Dress as a Kyoto maiko in a small group, choose from 100 kimonos, get pro hair and makeup, then enjoy a guided photoshoot plus optional strolling.

“The experience made me feel very feminine. The make-up artist and the photographer are really masters of their trade. The process gave a glimpse of the intricacy of maikos’ make up and dress up process. As I took strolling option I could walk around the Gion district and received so many compliments of people saying “you are so beautiful”. Many also wanted to make pictures with me. I must say that wearing kimono makes you move more elegantly. Oh, and pictures were simply… marvelous! I definitely suggest this experience and regard it as one of my highlights of visiting Japan.”

Satoshi was friendly, shared lots of good insight and tips about our surroundings, and gave us good direction for posing. Everything felt comfortable and he showed us the shots in his camera after he took them, so I knew they were going to turn out great, and they did! He delivered the pictures the next day and we are very thankful to have such amazing memories of a beautiful stay in Japan.”
