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

スタジオプランで大満足。

Reviewed by: mgucci

中学生になった娘の記念に舞妓さんに。
ゴールデンウィークの最中ではあったが、9時半の予約であったため、全てスムーズに進み、着物などもゆっくり品数もまだ豊富であった。付き添いの私も居られるゆったりとした待合室があり、待ち時間は苦にならなかった。また着物選びの時は、女性であれば連れも呼んでもらえるので、一緒に着物選び出来るのはよかった。
オプションも豊富で受付の時に迷ってしまう。が、撮影が始まっても追加カットに応じてくれたのはよかった。
全カツラと半カツラの違いは、全カツラはスポッと頭から被るもの。よって化粧で隠すがすこしヅラ感が出てしまうことがあるらしい。その場で追加料金で半カツラに変更可。半カツラは生え際のところは地毛を使うのでよりナチュラルな仕上がりになるとか。見ていると、そう説明されると全員半カツラに変更していたので(我が家も半カツラに変更)全カツラが本当にそんなに目立つのか不明。
スタッフは親切で明るい。
自由撮影は10分間だが、厳密に測られる感じでなかったが、我々は10分で十分だった。スタジオ裏のみでの撮影であったが、ちょうど建物が切れるところの奥に三重?塔が見える情緒ある坂の路地があり、京都らしい写真が撮れた。

半カツラは当店一押しで地毛結いの様な仕上がりになりお客様に大好評です。
立地も京都でも一番風情のあるロケーションですので次回は是非、散策をご体験いただければと思います。

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

老若男女、安価で気軽に「舞妓さん」の舞を鑑賞できる、京都らしい素敵ツアーです!

Reviewed by: みやくん

まず情報提供として大切なのが、ツアー主催者の対応でした。素晴らしい!希望の予約が無理であるという連絡を受け、別の時間帯体験をご提案していただきました。しかしそのご提案の体験は新幹線発車ギリギリ。そのような中で出来るだけ観光客に楽しんでもらうには・・・という事を前提として色々とご相談、決められた中での最良プラン提案をしていただきました。素晴らしいご対応でした。
体験ですが、途中中座せざるを得ませんでしたが、それまで「舞妓さんの舞、お点前」はしっかりと堪能でき、京都へ来て京都らしい雰囲気をわずかでも堪能できる気軽&安価なプランです。よい思い出となりました!めちゃくちゃお勧めです
出来れば「特別席(追加料金¥200/人 ※席数に限りあり)」で体験してください。最前列で舞妓さんの舞を見ることができます!!
プラン関係者の方々、舞妓さん、素敵時間を満喫させていただきありがとうございました!

受付でベルトラのバウチャーを提示し、支払済を申告したにもかかわらず、受付されず、たらいまわしされた。あげく、地下の事務室まで自身でおりて確認しろとの、最低な対応をうけた。

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

後から提示されるオプション料金が多すぎて

Reviewed by: ロビン

外国からの友人に和装体験(舞妓さん)をしてもらいたくて、こちらを利用させて頂きました。
入店して受け付け時に「申し込まれた内容ですと背景が無地で4カットの撮影になりますが」と言われ、追加料金で茶室や床の間などで撮影されたサンプルを見せられました。どう考えたってその方がいいに決まってます。メイク時にも、お化粧をすると自前の睫毛は映えませんと追加料金ありの付け睫毛、髪結いの段になるとより華やかな髪飾りをつけてみませんかとそれも追加料金。私は殆ど御断りしましたが、友人には喜んでもらえる記念をと最大限のオプションを追加しました。細かく細かく追加をつけて、セットプランで満足して利用できないって、プランとしてどうかと思います。気持ち良く利用できなかったことがとても残念でした。

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

Incredible Experience!

Reviewed by: Amanda

This tour is an incredible experience! From the beginning you are taken on a bus tour of Kyoto with audio and video in your language about the shrines, temples, and history of Kyoto. You are taken to the beautiful Shozan resort in the mountains where you are are introduced to a traditional Kyoto style feast and watch a beautiful maiko dance in front of your eyes in perfect poise. The package also includes photo with the maiko and a stroll within the shozan garden. This beautiful garden is definitely worth checking out with incredible nature and photo opportunities. You are then taken up the mountain for a breathtaking view of the city of Kyoto at night. Very relaxing and a great way to experience an authentic maiko performance.

Kyoto Maiko Makeover and Samurai Dress-up Experience with Optional Stroll Plan

Dream come true

Reviewed by: Chloe

The ladies of Maiko Henshin Studio efficiently transformed me from everyday Jane to beautiful Maiko!

The process took me about an hour, and it's a constant flurry of activity - from makeup, hair, and kimono fitting. There was a few ladies in the queue but I felt that I did not wait too long.

The transformation was astounding. My husband couldn't believe his eyes!

