Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
Great experience!
Reviewed by: Abraham Abbas, 2017/10/17My partner and I had a great experienc! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and made everyone effort to ensure you were comfortable and that all your needs were being met. The food, Maiko performance, games, conversation and photos were well worth it and we had an incredible time. It was really memorable especially when the Maiko came to our table to speak and answer any question we had. This was a perfect addition to our last night in Kyoto! Highly recommend!

Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide
Intresting
Reviewed by: Dina, 2017/10/11It was interesting for most of us. Children under 18 were less interested. We only saw Mariko in the end for 1 second so were disappointed.. But it's not their fault. Eli was great. My only remark is that the meeting point does not exist on Google map and it was difficult to find them.

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
Quintessential Kyoto
Reviewed by: Adam , 2017/10/07My girlfriend and myself recently travelled to Japan from Melbourne, Australia. Prior to coming to Kyoto, we had already toured Tokyo, Hiroshima and Osaka, with a few interesting day trips along the way.
Compared to other major cities in Japan, we have found Kyoto to be a lot more traditional to old Japanese culture. The geisha or geiko as they’re known in Kyoto, are hugely iconic to us when we think of Japanese culture, and especially Kyoto culture. So meeting one was a must!
We had a great experience being entertained by a maiko (a geiko in training). There was traditional Japanese dancing, new and really funny drinking games and fascinating conversation about her beauty routine, social life and aspirations. It was a rare privilege to meet her. She was very polite, held herself well, and will make a great geiko one day.
The food was interesting, traditional Kyoto cuisine, and the sake (or any drink for that matter) was bottomless, much to my pleasure. I had cold sake and my girlfriend had warm sake.
All in all, we are glad to have this organised this experience and would recommend it. You do not want to travel to Kyoto and not see a “geisha” in the flesh.
Thank you for joining our tour and submitting a valuable review about it.
We have read your review and once again we appreciate your feedback.
Now we would like to ask you one question for our future improvement.
You gave us a 4 star rating, what would you say was missing for us to score 5 stars from you?
We would love to hear your honest opinion so that we may further improve our event.
Thank you so much,

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
Fantastic Maiko experience
Reviewed by: Didier, 2017/10/05It was a truly great cultural experience to come face to face with a maiko and soon to be geiko. Watching her perform live and in close proximity make us feel special.
It was a remarkable experience to also be able to chat with her and immerse ourselves into this japanese culture by understanding her motivations and training to be where she wants to be. Becoming a geiko is indeed not a hobby but a life accomplishment. We also have the great opportunity to play fun entertaining games with the maiko.
I highly recommend this activity and not just for the performance. The food and unlimited sake/beer in itself was simply amazing too!

Overall nice, great instructer, too many people
Reviewed by: Adi, 2017/10/01The tour was overall good and definitely worth the price. Our instructer was great, very professional and nice. However, the group was too large and together with cars passing by, it was often hard to hear. I suggest to stop the explanations for a moment when cars/motorcycles pass by

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
Memoirs Of A Geisha Bucket List
Reviewed by: James , 2017/09/29What an amazing experience! The tea house where the maiko performance is located is in the heart of Gion. It was the perfect location as we were able to walk around this quaint area of Kyoto and explore the city right after dinner.
The staff present that night were so accommodating and fun! Everyone spoke English and there was a translator present when the maiko came to your table to chat with you. We asked her questions such as how she became a maiko, how she sleeps with her hair up, her daily routines as a geisha, and so forth.
With each response we grew more curious about this mysterious Japanese human doll that sat in front of us. The staff never once rushed us during this question and answer session, and the maiko was so sweet for allowing us to take an unlimited amount of pictures with her. The staff members were so kind to jump in and be our photographers that night to truly capture this special moment in time.
We also had a chance to play traditional drinking games with the geisha and it was a fun way to interact and laugh with other travelers that came that night to experience a piece of Japanese culture. We also appreciated that there was only a small amount of other travelers present in the room (around 15 people that night including ourselves) so we never once felt left out at anytime during that night.
The food served was surprisingly tasty and drinks were refilled constantly. Not bad for a tourist based activity!
With the beautiful and authentic okaiya where the performance takes place, the location, and presence of English speaking staff, I would definitely recommend this travel experience to anyone that wants to meet a real life geisha in person!

