Neighborhood: Gion
Gion is Kyoto's famed Geisha District (called "Geiko" in Kyoto). Though Gion's many tea houses and entertainment restaurants are closed to foreigners, Geiko and Maiko in their traditional makeup with gilded hair in full kimono can be seen drifting the streets on their way to and from work, where they fan dance, sing, and play instruments for customers. Gion lights up at night, when the ancient-looking streets glow with lanterns along the river, where weeping willows catch the starlight and the air is warmed with conversation. Groups pass through to populate the restaurants and bars along the riverfront, but Gion still manages to be a mostly quiet district, due in large part to limited automotive traffic through many of its streets. Gion is a wonderful place to indulge in Kyoto's local and customary cuisines, and is best enjoyed after dark.

Hachimitsu kimono rental offers a few different options, firstly you choose whether you want a basic, premium or "princess" kimono - the differences are the price and the patterns/ materials of the kimono. After you've chosen what colour scheme you want to go with, they fit you with the kimono and then you can choose what bag you want to take with you. For an extra 1500 yen, they will style your hair and you have the option of hair accessories (extra again).
It was a nice clean studio they work in, quite a few different patterns of kimono to choose from although I wouldn't say it was extensive. The men's range was minimal. All in all it was a fun experience and would recommend for all.
