There are more and more shops for Kyoto kimono experience, and Yumekan kimono rental service is roughly the same as that of other shops. The dressing of the day is similar. Travelers can get gorgeous transformations, like Japanese people, shuttle through the quaint alleys of Kyoto with colorful kimonos. The experience is not discounted to give us a kind of shallow cultural experience, but it is a new taste of travel.In this article, I want to share the services and precautions of Yumekan, so that friends who want to experience wearing kimono, have a reference basis, follow me into the transformation!
How to complete the online reservation for Yumekan Kimono Experience?
This trip took advantage of the beautiful season of autumn leaves to have a kimono experience at the Dream Hall. I asked a friend who worked as a staff member, how many tourists would come here to change clothes during the day?He said a number that really scared me... "The maximum number of people on holiday is 1,000, but today is less than 800." Therefore, originally a friend wanted to follow me to experience wearing a kimono. It is impossible to add a temporary order. I strongly recommend everyone During the cherry blossom viewing season, you must make an online reservation service 2 to 3 months in advance. Do not go to the scene to arrange or inquire after you arrive in Kyoto.
Yumekan is a well-known and professional service store, and the reviews on the Internet are very good. When you are sure to go to the kimono dressing, first go to the official website and fill in "Online appointment form", after filling in each field one by one, press "SEND" and the store will receive the demand form. After confirming that the schedule and information are correct, a reply will be sent to your email box, and you can go there on the day of the appointment. (If you have any questions about the appointment, please leave a message on FB under the article!)

Transportation: How to get to the Dream Hall by transportation?
Yumekan 3 Hall (also known as Shinkan) is located in Shimogyo District, Kyoto. I checked the Chinese official website and there is no obvious traffic information. Instead, the Japanese version of the official website is quite clear, and there is even a video showing where to go after leaving the station. Go, you can go to their store.The following is the aggregated information:
- Municipal Subway: Get off at "Gojo Station" on the Karasuma Line and go straight for about 1 minutes after getting up from Exit 3.
- 市区巴士：5、26、80、101号巴士，在「乌丸五条バス停」下车步行5分钟
- Keihan Electric Railway: Get off at "Shimizu Gojo Station", go up from Exit 3 and walk for about 8 minutes to arrive

Yumekan Kimono pricing table is compiled.
I was worried that many people at the scene would not be able to pick the kimono they like, so I chose to pay 1,000 yen to arrive at the store at 9 o'clock (10 o'clock is the store's business hours, and 9 o'clock is the early opening service, so you have to pay), as soon as you arrive at the door Two staff members asked for the name of our appointment. One of them was a Chinese-speaking service staff (from Taiwan and China), who led us to the second floor to choose clothes and (boys are on the first floor).
The difference between Yumekan and Okamoto fabrics is that Yumekan is billed by items while Okamoto fabrics are covers. I will sort out the billing of Yumekan's kimono as follows:
-Kimono for boys and girls: 2,500 yen (tax excluded)
-Color embroidery half-line: 500 yen (tax not included)
-Belt Taiko Knot: 1000 yen (tax not included)
-Decorative strap: 200 yen (tax not included)
-Nagabaori rental: 500 yen (tax excluded)
-Gorgeous sleeves: 16,250 yen (tax not included)
-Female hair design:
* [6 options 1 plan]: Advance reservation price 1,500 yen (tax not included)
* [Designated hairstyle]: 3,000 yen (tax excluded)
* [Traditional Japanese style]: 5,000 yen (tax excluded)

The process, experience and precautions of the Dream Hall change-up.
When we go up to the second floor, there will be a service staff asking about the height and telling which kimono size to choose. There are many people at the scene. It is recommended that you have your own ideas before you go. Here you can quickly pick your favorite color. For example, I have consulted with photographer friends before departure, and avoid choosing red or green color under the red leaves. My idea came out of the following idea~
– Main color: Considering the light and soft feeling and matching the color of my husband’s kimono, choose plain and blue colors
– Accessories color: mainly contrast yellow, preferably bright yellow
There are quite a lot of colors in the dream hall kimono, and the staff are constantly sorting out new costumes. They are dazzled just by the shelves. I don’t want to compress the time for taking pictures, so I quickly picked a light blue kimono with bright yellow embroidery. Nun and blue flower belt (for an increase in price, choose Taiko Knot), and the husband also chose a checked kimono, and then lined up to check out. The two of us can pay by credit card for more than 3,000 yen! (Good mile plus... because the Japanese currency exchange is a little bit less, I'm afraid it won't be enough to eat, drink and have fun in the next few days @@")
I just mentioned that there are really a lot of people, and we need to queue up for the master to help dress. Let’s take a white shirt and foot bag before the dressing room, and look inside... There are about 13 masters expertly helping each one on the spot. People change clothes. Every girl is really beautiful after putting on a kimono, so she waited while sliding her phone, and it was my turn soon.I would like to remind everyone here that you should not bring too much carry-on luggage on the day. First, you have to carry clothes, luggage, and kimono and dress. Second, the luggage will be stored in the store. Don't cause trouble for yourself, pay attention!
