We love Kyoto and we love the world of the maiko! It is our pleasure to provide a lasting and fun experience through traditional Kyoto culture. At our studio you can turn yourself into a maiko complete with real traditional wigs, kimonos, obis, shoes and accessories. And then you can have a studio portrait taken, take your own photos and walk around on the amazing old streets that are just minutes from our front door. Our staffs extend a warm welcome to you. We are located in a traditional 100-year-old machiya townhouse, sitting in the heart of Kyoto's legendary Gion district. The most famous home of the maiko in all of Japan surrounded by traditional restaurants, ryokans, tea houses, shrines and more. Our make-up room and entire machiya townhouse is clean, comfortable and elegant. Our amenities and facilities were designed to create a perfect experience from start to finish. Let us turn you into a Japanese maiko. What to bring: - Your own cosmetics. We provide the cosmetics for the maiko experience but not for afterwards. - Your camera. We take studio photos but also give you time to take more photos on your own.
I can't rate this place enough. From start to finish it was an amazing experience. The staff were all lovely and very attentive. The experience flowed smoothly and I had the most amazing time. The make up was fantastic and there were many kimonos to choose from. The packages are very fairly priced and the photos you get at the end are fab. No one pushes you to buy anything extra, which makes you feel at ease. I'd go back and get it done all over again if I had the time. There was an apprentice photographer who was so sweet and gave me a special photo and origami for my birthday. I'd highly recommend the experience!!!!!

Why don’t you make your own souvenir of Kyoto. Hand-on pottery wheel experience. Process takes 20min. You can make your original cup or bowl. And you can choose the color you like. Baking takes about 3weeks, but don’t worry, we’ll ship it to your doorstep. In about a month and half time. Your work will pleasantly surprise you and remind you of your travel.
I found this unexpectedly whilst walking down the philosopher's path. I didn't have a ton of time but it said outside it only took 20 minutes, so it fitted in really well. It was a fun experience with a great teacher! I am very excited to receive my finished cup, it will make such a special souvenir. The international shipping is also pretty reasonable so it removes the stress of getting it back without breaking it. Definitely recommend!

I had a great experience at arare oiran! it is really close to kyoto station, so it was really easy to get there. all the staff were so nice to me and it was really easy to talk to all of them, even to the ones that didnt speak English. The fotographer was fluent in English, so i felt more comfortable during the shoot. The environment is also great and i felt really secure and beautiful with the make over. totally recommend if you are looking for this kind of experience in Kyoto.

Paint a kimono pattern like a kimono artist! You can paint fun while watching a sample. You can put the finished picture postcard to the frame on the spot and take it home. Please create your own original postcard by all means in commemoration of Kyoto trip! Since this workshop is located near Kiyomizudera, Sanjusangendo and Kyoto National Museum, you can feel free to drop in on the way of sightseeing.
I would happily suggest this experience to anybody looking to do something a little different. Kyosuke san and Yoko san are truly wonderful people and I had such any amazing time in their studio with it's beautiful views over the mountains. The patience and dedication Kyosuke san has for his craft is admirable and his kindness and encouragement made me feel I was talented beyond my actual abilities. Thank you for an amazing time.

It was a lot of fun and a really nice experience, I totally recommend it. The staff and the artisan were really kind to explain all about the bamboo. We were able to cut and take 2 cups and I participated in the chopstick workshop as well, lovely! I am enjoying them at home very much. The scent is amazing. I would like to learn and make more! It's a unique experience, fun, easy, and you are able to connect with nature through tradition. ❤️

Even after more than 1,000 years, the buildings that line the path along the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto still evoke resonances of the ancient capital. Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka in particular retain remnants of ancient Kyoto and have been designated an important area by the city of Kyoto. Shiki’s Head Shop is located along the long stone-paved street of Ninenzaka which is closed off to the traffic. Since our opening, we have continued to uphold our spirit of hospitality by helping our foreign customers in particular create fond memories through their wonderful experience of Japanese traditional culture. Our highly skillful makeup, kimono fitting and photography staff work together to create ultimate beauty for our customers. We have staff members who can speak English, Chinese, to help our customers feel at ease.
