I had the pleasure of joining the Kyoto Kimono Experience, which included a beautiful kimono rental, a limousine ride, and an exquisite kaiseki meal. The entire experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto. The kimono shop, located near Kyoto Station, offered a great variety. With help from the friendly staff, I chose a vibrant yellow kimono, while my friend opted for a striking black one. They provided accessories, geta sandals, and ensured my kimono was comfortably tied. I felt stunning and ready for the day! Our driver and guide were welcoming, helping us pose with props like a katana and umbrella. The drive to the restaurant was about 25 minutes, relaxed, and full of photo opportunities. At the restaurant, we were warmly greeted and led to a beautiful Japanese-style room. The kaiseki meal was delicious, featuring some of the best sushi I’ve tasted. Portions were light, as they accompany a tea ceremony, and the chef’s greeting added a special touch. Overall, the Kyoto Kimono Experience, Kaiseki Dining & Limousine Ride was truly memorable. The friendly staff, lovely kimonos, and incredible food made it an unforgettable day. This is a luxurious and immersive way to enjoy Japanese culture!

Dining Experiences
An amazing experience! The ryokan is simply amazing and the houseki and houmoku outdoor onsens are one of a kind. We also really appreciated the novelty of the rooms and the private baths in each of the rooms we were allocated. Each room has a ton of character and is very comfortable. The inn itself is beautiful and really takes advantage of the natural surroundings. Definitely enquire about the wasabi experience. Our guide (Chiharu) was so wonderful and we got to pick our own wasabi and had some freshly ground wasabi on delicious rice that they prepared on the spot. Be warned that its not really accessible for anyone with mobility issues - but if you are up to it, its a one of a kind experience.
