Hand Cream Customization Experience

At the flagship CHEF de BEAUTÉ Kyoto, the Hand Cream Customization Experience has become a massive hit, often resulting in long lines. Now, this popular experience comes to the easily accessible JR Kyoto Isetan. No reservations are needed! Participants will have the opportunity to select their preferred textures, scents, and packaging to create a truly unique hand cream, personalized just for them. Each cream is crafted in their presence by skilled 'beauty chefs', ensuring an unmatched sensory experience.

The exquisite textures and harmonious scents are designed to resonate with each individual's feelings, creating a deeply satisfying experience. With finely tuned senses, attendees will discover a new level of comfort and luxury in their skincare routine.

Discover Beauty Tips: The 'Obi Kuji Experience'

In addition to the hand cream experience, participants can also partake in the 'Obi Kuji Experience', where beautiful tips resonate with a graceful outlook on life. The brand ambassador, Kohaku, embodies CHEF de BEAUTÉ's philosophy, as her beauty consciousness inspires the hints shared in the lottery-style experience. Everyone will have the chance to receive fabulous gifts, adding an element of surprise and enjoyment to their visit!

Exclusive Kits and Stamp Rally

The POP UP SHOP will feature three specially curated JR Kyoto Isetan exclusive kits for sale during the event. Additionally, the first 100 customers making purchases over ¥5,500 will receive a 'Comforting Hand Towel' as a complimentary gift, making this a perfect opportunity to grab some exclusive items.
