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

Recommended...but....

Reviewed by: Granger

My second time to take this tour, this time with friends. Guide was knowledgeable, but our group size was much too large, making this experience much less enjoyable. I suggest limiting the group size to improve the overall enjoyment.

Too. Many. People.

Very exciting experience. Ended up adding on items to the package because of the excitement.

The staff were excellent and professional. They're very friendly too and many of them (if not all) spoke english. :)

Dear Nmn

Thank you for your comments.
We are very happy to hear that from you.

I am afraid that to communicate each others.
It is because our staff is not so good at speaking in English.
We are studying English for communication with foreign customers, so if you have a chance, please visit to our shop someday.
We look forward to see you next time.

Have a nice day,

舞妓さんは素敵

Reviewed by: かな♪

席が舞妓さんを取り囲むようなら皆が最前列で見やすいが、ここは1列５人で３列というぎゅうぎゅう詰だった。さらに最前列は追加２００円。
また、お手前は舞妓さんをお手本に自分で点てる、舞妓さんとの遊びは２人だけ、ということを理解して臨みましょう。そう思うとちょっと高いかなぁ。

Mia, our guide, was fun and knowledgable. Loads of information on the cultural life of a Maiko/Geikas. We were successful in spotting both scurrying down the streets of Gion. A few good tips on restaurants and areas to return to. Great tour for all ages.

Dinner with Maiko

Reviewed by: Min

Highly recommended. We were warmly welcomed and it was really fun having dinner with Maiko. We were able to watch her beautiful dance, play games with her, and ask her any questions if you want to know. I had a fantastic night. The Kaiseki traditional Japanese food was delicious. Whole program was well organised. Two Japanese Interpreters spoke good English. I can’t wait to go again.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Kyoto Hospitality not to be missed.

Reviewed by: Nicole

This experience was Kyoto culture and hospitality at its finest. Everyone we met went above and beyond from the moment we arrived. As at all tea houses, guests are required to remove their shoes, but I had a broken foot and was not allowed to walk without my walking boot. The tea house mother kindly accommodated by finding a bag to tie over the boot. We enjoyed watching Maiko perform the traditional tea ceremony while an interpreter explained the process. We learned the proper way to enjoy the tea as well. After a wonderful dance we were given time for a question and answer session with Maiko followed by a photo opp. Maiko even came outside for photos need the tea house door. She was absolutely a pleasure to spend the afternoon with as was the interpreter. Highly recommended. Tip: the directions given on Veltra are quite accurate, but the door is unmarked (or at least unmarked by English). Just find the door by location and go through the curtain.

Maiko performs the tea ceremony.

舞妓さん可愛かったです！

Reviewed by: さいとう

この日の参加者は12～15人ほどで、海外の方や舞妓ファンの方が中心でした。
舞妓さんは宮川町から千賀明(ちかさや)さんという可愛らしい方で、お話をされるときは参加者ひとりひとりと目を合わせながら丁寧にお答えされてました。

お手前体験では、まず千賀明さんが抹茶をたて、それを係りの人が参加者に説明するかんじ。茶道特有の堅苦しい雰囲気は一切なく、みなさん泡がたたない～と言いながらワイワイ抹茶をたててました。

お茶屋あそびの体験もあり、これは希望者(２名ほど)が前で千賀明さんと金比羅ふねふねというお茶屋遊びをされました。舞妓さんが盛り上げ上手なので、どうやっても楽しくなりました(笑)

１時間の体験でしたが、盛り上げ上手な千賀明さんのおかげでとても楽しい時間になりました。ぜひまた京都へ行くことがあれば参加したいです！

Reviewed by: Lili

This package had it all; meet a real maiko in person, enjoyed the traditional Maiko dance, have a conversation and played games with one, and even took pictures with one! It was a superb and welcoming experience! Really enjoyed the food and entertainment. Would most definitely recommend my friends if they want to have similar experience! Would suggest the restaurant to have a vegetarian menu for my vegan friends.

Outstanding experience!

Reviewed by: Rachel Tuhro

Meeting the Maiko and speaking with the house mother was by far the most memorable part of our trip!

We enjoyed a Japanese Tea Ceremony had some small snacks and were entertained by a traditional recorded dance. Our Maiko was so lovely, she talked with us and spoke English very well. We were able to ask her a ton of personal questions and she was more than willing to answer all of them. The house mother was so friendly and accommodating and even gave us small gifts as souvenirs after our visit.

This is a MUST!!!

Dear Michelle

Thank you for your feedback.

I am sorry about that, but some time ago, others felt heat because of our reception staff did not introduce our products to them.

So we need to introduce our many options, as you will realize.

Thank you for your understanding.

I hope your pictures will be one of good memories in Japan.

Geshia Experience

Reviewed by: smartie

We arrived early to the salon and they were happy to fit me in early. We booked a full package through Veltra, however before it began we were told of an extra cost then asked about all other items that could be done. If I had know about these extra items I would have organized extra funds. Outdoor photo's are an extra 1000 yen but you have to have all six done that way so its actually 6000 yen. All the makeup artists speak very little if any English so it was hard to understand what they wanted me to do at the beginning. Very professional, helpful girls and I will recommend this salon and the experience to everyone.

I have always been fascinated with Japanese culture, and geishas are so very legit-Jap. This tour was an eye-opener not only because i learned more about Japan, but more importantly because i now have a higher level of praise and respect for women to choose to live the life of a geisha.

This is definitely a must-do when you're in Kansai area.

This was our first time having tea with Maiko-san, and we didn't know what to expect. We were blow away by this experience! We thoroughly enjoyed having tea with our hostess, and the location was everything we'd hoped to find in a traditional Japanese tea house. Tomitsuyu-san was incredibly friendly and polite, and spoke flawless English too! We had a wonderful time and learned so much about the geisha as well as traditional culture in Kyoto. I absolutely recommend this activity to anyone who wants a traditional Japanese experience!
