Kyoto

No trip to Japan is complete without visiting the ancient capital of Kyoto. How about turning Japanese for the day?

(That's me!)

For a reasonable price of around 10,000 yen you too can be transformed in to a Japanese beauty. Choices available are Maiko san, Geisha, or Samurai. The price mentioned above covers the dressing up and 6 (5x7inch) portrait photos.

The studio's site is Studio Shiki
They also have a studio in Tokyo for those who can't get down to Kyoto.
As the studio is very busy servicing over 50 people a day it is essential to make a booking.

It's a fun way to spend the day. And they also encourage you to bring your cameras as well so you can share your experience with others.

Please check their website for their location and contact details.
