Kyoto: Maiko Makeover and Photoshoot Experience - Price, Time, and What You Actually Get Back

1.Maiko Makeover and Photoshoot Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 239 reviews · 2h 30m · from $140Our pick

Kyoto maiko makeover and photoshoot in a studio near Kiyomizu-michi. Choose kimono, get makeup and photos, plus DATA and prints.

“The experience made me feel very feminine. The make-up artist and the photographer are really masters of their trade. The process gave a glimpse of the intricacy of maikos’ make up and dress up process. As I took strolling option I could walk around the Gion district and received so many compliments of people saying “you are so beautiful”. Many also wanted to make pictures with me. I must say that wearing kimono makes you move more elegantly. Oh, and pictures were simply… marvelous! I definitely suggest this experience and regard it as one of my highlights of visiting Japan.”

Definitely book a session with Micky, he was very easy to communicate with and work with!”
