Had a great Kimono dress up experience at Wabikae. Ono-San and his staff were friendly and inviting and had everything prepared for our large group (12 people). Very affordable too. If you're in the Osaka/Dontonbori area, check out Wabikae for a fun experience and some great photo opportunities. Located at the KTIC (Kansai Tourist Information Center) in Osaka.
Very thank you Dan and your family. It is our pleasure to have a fun and wonderful time at WABIKAE. Next time, please go around Shinsaibashi and Dotombori with kimono! See again!

I loved this experience!!!!!!!
We learned how to put on the Yukata (It is not easy) and make green tea (Delicious).
Teachers are very friendly and explain you everything you want to know.
It was rewarding having known this important aspect of the Japanese culture.
You can not leave Japan without this experience!!
I recommend it to 100%.

Where else can one do this? The staff is very accommodating. I speak no Japanese, but one of the girls, Satomi, spoke English very well. She was a dream! There are several colors kimonos to select from as well as obi and hair ornaments. Everyone gets a small locker to store your clothes/purse, etc. The photography session was lots of fun, laughing all the time.
I did have a little trouble finding the street and building, too, once I got on the correct street. A map or better written instructions would have been helpful. Also, maybe I missed it, but I didn't even seen a sign for this business? I wound up asking a local...who just happened to work there.
One other suggestion. The space to change clothes is very, very small. There were other clients in the small space, and the congestion was a bit difficult.
Overall, I'm so glad I did this. I learned a lot about the process & what it takes to be a Maiko. Satomi, you ROCK! Thanks so much for being so kind and helpful.
Thanks for coming!I'm Satomi,I'm glad that you've enjoyed our experience.
We're so sorry about our locker room.Since we only have a small space in our building, it's hard for us to get bigger space.
Our building is called"Machiya", it's build in 1900's so that's why we only have a small space.
"Machiya" is a Kyouto's traditional building,so many tourist love to see this.
Kyouto's street is very difficult to understand, sorry that we confused you.
Hope to see you again, thank you so much!

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. I learned so much about what it takes to be a Maiko. Satomi was the dresser/make-up artist who helped me. She spoke English, which enabled me to learn a lot about the process and what all is involved in becoming a Maiko. I highly recommend! My only critique is that is not so easy to find the location. More detailed maps/instructions would be very helpful.
