Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op

Best Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Rosaleen, 2018/11/01

It was an amazing experience and an absolute must do while visiting Japan.. There were only 4 couples in the room with excellent girls who interpreted for us and the maiko, who spent quite a long time at each table after her performance etc. .We learned a lot about the tradition. Lots of lovely food and drink served. Fantastic evening- best ever.

舞妓さんと一緒に体験プラン 舞鑑賞・記念撮影・お座敷遊び・食事付きなど選べる6プラン by 日本文化体験 庵an

舞妓はぁ~~ん♪

Reviewed by: エチゴヤ, 2018/10/30

舞妓さんは宮川町”駒屋”の『とし菜実』さんでした~!
昨年11月にお見世出し(舞妓デビュー)した舞妓初年生で・・・おぼこい、おぼこいぃ~♪ ^ ^
お茶のお点前もまごついてるとちゃんと席まで来て教えて貰えましたし、舞も定番の「祇園小唄」と扇子を使った「もみじの橋」←(やや自信なし)の2曲をしっとりと魅させて貰いました~。
Q&Aにもしっかりと答えて貰えますし、写真撮影時にはポーズのリクエストにも応えて貰えたりと非常にコストパフォーマンスが良いので・・・ちょっと敷居が高いんじゃ?な~んて思ってるそこの貴方(女)にもお薦めです~。

舞妓変身体験 スタジオ撮影・散策プラン 本格メイク+本絹の手刺繍&手縫い着物着用<京都市/清水寺>by 舞妓変身スタジオ四季

母孝行できました!

Reviewed by: nu_, 2018/10/24

母と娘2人の、3人で体験しました。
散策プランをお願いしていたので、スタジオ撮影と散策とを楽しむことができました。

八坂の塔が見えるスポットが近いので、個人での撮影も満喫できてとても良かったです。

オプションで料金がかさむ件は、口コミで確認しておいてよかったです。
「つけまつげはつけますか?」とメイク中に言われますが、偶々忘れていらしたのか、料金の説明が無かったです。有料です。

カツラは、見栄えだけでなく固定感からも半カツラがよいなと思いました。
こちらもオプション料金がかかりますが、はじめにきちんと説明いただけました。
お着物の着付けも上手で、苦しさは全く無かったです。

撮影もポージング指示があり、母も不安なく楽しんでいました^ ^

料金は高いですが、技術とロケーションを考えると妥当でした。
よい思い出をありがとうございました。

  • スタンプで顔は隠しましたが…しっかりメイクしてもらえます。

Perfection

Reviewed by: Tiffany, 2018/10/05

We had perfect weather and a wonderful, friendly guide. The walk is long enough to see it all but short enough not to tire. Loved all the facts about Geiko-san and Meiko-san. We were lucky enough to see a Meiko-san. This has been the highlight of my trip to Japan.

Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide

An average tour

Reviewed by: Irit, 2018/09/30

The tour was ok. It gave some information and took us through nice streets. It taught us a bit about the meaning of Geisha in the Japanese world. However it was not interesting enough to justify two hours of tour. We saw some relevant houses from outside which opened our eyes to realize what these houses are but it felt as if we are avoiding on purpose encountering the Gaishas themselves.
All in all it was not enthusiastic experience.

A Special Experience

Reviewed by: Daniel, 2018/09/24

Friendly staff, with very good English speaking assistant. Made welcome right away. It is a small scale private event. Dinner dishes were excellent and varied. The show itself was authentic, nice to learn more details about this art and culture including via direct conversation with the performing Maiko. A great way to round off a memorable stay in Kyoto.

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.

  • beautiful location

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

  • Japanese lanterns light the river after sunset, view from the bridge

A rare and magic experience

Reviewed by: Jade, 2018/09/07

I have worked as a tour guide in Japan in the past and have done many tea ceremony's but none compare to this experience!
The artistry of a geisha is one of the oldest and mysterious jobs in the world. This experience breaks down that mystery to make it even more respected and beautiful.
I was so happy to be holidaying and sharing this experience with my friends this time and will definitely be back in the future again.

Thank you!

甚松庵では舞妓に近い席は500円払わないといけないので、
不公平感があった。全ての席を椅子にして、全員が近くで舞妓を見れるようにして欲しい。席が舞妓より遠く、近くで見れない不満が残った。500円払わないといけないところなど、少し儲け主義なような気がした。質問の時間をもっと取ってほしい。また、説明はマイクを使って欲しい。声が聞こえにくかった。つまり、お客さんがもっと満足するよう企業努力してほしい。

正絹の着物とプロのお仕事‼︎

念願の舞妓体験、娘を連れて行って参りました。車で行きました。パーキングは清水寺の駐車場が一日1000円でお安くて徒歩圏内でお勧めです。スタジオは空調もしっかりしていて、待合室には大きな画面で映画、本、給水機完備、と至れり尽くせりでした。着物が正絹手縫いとのことでチョイスした四季さん。総絞りや辻ヶ花も沢山ありました。基本料金がお安目で、必要に応じて追加できます。写真4枚付きスタジオ撮影プランでしたが、写真4枚をフォトブック2冊にして、半かつら、データ購入、を追加しました。フォトブック2冊は両方の実家に配り、私と娘はデータで保存、というライフスタイルに合わせた管理が出来ました。近所には食べたり買ったりが楽しい場所ばかりで、観光も堪能できます。10分間のセルフ撮影は、背景の素敵な場所を支度してあり、大満足でした。ありがとうございました。

  • スタジオ撮影はプロのお仕事、ポージング指示もわかりやすく完璧でした。

It was a fabulous evening.

Reviewed by: Lisa and Jack Rhind, 2018/08/04

My husband and I really enjoyed this experience of having dinner with a Maiko!
It was a highlight of our trip to Japan. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the dinner was delicious! We enjoyed the Maiko's dances and especially getting to speak to her and interract with her. There were only 6 of us at dinner so there was lots of time to speak to Maiko and she was happy to answer all of my questions! We enjoyed playing the games with her as well and I even beat her at one of them! I would strongly recommend this evening to anyone who wants to experience the mysterious geisha world up close and personal. I loved every minute of it!

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Tea ceremony with a Maiko

Reviewed by: AKCH, 2018/07/27

It was a very nice experience with a young Maiko. If you are interested and you know already the life and their habits, it is a no-brainer (go for it). If you don’t know anything you may be a bit tense during the discussion with the Maiko. In the past, this was impossible (still 10 years ago). Today some Okia (place where the Maiko and Geiko are living) has open to foreigners as they will likely not continue in 30 years. This culture will end slowly unfortunately.
