Què farem?
After meeting at Jam Jar Lounge & Inn, we will take a brief stroll to meet our dresser & kimono expert Ms Mayphy Higashi.
After a short consultation & discussion with your dresser regarding various skin types, makeup, hairstyles etc, it’s time to choose your kimono. Your dresser will guide you through the various choices until you both agree on the perfect kimono and accessories for you. Of course to complete the ensemble the appropriate hairstyle must be perfected and adorned with the appropriate seasonal ornaments. Securing a kimono can often take up to 30 minutes for females, and 20 minutes for males. During this time there is ample opportunity to engage with your dresser to learn about the different styles of kimono and their histories.
When fully dressed, and after undertaking a trail walk in traditional “zori” shoes, it’s now time to go public and mingle with the locals. Accompanied by your dresser, you will take a short walk from her house to the oldest Geisha district in Kyoto. It is here in Kamishichiken, with it’s ancient wooden buildings and cobbled laneways, that you will find the perfect photo to remember your Japanese "couture" experience.
Other things to note
From 1 June - 30 September, we will also offer a lighter version of the Kimono called a "Yukata". Yukata are traditionally worn by Japanese during the summer months. Please advise when booking.

Hi my name is Danny. Born in Australia, I have had a 25 year love affair with Japan, it's people & it's culture. Having previously lived in Tokyo, I moved to Kyoto 3 years ago. Like many visitors to Kyoto I immediately fell in love with the cities history, temples & of course "Kimono". Thanks to the generosity and skill of my local neighbourhood ladies, dressing in the national costume is now available to everyone. This is a unique opportunity to not only experience the "kimono", but to learn of its origins and history from the very people that have worn them since childhood.

Amazing and unique experience. Mayphy-san is really sweet! She did our hair so nicely and explained the different parts of the kimono well while dressing us. She also showed us some nice spots around the neighbourhood (a temple, a nice wall with good lighting) to take pictures — she took some really beautiful ones of my daughter, husband and I! When we did this, an antique market was being held, so she walked us through the market and told us what they were selling and the story behind it. We really enjoyed this experience — thank you Mayphy-san!

This experience was exceptional, heart warming and empowering. Learning the history and learning the process and details behind the Kimono made it all the more special over simply getting a rental. Also Mayphy helped me to take some great photos for me and picked some great spots!! Highly recommend, also definitely go back to Jam Jar Cafe for something to eat too, delish and the place is just so cool!! Thank you Mayphy and Danny!!!

Really cute and different experience compare with dressing in a kimono store. Ms Mayphy Higashi will share her own beautiful collection with you, she is professional in kimono and also an awesome jazz musician.
Recommend this unique experience to everyone! :-)
