Arashiyama store

  • Nicely done both kimono & hair styling!

    Nicely done both kimono & hair styling! They offer men & women kimono in separate buildings but paying together would save u 10% for each couple.The price is relatively high in comparison with other stores (6000 yen vs 5000 yen) but the quality received is worth it.
    Note: cash only & top up required for extra accessorize

  • The girl showed us how to book, and using translation app it was not too bad.

    The girl showed us how to book, and using translation app it was not too bad. We booked for me and my 2 daughters. You are told what are extras and we got umbrella for 500 yen. It was good experience, even walked up to monkey park, bamboo forest and Otagi temple with the kimono. The hair styling is worth it! 60,00 yen with the hair. Can rent for whole day. Book online or through their QR code at the door. Thank you we had a great experience!

  • I highly recommend this shop for their service.

    We stumbled upon the kimono hire shop completely by accident, but we were looking for a place to hire for the day.
    We were offered prices for basic hire with and without hair styling and opted to get the hair styling as we wanted to look the part!
    The staff were very attentive and offered help with the choosing of kimono.
    We were then ushered up stairs where we were given bags to put our belongings and normal clothing in before stripping to our undergarments and donning traditional layers of dress. The staff were very efficient and meticulous with our presentation. We were quickly dressed and then sent to get our hair done. There were a range of styles and hair ornaments to choose from and the stylist was very efficient.
    We felt the price was extremely reasonable as it was all day hire and included hair styling, and i felt wonderful walking around Arashiyama.I highly recommend this shop for their service.
