Kyoto Private Kaiseki Dinner at Traditional Restaurant with Maiko Dance Show

A real classy experience

Reviewed by: Wesley

Had an awesome time and would highly recommend. The restaurant is gorgeous and the staff extremely hospitable. The kaiseki dishes were very well liked by the three of us and their proprietary sake was excellent.

Our interpreter Peter was super chill and knowledgeable. Lastly our maiko, Kana Sue was fascinating to watch - the makeup, hair style, kimono, and all the meanings behind each intention of dress; the couple of dances she performed; and the hospitality services. Not to mention learning of her and many other girls' extremely committed lifestyle choice and what that entails to become a geisha was an eye opening seminar.

I would have liked to see some singing and instrument playing, but perhaps requesting a geisha over a maiko would have been prudent. An interpreter is necessary unless your fluent. Overall it was a highlight of my trip and I would do again.

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Absolutely Amazing Night Out Experience!

Reviewed by: Kyoto Dream

A really memorable and amazing experience with this Maiko Dance and dinner tour. We were escorted to a beautiful and spacious dining hall at Shozan Resort Kyoto. It is an incredibly lovely resort with a beautiful Japanese garden. A traditional and a delicious Japanese dinner was served. (Menu: Saki dzuke “appetizer”, Ha sun “ha-sun assortment”, Otsukuri “sliced raw fish”, Ipoin “a dish”, Konami “small saucepan”, Agemono “fried food”, Gohan “rice”, Kounomono “pickle” , Mizumono “dessert”, While we were enjoying our dinner, a stunningly beautiful Maiko (her name is Kimisora, the meaning of her name is dream) came out onto the stage and performed a brief dance. Kimosora san talked about some geisha history and her own stories of how and why she becomes a Maiko. Kimosora san was fascinated about geisha and their stories when she was a kid and determined to become a geisha one day. She is a friendly and sweet and elegant lady. Her English is excellent. She also showed us her extraordinary beautiful kimono and her special makeup and hairdo. Surprisingly we were given an extra long Q and A time (at least 30 mins or so) with her and we could ask any questions. She answered every question attentively and precisely. At the end we could all take several photos with her. (A reminder to myself : never touch the geisha hands or their clothes and this is an absolute respect to a geisha). During the whole meeting I could also take many photos freely. Kimisora san gave us her name card at the end of the dinner. It was a really really wonderful and memorable evening. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to meet a maiko in an extremely relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. If I ever visit Tokyo in the future I would join this tour again. A great and joyful life experience. My best wishes to Kimisora san and thank you Veltra for making my dream come true.

Kyoto Private Kaiseki Dinner at Traditional Restaurant with Maiko Dance Show

An experience of a life-time!

Reviewed by: M.H.S.

We went into it without prior knowledge of the venue, the actual setup or the details of the experience, and i was at awe of the arrangement and the experience, truly a once of a life-time experience you cannot miss if you plan to visit Kyoto!

The venue was superb, the restaurant being reserved solely for us, a genuinely private experience. However, I have to note that the initially, it wasn't a pleasant start due to a misunderstanding by the host restaurant staff. As the lead of the group I approached the front door of the venue, only to be shouted at by an elderly male saying that this is private and i have to leave. I tried to approach him to show him my reservation as i was trying to explain that we are the ones who booked the venue but his attitude got more aggressive and did not want to hear anything i had to say. I was not going to start the experience with conflict so i left and got in touch with the emergency number on the voucher, who immediately resolved the issue and the man later apologized for his behavior. I understand that tourist have been a bit of a hassle lately for Kyoto and hence do not take it personally, however for future reservations, please note of this and don't let it ruin your day.

As for the main experience, there are no words to summarize how magical, pleasant and lovely the rest of the evening was. The translator, an expert in Geisha Tradition was superb, providing us with a detailed history of the tradition and guiding us on how to enjoy the experience as it plays out. The shimasen, Gecko, Geisha and Maikos made us feel like honorary guests and provided us with the most authentic and personal experience we have ever enjoyed, a lovely mix of dance, song, food, entertainment and conversation. Although i say it is a once in a life-time experience, i will definitely book when i visit the country again!

平日の12:00に東観荘へ伺いました。個室に案内され既にテーブルが用意されていました。飲み物と前菜が出された後に舞妓さんが登場して、踊りを2曲披露してくれました。その後に舞妓さんとおしゃべりを色々させてもらいました。まだ18歳くらいの舞妓さんらしく、笑顔がとても可愛いらしい感じでした。何を話そうか事前に質問事項などを考えてきましたが、質問のネタも尽きてしまうくらい、あっという間の2時間でした。

お料理、川床、舞妓さん全て最高でした！

Reviewed by: 国内旅行初心者

海外からの親戚が来日。初めての京都ということで、何か特別な思い出になれば、と申し込みました。同行する私と子供は５ヶ月前に京都旅行をしたばかり。。私たちにとっても普通の京都旅行では経験しないことを、と思い、夏ということもあり、川床の夕食にしました。夏に京都に行くなら川床にいきたい、と常々おもっていました。舞妓さんにも会える日程ということで、親戚にはどんな夕食か詳しく説明せず、サプライズにしました。
選んだすき焼きはボリュームたっぷり。お肉も柔らかく美味しい。川床も涼しく、虫の声が涼しげ。川面に写る提灯も情緒たっぷり。そして可愛らしい舞妓さんがにこやかに応対してくれ、写真もたくさんとらせていただきました。スタッフのかたも写真を撮ってくれたり、お茶などのおかわりも、すぐ快く対応してくれました。バスの運転手さんもとても愛想のいいかたでした。外国人の親戚にも、子供にも大好評で、大正解でした。舞妓さんの踊りを間近で見ることができ、素敵な思い出になりました。またぜひ行きたいです！

It was amazing.

