Kimono Rental in Kyoto - A perfect work flow

Kimono rental in Kyoto is something every tourist should experience upon visiting! 
I went to "Yume Yakata", located conveniently in the downtown area of Kyoto. 
For just $60 (USD), I was able to rent a whole winter outfit + perfect hairdo! 

The experience was one which was quite interesting...First of all, the rental place is located in a building - Surprinsingly enough, the inside of the building was a fully functioning factory! 

Here's how it went:

1. 1st floor - Reception / Waiting area 
2. 2nd floor - Pick your kimono! (You can get help too), and pay
3. 3rd floor - A professional will help you wear the kimono. In a huge room with a bunch of other girls getting changed. (~20 minutes)
   
4. 4th floor - Pick your bag (which goes with the kimono) and place your belongings into their locker system
5. 5th floor - Hair set!

The whole experience was super efficient (Yep, we're in Japan) and my boyfriend ended up having to wait only 40 minutes.
You can rent the kimono for the whole day (until  7pm) and they also have sets for men :)
