What that price says
A preset kimono, obi, and bag. Plans include kimono, obi, drawstring bag, tabi, and sandals. Full hair styling is an extra ¥500 (tax excluded). At 10%, ¥2,980 is about ¥3,278 tax included. That figure is an estimate, not their published tax-included price.

Language
Their English column says menus are in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, and that staff who can speak English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean are available. Translation apps are also mentioned. It does not say every shop has a Korean speaker on every shift.
Note
Listed prices are tax excluded. Shops are around Kiyomizu, Gion, Yasaka, and Kodaiji. The Fushimi Inari shop’s “Korean-inspired design” is the interior, not a Korean language service.
