京都高雄 もみぢ家　川床ランチプラン 川のせせらぎに癒される川床料理（2024/6/1～2024/9/30）＜川床席確約／送迎あり／高雄＞

鮎の美味しさにびっくり

Reviewed by: おかちか, 2023/09/10

美しい緑、川のせせらぎ、虫の声、静かな笛の音、素晴らしい場所でした。
お店の方が、鮎の塩焼きを、どうぞ頭から召し上がって下さいと言われました。頭からとは、と半信半疑でした。
食べてびっくり、全く骨を感じず、パリパリと香ばしく身はふっくら、お店の方に感想をお話すると、頭から食べられるのは、鮎の大きさと、炭火でじっくり焼いているからです。と教えてくださり、納得でした。今までで、一番美味しかった鮎の塩焼きでした。食後は、友人たちとおしゃべりしながら、散策。冷たい川の水に足を浸したり。楽しく、美味しい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました!

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！

初の川床

Reviewed by: GGタツロウ, 2023/08/06

連日35度越えの猛暑の中どうなんだろう。
そんな心配をよそに川床は、風が抜けて非常に涼しく過ごさせていただきました。　
川魚は苦手ですが稚鮎の塩焼きは頭から食べました。皮目が美味く骨も気にならず美味しくいただきました。川の音を聞きながらビールをゴクリ。
昼から日本の夏ですね。
往路は送迎を利用しました。復路は230円の市バスを利用(時間かかりますけど)。市内と高雄までの距離感がわからずバスが便利なことが判らず残念。どこかに記述いただけたら嬉しかったです。
鳥獣戯画も見学して(お一人様1000円ですけど)
海外の方ともほぼ合わずゆっくりと過ごさせていただきました。

台風のさなか

Reviewed by: かおりん, 2021/08/11

ちょうど運悪く、台風が近づいてきた時の参加となってしまいました。
送迎バスの集合時間に少し遅れてしまったのですが、連絡を入れた際とても優しく対応下さり、ちゃんとお待ち頂き助かりました。
幸いなことにそこまで強くはなく小雨でしたので、半屋内のテーブルで川側を向いてのお食事でした。
私は竹コースでしたが、写真を見た時は足りるかな？ランチだしこんなものかな？と思っていたのですが、意外にしっかり量もあり美味しかったです！
今度は晴れた日に参加してみたいです。

バスを降りた瞬間の幻想的な場所。まるで千と千尋の神隠しに出てきそうな場所です。
料理はセッティングされていたのですが・・・・
蓋を開けたら、お肉のすごいことすごいこと！！感激です。
食事も終盤にかかると舞妓さんの登場。ご挨拶が終わり各テーブルへ
今日の舞妓さんは、宮川町の君翔さんです。
話も終わりいよいよ踊りの披露、二舞してくれました。

お料理は鮎の塩焼き付きお弁当といった内容でお値段相当でよかったです(^^)
送迎をお願いしましたが、時間があまってしまったので近くのお寺を観光しました。バスの乗降場所まで戻るのも距離が離れてしまいましたので、交通機関（バス）で帰りました。

夏の京都を満喫した感じ

Reviewed by: チャーリー, 2020/07/21

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。

Izakaya Bar Cuisine Cooking Class in Kyoto

Izakaya Class

Reviewed by: Kraig, 2019/11/09

Great cooking class lots of fun with authentic flavors and unique dishes. Class was very hands on and made about 8 dishes, ate half then made a second half and ate again along with a glass of sake (which is extra). We had 3 instructors and they were all amazing and extremely helpful as they guided us through the recipes.

大自然の中で初めての川床料理

Reviewed by: ゆあん, 2019/08/24

気温が35度を超す猛暑日でしたが、こちらは涼しく気持ちいい風が吹いていました。12時の予約で送迎を申し込み11時半くらいに到着しましたが席は用意されていたので待たされることは無かったです。お食事もおいしく、自然の中でゆったりとした時間を過ごすことができました。しばらく席で休んだ後近くを散歩してちょうどよい感じで帰りのバス時間となりました(みんな揃ったので早めの出発でした)。川床は鴨川沿い、と思っていたのですが涼しさと癒やされ感を考えたらこちらのツアーを申し込んでよかったと思います。

Summer Beer Garden with Unlimited Drinks and Maiko Dance Performance in Gion

Great experience, great price

Reviewed by: Stephanie, 2019/08/17

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.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you for coming the beer garden dinner the other day and also thank you for give us such a beautiful review!
We are so happy to hear that.
Our beer garden dinner is reasonable price compering with other maiko activities.
I am sure everyone will have fun even if you do not understand Japanese.

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.

  • Maiko visiting our table before show

  • Entering via rope footbridge

  • Traditional tiled houses on the drive up the hills at sunset

  • sushi course

  • summer kimono on the footbridge over the river

  • courses

  • Maiko performing

  • Maiko 2 visiting our table

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!

This trip was very pleasant experience. I was there with my mom and we both enjoyed very much. Food was great.

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.

Kyoto-Style Obanzai Healthy Vegetarian Cooking Lesson at a Machiya Townhouse

Beautiful food and hospitality

Reviewed by: Alan, 2017/07/03

While in Kyoto we attended this cookery class at the WAK building. Myself and my partner were fortunate enough to have the class to ourselves, and our teacher Mieko was friendly, patient and attentive as she explained the recipes. She also gave us an insight into traditional domestic architecture and the history of Japanese food, past and present. The food was delicious. We are both vegan and Mieko adjusted the class accordingly to suit our dietary requirements. It was a highlight of our holiday in Japan and we would highly recommend.

Dear Alan-san, Thank you so much for posting your comments on our cooking course. It was our pleasure to have you with us, and Mieko was delighted to hear your comments. Thank you for choosing our cooking course. We look forward to having you again in the future. Sincerely, WAK JAPAN
