Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
A dream come true!
Reviewed by: Maricarmen, 2017/08/06I had always wanted to see a real Maiko and, although a bit expensive (considering that I was traveling alone) I decided to do it. It was worth every single yen I paid for it!!
First, the owner of the Tea House is a very kind person. She explained everything to me in fluent English, I learned about tea and she introduced me to Tomitsuyu, the beautiful girl who performed the ceremony.
The sight of Tomitsuyu, the maiko that I met, was breathtaking. She performed the tea ceremony with the utmost care and then she danced a piece. Again, the owner of the Tea House explained to me some details about that dance.
Then it was time for questions. This provided a great insight of this awesome world. Tomitsuyu was very nice and she smiled all the time.
being a photo-addict I took a lot of pictures and she was kind enough to let me take as many as I wanted. The owner of the tea house even took my picture with her both in and outside the tea house.
I am seriously considering doing this again. It was an incredible experience and a moment of pure beauty and wonder. Two of the most fascinating Japanese traditions (tea ceremony and Maiko dances) combined.

Kyoto Maiko Makeover and Samurai Dress-up Experience with Optional Stroll Plan
Fun Touristy Thing
Reviewed by: Jess, 2017/07/23I think the best part about this place is it gets you to a most beautiful area in Kyoto. The makeup was done (though there were touches I kinda wanted to fix) quickly, the kimono was beautiful. It was awkward to stroll around alone but I got used to it until it was too hot. Wonderful experience. Always wanted to do it

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＞
海外からの参加でした
Reviewed by: しーちゃんママ, 2017/07/23当日は少し早く着いたので向かいにある喫茶店でコーヒーを出してもらって待機させてもらいました。けれどまだ日本は禁煙が遅れているようで喫茶店はタバコの煙が充満し最悪でした。こどもは入らない方がいいと思い蒸し暑い外で待機しました。
この点だけ残念でした。
芸こさんの日本舞踊は夕涼みをイメージした踊りで本当に綺麗でした！！！
そしてたくさんの質問にも丁寧に答えて下さり楽しい話しもさせて頂き貴重な体験でした。
お抹茶も美味しかったです。
ただ日本人ではない義理父に日本舞踊や芸こさんの事を説明するのが難しく大変でしたが貴重な体験になったと言っていましたので良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

芸姑さん
Reviewed by: はるち, 2017/06/30アメリカからきました。一度は経験したいと思い、小学生の息子もとても喜んでいました。
大変貴重な体験が出来たと思います。目の前で踊ってもらった時は、あまりの美しさにどきどきしてしまいました。その後の、げいこあそびの「こんぴらふねふね」は今でも家族で楽しませてもらっています。プライベートのトークは最初は何を聞いたらいいかわからず、緊張しましたが、だんだん会話も盛り上がってきて楽しかったです。富多愛さんも普通に話してくれて、いろんなことが聞けてよかったです。ぜひまた行きたいです。

Maiko Entertainment in Kyoto with Dance Performance and Dinner
very nice show, one of a kind entertainment
Reviewed by: Albert B., 2017/06/17It was a true, one of a kind entertainment. The Geisha (Maiko) was beautiful and she has grabbed the attention of everyone present. The dance, the kimono, the make-up - it was all original. I have also had a chance to learn more about the Geishas, how they work, how they live and what this line of work is about. An amazing insight, into an old Japanese tradition.
There was even a photo opportunity with the Geisha. The tour guide explained everything to us and there was even a Q&A session.
The dinner was delicious, a traditional Japanese meal in a beautiful Bento box.
The entire group was taken to a show in taxi cabs, and dropped off at the requested destinations afterwards. Nice touch. Often this type of tours ends in one spot, somewhere in a city and you have to find your way home. This tour agency took care of everything to the last minute. I had a return train to Osaka that evening, and they dropped me off at a train station. Thank you!

Maiko Dance
Reviewed by: Stuart, 2017/06/16I thought this was a great experience...I was really only here for the maiko dance, even though I enjoyed the meal & gardens.
I really enjoyed talking to the maiko after the dance and feel that it's something I'll really remember from my trip!

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
Ok but not really tourist oriented
Reviewed by: All, 2017/06/04You will see a maiko and get dinner for a significantly lower price then most tours that do this.... but honestly I would go to geisha corner and just watch the show there and not join this tour if you were to ask me again. This is as the tour is in Japanese- I was prepared for this and did not mind it but still.... on the bus you are given a English hearing guide so you can understand and they point out different buildings as you drive but it is pretty dark throughout the tour so you can't really see so much. The food was not tourist friendly, it was authentic Kyoto cuisine and it looked nice but there were very weird looking dishes with no English explanation.... so I did not eat 2/3 of it because I did not want to get sick with ingredients my body cannot handle (we are talking very strange unidentifiable ingredients). The maiko comes and does 2 dances, then you can take a picture with her and then she answers questions in Japanese. So the whole interaction with her is about 15 minutes long tops. Finally the gardens in the location were nice but overall not worth the 60 pounds just go to geisha corner and treat yourself to fancy nice dinner (that you can eat).

Maikoo dinner and show
Reviewed by: Lisa, 2017/05/24We had a very pleasant experience for that night, the dance show was good and the hotel they took us for dinner was in a very nice setting with a nice Japanese Garden.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Highly Recommend!
Reviewed by: Courtney, 2017/05/19Really special experience, we have always wanted to have insight into the life of a Geisha and this is the perfect experience to do so. We were able to ask our Geisha questions after the tea ceremony and take photos with her. The host was also amazing, really insightful and accommodating. We were luck enough to be the only two within the group. 100% worth it, in fact probably the best part of our Japan trip!

Dear Jess
Thank you for your feedback.
I am very happy you chose the Strolling plan.
Summer is very hot in Japan, but I think to take pictures around traditional town scape is very good experience.
For the next time, I would like to see you and your friends someday.
Sincerely,
