The area around mimosa is home to many quintessential Kyoto attractions within walking distance, including Ichinen-zaka, Ninenzaka, Kodaiji Temple, Yasaka Koshin-do, and the area around Yasaka Tower.
If you'd like to capture some photos even during a short visit, we also recommend our 30-minute photo session plan.

If you're interested in photography, we recommend our photo shoot packages.
You can choose from options such as 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 2 hours, depending on what you'd like to capture. We can take photos at popular spots near mimosa, including Ninenzaka, Yasaka Koshin-do, Kodaiji Temple, and the area around the Yasaka Tower.

Yes, that's fine.
Our staff will help you put on your kimono, so please feel free to visit even if you don't know anything about kimonos. We also have all the necessary accessories available at the store.

It typically takes about 20 minutes to put on a kimono.
However, if you include check-in, selecting a kimono, hair styling, and choosing accessories, it's best to allow 60 to 90 minutes in total. The time required may vary depending on how busy we are and the number of guests.

Styling your hair to complement your kimono will make you look your best in photos. We recommend this option for trips with friends, couples' photo shoots, and anniversary trips.

Depending on availability, same-day appointments may be possible.
However, we may not be able to accommodate requests during busy times. If you would like your hair styled, we recommend making a reservation in advance.

There is no need to wear special attire when visiting.
You are welcome to come in your everyday clothes. However, since you will be changing into a kimono, we recommend wearing something that is easy to take on and off.

Turtlenecks and hooded clothing can be difficult to change into. We recommend wearing simple, easy-to-put-on-and-take-off clothing whenever possible.

In winter, it's a good idea to wear a lightweight thermal undershirt for warmth.
However, wearing too many layers of thick clothing may affect the silhouette of your kimono. We recommend choosing a lightweight yet warm undershirt.
We also recommend using our optional winter shawl (880 yen).

Since Kyoto gets hot in the summer, it's important to take precautions against the heat.
Please wear breathable undergarments and stay hydrated while sightseeing. We also recommend taking breaks at cafes or in the shade rather than walking for too long.

We offer sizes ranging from kids' sizes up to 5L for both women and men, so the garments can be worn by people up to about 190 cm tall. If you are taller than that, the hem may be too short.