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Beautiful experience
Reviewed by: Benjinito, 2017/09/23This was one of the highlights of our trip. We were slightly concerned that this would turn out touristy, but we had a beautiful and authentic experience that we will always remember. The price might seem a little high on the surface, but it is very rare to get a chance to meet and have a private conversation with a maiko. The maiko that we met (Tomitsuyu) spoke perfect English and shared so many interesting things with us: her childhood, her daily life as a maiko, her aspirations. Videos and photos were encouraged throughout the entire experience.

舞妓さんまたは芸妓さん 祇園でお座敷体験 お座敷遊び＋舞鑑賞＋お抹茶 昭和初期から三代続く祇園のお茶屋催行 ＜貸切／撮影自由／英語対応可／祇園東＞
夫婦でお座敷体験！
Reviewed by: 夫婦旅行, 2017/09/17京都への夫婦旅行で富菊さんにお伺いしました。
当日は芸妓の富多愛さんのおもてなし。お点前、舞、おしゃべりと進んでいきました。
最初緊張気味の私たち。緊張をほぐすよう気さくに身近な話題をふってくださるおかみさん（おかあさん）の心配りに次第にリラックス。すぐに芸妓さんのお仕事や生活などについて、富多愛さんとの会話もすごく盛り上がり、あっという間に時間がすぎていきました～。
そして、お座敷遊びに代えて三味線を披露いただきました。目の前での見事な演奏、華麗なばちさばきに大満足。
私が行きたくて申し込んだんですが、私以上に家内の方が富多愛さんとのおしゃべりも盛り上がって大満足していました~！
夫婦旅行にもとってもお奨めです。

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
Truley Enchanting Experieince
Reviewed by: Callum, 2017/09/08Before coming to Kyoto we had wanted to meet a Geisha (or Maiko in Kyoto) but did not know what to expect. On this trip we got to meet a Maiko with a small group of other people while we dining.
The food and drinks were amazing but the experience of meeting Maiko and watching her dance was truley magical! We even got to play traditional party games and have lots of fun with her.
Our hosts were also incredible, explaining everything in great detail and translating between English and Japanese for Maiko.
Definitely recommend this event. This was perfect for us as we wanted to experience this in a small group rather than a private event as I think it was a great atmosphere.
Dear Callum.
Thank you very much for your time and for sharing your comments here!
We work hard to make our guests happy and your positive comments let us know that we've succeeded in this goal. It's great to know that you had a pleasant time with maiko san (Fukuno)and enjoyed cuisin!
We are happy to know your son enjoyed traditional party games with Maiko san.
Thank you again and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
With sincere appreciation and kind regards,
Kishirou Kase

Excellent experience
Reviewed by: Jaime, 2017/09/07It was an awesome experience, truly Japanese culture. It was very nice to have this private session with a Geiko and not only be able to witness her performances but also share thoughts, ask questions directly to her and to the tea house's manager as well. Great experience, would recommend to anybody traveling to Japan willing to explorer an authentic Japanese cultural experience

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Amazing experience and highly recommended
Reviewed by: Sascha, 2017/09/06An experience which will stay forever in my memory. You can explore places like Tokyo or Kyoto all day long but the real traditional Japan, you will get to see in the Gion district of Kyoto. To meet a maiko / geisha is one thing but to be able to talk to them and have your questions answered around this part of Japan's culture is to a certain extent priceless. You will meet the Maiko and she will prepare tea for you. Afterwards she will perform a dance and you get a chance then to interact with her by asking questions around their tradition, where they are from, why they chose to become a maiko/geisha and what they are going to do in the future. If you need any local tourist information, they are also more than happy to share their local favourites. Great hospitality and an experience not to be missed.

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2024/7/1～9/30)
Amazing experience
Reviewed by: Kim, 2017/08/28I 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.
