Check-in at Momijiya or take the free shuttle bus

Located about an hour away from central Kyoto, Momijiya is a traditional villa tucked away in the mountains of Takao. Surrounded by maple trees, the lush greens and the river breeze create a cool escape from the hot summer heat. Relax by the riverbank as you spend a memorable evening.

Listen to the peaceful sounds of the river and the rustling leaves as you savor your dinner made with local and seasonal ingredients of Kyoto. Enjoy the fantastic scenery by the riverbed, which comes alive with hundreds of lanterns.

The elegant maiko of Kyoto are amazingly skilled entertainers, each training years to become a professional geisha. During your dinner, the maiko will make her graceful appearance as she performs a traditional dance. Watch as each of her movements are enhanced by her decorative kimono.

Until 19:50 the maiko will go around all the tables to say hello. Take this wonderful opportunity to snap a memorable photo with your camera or even have a short conversation. Please note that the maiko will not be able to speak English, but will do their best to make you feel comfortable.