We were given 45 minutes to stroll around Gion, and I was issued a bag with a map so I knew where I was going. My makeover looked so awesome a few people thought I was a legit maiko.

Thank you Maiko Henshin Studio for making my dream come true!

Tip - don't eat a heavy meal prior to doing this! Once the kimono is on, you can't go to the restroom!

Dear Chloe

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Reviewed by: hqd

It has been my wish for a while now to meet a maiko/geiko in person, and I finally got a chance to meet Tomichie-san. My family of eight really enjoyed watching Tomichie-san performed the traditional tea ceremony, and we really appreciate our host explaining the different aspects of the ceremony to us. After the ceremony, Tomichie-san performed a dance, then Q&A, and we had some time to play a little game with her. Tomichie-san graciously showed us her beautiful kimono and hairstyle, and was so patience with all of the photos that we were taking. If/when we come back to Kyoto again, we will definitely do this again.

Maiko Entertainment in Kyoto with Dance Performance and Dinner

Show itself is okay but a lot of let downs

Reviewed by: Ricky

Positives:
-Maiko was beautiful, dance worth watching, dinner set very good

Negatives:
-pick-up not really door to door only in main hotels
-we called in at 5:20pm that we were running late due to traffic for a 5:30pick up time, our cab driver sped and by the time arrived at the pick up place around 5:35pm my husband was still on the phone, and the lady assured him the group is still there.
-We told her we cant find anyone but she insisted they are still there in the pick up place, and she told my husband to ask everyone in the hotel lobby if anyone was going for the maiko dinner.
-my husband told her we could not find anyone part of the group and we were standing right at the banner of Sunrise Tours but she said she cant help anymore we have to keep asking people!
-we called again after 5mins and spoke to a guy who told us the group has already left and we have to make our way to the actual place for maiko show ourselves with a taxi

We acknowledge and admit that we were late. But we rang 10mins before the actual pick up time they could have told us to head straight to the actual place of the Maiko show or they could have asked the tour person on the pick up place to also make an effort to “be easily found”. For them to tell us to just ask everyone in the hotel lobby if any of them are going to maiko show was very very annoying and stressful. We arrived at the show with very negative emotions already sat at the back most area and we couldnt manage to enjoy it that much anymore.

Kyoto Maiko Makeover and Samurai Dress-up Experience with Optional Stroll Plan

Unforgettable Experience!

Reviewed by: Post-Uni Tourist

My sister and I completed this activity together. We loved the location of the facility. It was located in Gion along some streets with beautifully built buildings. It is very much a tourist area with many shops catering different souvenirs and foods (which we happily explored after our time in Geisha attire.

The women were very efficient with the makeup and putting on the kimonos. The whole dress-up took about an hour and since we went early, we didn't really have to wait for others. We opted for the half-wig option (which you pay for in addition in studio) and it was cool, although I think it should be called more as "wig with your fringe." Most of your hair is kept underneath the main wig piece but then they take the first inch from around your forehead area to help cover up the would-be seems. Definitely cool, but I don't know if it was worth the extra amount.

We absolutely loved the walking aspect of our plan. The studio shots were really nice (we paid extra for a group shot), but being able to walk a ways away to take shots outside made it so much more worth it. Plus, with the other people on the street, we took photos with some other people in kimonos (and were also asked for pictures ourselves).

We would do this again in a heartbeat.

We've decided to experience the tea time in Gion and we were fully satisfied.
First "our" Meiko, a Geiko apprentice (sorry I forgot her beautiful name), make us a dance performance. It was really hypnotizing. Then she make the tea ceremony and it was also great.
We could take pictures and ask her questions. We had the chance to have someone who speaks english, so it was nice. We had plenty of explanations too.

Geisha Experience in Kyoto

Reviewed by: Ana Cabral

The experience itself was well worth the money. The staff is very professional, the studio is beautiful and centrally located in old Kyoto and they have a nice selection of beautiful kimonos.
Expect to be asked if you’d like to add any “extras” at an extra cost: a better wig, fake eyelashes, change of kimono, pictures in the garden, extra pictures, etc.
The only constructive critic i’d like to add is that the staff could explain while doing the make up, hair and dressing the kimono, the meaning of each step and each piece of clothing.

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

Really Nice Experience

Reviewed by: KCM Callahan

My husband and I really enjoyed our time. Mika, our host, was delightful and a wonderful translator for the Maiko who joined us that night, Fukune. Together they graciously answered all of our questions and made it a very enjoyable experience. When we booked this, we didn't realize we would be in a private room, but that ended up being nice as we had space to have conversations that we may not have otherwise had if we were in a larger group. The kaiseki meal was good though we'd had more interesting kaiseki dishes at another restaurant the day before. It was also a little hard to enjoy the intricate meal when we were in conversation the entire night (the downside to the private room).
