(Tourist) As soon as the shop opend I asked if they had an open spot for the day, since I didn't reserve.
I got lucky and they welcomed me in right away
They were very friendly and were able to speak english! I always have issues on deciding what I want but they helped me finding the right fit, patiently.
I bought the One Star Kimono and One Star Hairstyle.
I can only recommend it since it's very close to the garden and the castle. ??
(Little tip if you want to walk around alot in the kimono - take your sneakers with you because after some time the wooden shoes can hurt, I was simply not used to it ??)
