With our Kyoto Kimono Photo Plan, you can enjoy a truly special photo session while strolling at a relaxing pace through a charming, historic temple district.

Our friendly bilingual staff (speaking French and English) will provide complete, end-to-end support—from guiding you to the kimono rental shop and helping you select the perfect kimono that suits you beautifully, to accompanying you to the temple location and coordinating the shoot.

Through a close collaboration with our trusted partner rental shop, this premium experience is thoughtfully designed to ensure that even first-time wearers can immerse themselves in Japanese tradition with absolute comfort and peace of mind.
