[Japan 2017] First kimono dressing up experience in Kyoto! [Kyoetsu]
First kimono dressing up experience in Kyoto!
Kimono Rental Shop: Kyoetsu
👘⛩️
(scroll down to the bottom for the shop information)
☑ Cheapest price that I could find
☑ Kimono in good quality & beautiful patterns
☑ Staffs speak English well & very friendly
☑ Credit card payment is available
☑ Superb location (walking distance to Kiyomizudera)
Tips before and after you wear a kimono!
1. Use the toilet before changing!!
Just go or you will regret later :P
2. Don't eat food that high possibility to stain the kimono.
(However, I can't resist the temptation of a Matcha soft serve under the sun...)
Just make sure to be careful if you really need to eat something, !
You'll get fined if you make the kimono dirty.
3. Don't simply sit on the ground or somewhere dirty.
Especially when you're taking photos you won't realize that you're doing so. -_-
4. Don't hold your belly in while the staff is helping you with the sash (belt).
It wouldn't make you look slimmer but only make you feel uncomfortable >_<
The kimono includes various layers so it will make you look slightly "bigger" no matter how.
5. Ask the staff for "Osusume" (recommendation)
for anything to match with your kimono like the obi (sash) if you need advice.
6. Don't choose the smallest bag,
To suit my outfit, I finally chose a pink flower as the hair-dress.

as you might need to keep souvenirs that you buy later on.

The staff helped us to take a group photo in front of the shop.
My friend looked elegant in her black kimono, the pattern reminded me of cherry blossom in the night. Pink kimono looks adorable & lively too!
