The plan includes indoor photography, as well as Japanese makeup, semi-wigs, slack bands, kimonos and accessories. A professional photographer will give you advice on Maiko-san’s poses, so please relax and enjoy the shooting. The make-up staff and the photographer have decided the density of the make-up, etc. so that it looks beautiful when taken in the photo.
Photography takes 4 poses in the room. Please note that it is an option if you want to shoot in the garden or outdoors. After shooting, you can enjoy walking in Kyoto for about an hour with Maiko.

When you leave the store, you can start taking pictures right away because the view of Kyoto with the townhouses spreads out.

Nene no Michi, on the west side of Kodaiji Temple within walking distance, is a Kyoto-like spot with beautiful cobblestones. At the back of “Ishizuchikoji”, you can enjoy a calm atmosphere with ryokan and restaurants.
Gion Aya’s store is also a Kyomachiya, so please enjoy taking photos at the entrance. Access by train is also possible, but we recommend walking by taxi as we walk a little from the nearest station. Also, during the tourist season, the road is congested, and it may take an hour to arrive in 10 minutes.

Rental flow

Make a reservation on the web, and come to the store 10 minutes before the reservation time on the day.

If you want to make up after removing Japanese makeup, please bring your own makeup tools. The store offers shampoos, hair dryers, cleansings, facial cleansers, and basic cosmetics that you can use after your experience, but you can also bring your own everyday items.
Makeup and dressing can be completed in about an hour.

Then, take 4 poses in the room. Photos can be taken back to the album after the experience.

After the photographer has finished taking a photo, you can freely explore the city. Since you can take your own photos, you will be able to upload unusual photos to SNS.
