京都高雄 もみぢ家 川床ディナープラン 納涼川床料理+舞妓さんの京舞鑑賞日あり(2024/7/1~2024/9/22)<川床席確約/送迎あり/高雄>

アメリカンファミリー、日本での最高の体験でした。

Reviewed by: フライングピークス, 2024/07/26

京都での短い滞在期間で、日本を味わえるものを探しました。
海外からのゲストは、海外のゲストばかりのツアーは好みません
日本のお客様が楽しめるツアーを好みます。

川床は涼しくはなかったですが、とても素敵なロケーションで
舞妓さんの鑑賞もでき、とても価値のある体験ができ嬉しかったです。
家族のいい思い出になりました。

初めての参加でした
駐車場の心配を避けるためにバスを利用しました
現場には担当者もいて、親切に対応してくれて、
時間通りの出発で、予定通りに会場に入れました

人の多さに圧倒でしたが、案内人がそこかしこにいて不安なく指定席にたどり着き、待望の大花火に圧巻でした
素晴らしかった

満足です

シャトルバスは会場に2時間以上前に着き待ち時間が長かったのが辛かった。椅子席(A1)でしたが席無しでも良かったです。帰りのシャトルバス発車場所が暗くなっていたので分かり難かった。

京都高雄 もみぢ家 川床ディナープラン 納涼川床料理+舞妓さんの京舞鑑賞日あり(2024/7/1~2024/9/22)<川床席確約/送迎あり/高雄>

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, 2023/08/12

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!

夏らしい京都を感じたくネットで調べていたら、このサイトを見つけました。
京都市街地から約30分位かかりますがバス送迎あり、単独では行きづらいくらい山手の道も良くない場所なので楽でした。
また、川を目の前にした料理、舞妓さんとの会話、舞妓さんの踊りと予想以上に楽しめて本当に夏らしい京都を満喫して出来ました。

Thrilling Niseko Shiribetsu River Half-Day Summer Rafting Adventure

Great rafting experience

Reviewed by: Cnmarine, 2019/08/04

Although August is a poor time for rafting in Hokkaido as the water level is low and the it's so hot with extreme UV rays, the whole experience has been enjoyable and the guide, from Nepal, spoke great English and had great energy.

The whole activity can be enjoyed from young child to elderly as it's not very strenuous but is still alot of fun for beginner rafters involving alot of wetness and fun.

Recommends to bring a change of clothing when you get out of the water.

趣あるぅ~~♪

Reviewed by: エチゴヤ, 2019/07/18

当日は生憎の雨で少し涼しく感じられる天気でしたが、抜群のロケーションのなか川床で美味しい食事(すき焼きを選択)を頂きながら舞妓さんの舞やお話しでひととき現実逃避してきました~。(笑) もちろん写真撮影もバッチリいけますよ!

聞いたところ5つある川床のうち4つ入客あった様で舞妓さんも、上七軒から梅たえさん・ふみ幸さん 宮川町から菊弥江さん・叶季(かなすえ)さんの4名が来てくれてました。(時間の都合でふみ幸さんとはお目にかかれませんでしたが・・・悲)


なにより、スタッフのみなさんの気づかい心くばりも嬉しかったですね~・・・ここ、お薦めですよ!奥様~♪(笑)

  • 宮川町 花ふさの菊弥江(きくやえ)さん、年長さんなので白衿です。

  • 花簪(はなかんざし)も年長さんはひとつひとつが大ぶりです。

  • 年長舞妓さんは祇園祭期間中は普段の”おふく”から”勝山”に髷(まげ)が変わります。脇の渦巻き状のモノは梵天と言います。

  • 上七軒 梅乃の梅たえ(うめたえ)さん、来年は勝山どす~♪だそうです。年少さんなので花簪のひとつひとつが小ぶりです。

  • 舞妓さんと言えば”だらりの帯”・・・帯の下部にはお世話になってる置屋の家紋が入ってます。

  • 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。

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2024/7/1~9/30)

Lovely location, outstanding service, mesmerizing Maiko dancers

Reviewed by: jewon310, 2018/09/18

We missed the shuttle bus so taking a taxi was our only option. The Hotel Monterey Kyoto front desk was so kind and willing; she called the cab and informed the taxi driver where to drop us off which saved us a lot of time. The shuttle from the restaurant came out and met us about a mile away as the roads get narrow and difficult to find for drivers unfamiliar with that area. The cab fare came out to be about $35-40 from the Hotel (which was less than what I expected). I highly recommend catching the shuttle service on time (be there early as they will leave exactly on time!)-- not only it's more comfortable having someone drive you to the restaurant, but it will save you time and money.

The restaurant is located in a very secluded and quiet area, completely surrounded by nature. They will greet and walk you to your designated table. The guiding lights in the complete dark woods make the ambience more beautiful. All meals will come out in your eating pace... which is important because I eat pretty slow and sometimes course meals rush you to hurry up and eat. I wasn't sure how to eat fish properly (whether I was supposed to eat the whole entire fish or leave the head or tail), so the older lady came over and removed all the bones for me. Service was fantastic.

