My husband and I rented electric bicycles from Kyoto Eco Trip for two days and had a great experience. The bike were in good shape and they came with a double battery so that we could keep them overnight and the bikes would stay charged. Eguchi-san was so helpful, he suggested the best bike routes and even found covered bike parking near our hotel. Kyoto Eco Trip offers a bag drop service so we were able to get off the train, rent the bikes and begin to explore Kyoto right away. Later in the evening, when we arrived at our hotel, our bags were there waiting for us. It was a great experience.

I rented a bike from dinner today- it was amazing! I was helped by very friendly staff who asked about where I was heading, recommended some additional stops, mapped out a route for me, and gave me the map and handy tips on how to get around Kyoto by bike! I had a wonderful day. The bike was such a great way to get around. Sometimes bike parking isn’t obvious but the fuune team had showed me where I would need to pay and where I could park for free. I got back to the shop after 6 and locked the bike up - hassle free. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough.

Kimono & Geisha Experience COCOMO

In television and film shooting, COCOMO has skilled staff to make up many actresses and actors. We always learn genuine technology independently. In order to make your eyes bigger, to make your face smaller, and to show you young, we sometimes use original special makeup with individuality. We resolve inferiority complex and transform it into another person. Especially white painting of OIRAN, MAIKO, GEISYA experience is deep. By applying a little time, the texture will be different. Traditional makeup is very difficult, so those who did not agree with other stores often come to COCOMO for a challenge again. These are also very popular with repeaters.At COCOMO, we will continue to offer at the lowest price so that customers can come close to famous kimono easily. COCOMO has abundant kinds and sizes of kimonos. Walking clothes, adult ceremonial kimono, HAKAMA of graduation ceremony, Shichigosan Kimono kimono, HAIKARA of Taisho Romant, wedding costume, OIRAN, MAIKO, GEISHA, SAMURAI.

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!!!!!

Awesome company, really good at guiding the right ski/ snowboard equipment based on your size and experience. A shuttle bus stops at a hotel which is pretty close Rhyme to measure sizes. Also helps that they can pick up your equipment from your hotel. I found them great because I had no idea on the equipment I needed and half of the employees speak English as first language.

This is one of the best parts of my Japan trip. They have a wide selection of kimono designs that are cute and fascinating. All of their staff were friendly and accommodating. The store can be find easily thru google maps. They also have talented hairdressers. It's a must try service since you get to try their traditional dress and you can take good photos in Sensoji temple. I booked my YAE experience at KKDAY. The transaction with them is also smooth. You just need to show the voucher. Will definitely recommend to friends and anyone.

I was tempted to Japan from Scotland by a surprisingly affordable airfare. Not a country I would have initially considered for a cycling holiday. Not wanting the hassle of bringing my own bike I opted for a bike hire and all roads led to Glowbalwheels. Even for me, a confirmed technophobe, everything from booking, payment, arrangements, bike pick-up etc. was straightforward and hassle free. I hired a road bike and it was ideal for my requirements, small frame in excellent condition. My 12 day route took me to Kyoto, around Lake Biwa, then a loop along the coasts of Mie and Wakayama. Usually staying a couple of nights (hostels and airb&B) in each location. Cycling in Japan was a revelation while the cities are a huge urban sprawl the countryside and coast is pure magic. All my concerns regarding language, food, traffic, costs were proved wrong. I would definitely do it all again and I have no qualms about recommending Globalwheeels, excellent service and a great bike.
