Kyoto: 2-Hour Maiko Makeover and Photo Studio Shoot

Kyoto: 2-Hour Maiko Makeover and Photo Studio Shoot - Choosing your kimono: colors, seasons, and comfort

3.2-Hour Maiko Makeover and Photo Studio Shoot

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 122 reviews · from $152

Kyoto maiko makeover in an AC studio with authentic kimono, makeup, wig styling, and professional photos. 2 hours, 5 digital images.

“The metamorphosis was a great experience itself: make up, kimono choice and dressing up in full Maiko gear. All in friendly atmosphere. And then the photoshoot with kind and professional photographer. I received ready photos earlier than expected and the result was phenomenal. What's important is that the photo session takes place in a professional studio (AC) and not anywhere outside, which is a bonus given temperature/humidity outside (2nd half of April) and a full make-up/heavy kimono on. I would deffinitely repeat the experience and I highly recommend.Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3 reviews · 2 hours · from $54

A 2-hour English guided tour of Kyoto’s Nijo Castle with palace highlights, UNESCO architecture, garden time, and photo stops.

“Very interesting and fun tour with my guide Seana. Plenty of time to focus more in detail to some of the spots within the castle or Ninomaru palace. It was fun to find together with Seana the "floating peacock" panel in Ohiroma Ni-no-ma (second room) within Ninomaru palace that is not visible from the beaten track.

It was interesting and I enjoyed the tour very much, highly recommend! Only one remark, GtG should include an…”