There were two Maikos that night-- both Maikos came around, very willing to take pictures and answer questions/ conversate with you. When they start their dancing, I couldn't help but to stare in awe. They look like walking dolls. They also had goodies before the show (i.e a fan, canvas bag, etc). It was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this tour. I want to do this again if I travel back to Kyoto in near future.

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2024/7/1~9/30)

Magical Evening

Reviewed by: Phyllis Viana, 2018/09/10

From the drive out of Kyoto Center up the cool hills past traditional tiled roofed houses, to our evening end with our gracious hosts smiling behind us as we walked back over the rope footbridge with the twinkling Japanese lanterns lighting the lush green river - A Magical Evening indeed.
Arriving at sunset, you see the beauty of the hot spring resort with our tables overlooking the river and mountain forest. We ordered the snow course (full- larger Kayseki) dinner. Traditional hosts (who speak only a little English) took us to our low tables set with course 1, gift Japanese fans and menu's in English. Sake and beer is additional. We had 2 Maiko's that evening, each separately visited all the tables to take pictures. (they speak Japanese, but can answer a little of English questions) Food was fresh, delicious and so artistically presented course by course. The beautiful dance & musical entertainment was lovely in the intimate setting. Each group had their own tables and the room is not too large. Splurge and treat yourself to this special experience.

Fantastic dinner and show

Reviewed by: Amy, 2018/06/24

My parents took this tour and had a wonderful time. The setting was beautiful and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect with nice warm weather. They really enjoyed the meal of Shabu Shabu and felt the meat was tender and delicious. They really enjoyed meeting the Maiko and admiring her beautiful clothing and make up as well as her dancing. They staff were all very friendly and the included transport back to their hotel was very convenient.

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2024/7/1~9/30)

Definitely a highlight of our trip

Reviewed by: Susan , 2018/06/15

We were so glad that we decided to purchase this dinner. The restaurant have an amazing view of the river and eating at the kawandoko (terrace on top of the river) is an experience not to be missed. We got the shabu shabu meal and it was perfect since when we went, it was raining and cold, so it was the perfect warming up meal for us.
The maiko came at around 7 and talk to each of the table, take photos and answer a few simple questions. She can't speak well in English, but she can understand if you speak basic English and very slowly. Then she performed 2 dances, they both very elegant and beautiful.
At around 8 pm, the restaurant switch off the lights, so that we can watch fireflies around the riverside. Apparently this is only happens in June. It was truely an amazing and unforgettable experience for both of us.
The pick up and return transfer is pretty efficient too, very happy overall. Definitely would recommend!

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Kim, 2017/08/28

I booked this for 2 people even though I was going alone, because it was the only way the website would accept the reservation. The day of the tour I had my hotel contact them to update my hotel pick up info, which also updated the number of guest. I was pleasantly surprised that they refunded the second ticket. The food and location were amazing, as was the meetings with the maiko and watching them dance. I wish there was a translator during your meeting with them. Since there wasn't, I only spent about 3-5 mins with each maiko whereas the tables of Japanese guests spent as much as 15 minutes with each of them. Otherwise, it was amazing.

Overnight Bus to Dynaland One Day Ski & Snowboard Tour (Kyoto/Osaka Departure)

Dynaland skitour / nightbus from Osaka

Reviewed by: Sami Laine, 2016/02/14

My review... Onegai shimase...
I ordered the tour before starting my trip from Finland to Osaka. The information provided was accurate and details explained well in English by Veltra. I also received an extra email with pick up position translated as it was initially only in Japanese. I don't speak Japanese (yet), but the tour staff (QuickLiner) was very friendly and taking care I found my place in the bus. There was a good break in the midway to skiresourt in a highway rest area where it was possible to buy food and have a 'service break'.

After arriving to Dynaland at about 5am people stayed in the bus waiting the lifts to open at 8am. The skiresort was open from 8am to 4.30pm (Friday). The tour had a lift ticket included for Dynaland lifts but it was possible to include also Takasu snow park (full mountain) lifts with only 500yen extra which really was worth of money. You also needed to pay 500yen deposit for the skisystem keycard, which was refunded when the returned the Keycard.

There are changing rooms and lockers (700yen) so you don't need to travel in skigears. The lockers are automatic and the instructions and functions are Japanese only but there were friendly co-skiiers who provided some help.

Skiing in Dynaland / Takasu was really great and despite my jetlag I had almost 10000m vertical during the day. There was no queus for the lifts and literally you were able to ski "directly to the chair" for the lift-up and your next run.

Dynaland / Takasu has good variety of slopes from beginner level to more advanced levels. I especially enjoyed the Challenge and Champion Routes.

I can recommend this tour if you are based in Osaka / Kioto and want to have a one day skitour nearby.
