About this experience
Ookini Kimono has been deeply rooted in Kyoto for 7 years. Its staff are known for their friendliness and kindness, which is often cited by many customers as a key positive point. It is also a kimono experience store that practices "transparent pricing with no extra charges."
Since March 2024, Ookini's 5 branches have been successively listed on Klook. As of June 2025, they have accumulated over 25,000 orders and served over 50,000 travelers from Korea, Hong Kong, China, Europe, and the United States. On average, over 120 customers trust them daily.
Ookini Kimono also thoughtfully provides several free services, including: transparent pricing with no extra charges, free inter-store returns, free hotel returns, free luggage storage, free umbrella and warm jacket rentals, and free kimono stain insurance, allowing every customer to enjoy their experience with peace of mind.
If you are hesitant about your kimono choice, it is recommended to book the "600+ Styles Optional Plan." You can also freely upgrade according to your preferences upon arrival at the store (just pay the difference).

Ookini sincerely states:
We highly value our customers' experiences and would like to address negative reviews and areas that are easily misunderstood.
1. "Furisode and Houmongi" are traditionally worn for ceremonies such as weddings in Japan, so their craftsmanship is very luxurious. Ookini's inventory is superior in the industry, attracting customers who are proposing, on their honeymoon, or looking for beautiful photos.
2. Therefore, customers who book kimonos/yukatas may see others experiencing "Furisode and Houmongi" and easily misunderstand that "beautiful clothes cost extra money." In reality, these do not belong to "kimono/yukata."
3. Individual staff members have excessively recommended "Furisode and Houmongi" to customers who booked photography sessions (believing they are more suitable for keepsakes). This has been internally rectified, and we apologize to our customers for this!
4. Please note that some plans do not include elaborate hairstyles, makeup, or photography (the title indicates the scope of business).
5. Misunderstandings regarding "kimono upgrade to furisode obi" and "men's hakama" have been addressed by providing booking options in the plans.
6. A very important point: Please believe that kindness, friendliness, and valuing customer happiness are always Ookini Kimono's calling cards; moreover, transparent pricing is our persistence, and refusing assembly-line production and meticulously handling every fold of the garment is our guarantee.
