Kyoto Private Dinner at Historical Teahouse with Maiko Dance Show

I chose this for a meal with clients, thinking that it would be something different from the everyday. I was concerned about the claims of actually having dinner with a maiko, but that was blown away as soon as I arrived! There she was, already waiting for our group to arrive. I also could not believe that she was really only in her late teens. Of course, she cut a cute figure, but more than that, she was extremely skilled at talking with everyone present. I had assumed she would have trouble joining conversations with older adults, but not at all. It isn't quite right to call this store a restaurant, but it isn't a shop either. It really is a traditional machiya, straight from the past, and a part of Japanese culture. The parlour was quite luxurious, too. Taking into account how much my clients enjoyed themselves, the value can't be beat, I would say. If I could come up with a reason to stop by and dine with the maiko of Kamishichikan even once a year, it would be fantastic. I will definitely return! <Translated by Veltra.com>