Reviewed by: Tiger

I had the pleasure of attending an ozashiki, a traditional Japanese banquet, and was fortunate enough to be in the company of Maiko San, a skilled and talented geisha-in-training. The experience was simply unforgettable, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

From the moment I arrived, Maiko San's warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. Her stunning kimono, intricate hair and makeup, and graceful movements transported me back in time to a world of beauty and elegance.

Throughout the evening, Maiko San entertained us with her exquisite dancing, singing, and music. She played a variety of traditional Japanese instruments, including the shamisen and the koto, and her skills were truly awe-inspiring.

But what really stood out to me was the way in which Maiko San engaged with everyone at the ozashiki. She took the time to chat with each of us individually, answering our questions and sharing stories about her life as a maiko. Her warmth and charm were infectious, and I felt privileged to have been able to spend time in her company.

Overall, my experience at the ozashiki with Maiko San was simply magical. It was a unique and authentic glimpse into a world that few outsiders get to experience, and I left feeling inspired and enriched. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Japanese culture and tradition.

舞妓さん芸妓さんとじっくり話ができました！

Reviewed by: クリキー

数ヶ月前に舞妓さんと少しお話しする機会があり、その際の歴史や文化だけでなく人としての魅力もあり是非今度はゆっくりお話ししてみたいということで今回申込ました。

円山公園内の敷地にある静かな料亭で鱧づくしをいただきながら、芸妓さん舞妓さんの舞とお話しを堪能させていただきました。話が楽しすぎてご飯を食べるのが大変でした。

感染予防もしっかりされていることに加え、ノンアルコールでのお食事でした。

最初は慣れないかなり贅沢な広さかつ、お客さんの少ない時期でもあり静かな空間で、舞妓さん芸妓さんと4人、お酒もないこともありかなり緊張してスタートしました。

こちらがかなり緊張していたので、舞を見ている間やお互い最初はぎこちない感じでしたが、お2人の様々なお話をお伺いするうちにすぐにごみました。

コロナ禍での舞妓さんや芸妓さんのお仕事の状況の大変さや、足元のオリンピックの話、これまでのご経験やこれからの夢など、普段知ることのないことも含めてお話しをさせていただき、とても良い経験になりました。

舞妓さんのコロナ禍での大変さや、英語の流暢な芸妓さん、そして80歳を超えてなお現役の芸妓さんのお話しなど、昔からの変えてはならない風習や文化と、時代に合わせて変えていく部分など、色々と考えさせられることもあり大変勉強になりました。

どうしてもコロナ禍でのお仕事の機会が減ったり外出制限など、已む無く辞めてしまう方もいらっしゃるようですが、大変な中ですが是非この素晴らしい文化を継承してほしいですし、応援したいと思います。

また、是非季節を変えて、また参加してみたいです。

また最後になりましたが、veltraさんのご担当者には2ヶ月前より色々とご無理申し上げ、ご調整いただき大変感謝しております。おかげさまで大満足の経験でした。本当にありがとうございました。

Too expensive for such a performance

Reviewed by: Azadeh Iranian

The geisha was so amateur, she was shaking while dancing. Nobody explained the way we should eat the traditional food.
On the way back, the tour leader was just speaking Japanese and didn’t care about foreigners attendants. She was speaking Japanese all the way back, and sometimes they were laughing or clapping and we as foreigners just waiting for some explanations but nothing.
In my idea it was a dishonor to non-Japanese guest. The tour provider company should provide the same Facilities for all guests. In General it was an expensive activity with poor facilities!

This was a great activity. The food and beer was delicious and filling and the entertainment was fantastic. We were able to talk with our Maiko for a few minutes and take a picture with her after her performance. We did not speak very much Japanese (only the very basics), but that did not diminish our experience. We had a great time, and it was nice we didn't have to spend a ton of money on one dinner like some other activities that are available with maiko. I would definitely recommend this if you'd like to meet a maiko and see her perform.

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Pleasent affordable geisha experience

Reviewed by: Leslie Arcin

Very convient pick up/drop off spot! Affordable Maiko experience, we chose this experience over parlor games/tea time because we wouldn’t know what to ask a geisha or if language barrier would be a problem. My sister and I enjoyed the performance very much. When we did it it was a small group and the tour leader was the best. One thing to take note is the experience is probably enhanced if you do speak Japanese or have someone that does so you can compliment the performance or ask the Maiko questions, but we knew this going in. Also the bus tour around town showing shrines and temples isn’t necessarily scenic, but rather a quick pass by of all the places (very easy to miss some spots if you don’t turn around quick enough) , but the view at the top of Osaka is worthwhile

宮川町　川久の叶季（かなすえ）さん。今年6月にお見世出し（舞妓デビュー）したばかりで初々しさ全開です！^ ^
舞妓初年生なので紅が下唇だけです。普段は花簪からぶらぶらと垂れ下がる飾りを付けますがこれも初年生だけです。
