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

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 Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide

Very informative and interesting

Reviewed by: Almog

We booked this tour with not too great hopes, it just wasn't expensive. We really enjoyed it and even already recomended it to friends. The guide was very cheerful and nice, the information was interesting, and we were even able to recognize 2-3 real geiko walking on the street after the tour, which was so cool. Very recomended!

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

Truley Enchanting Experieince

Reviewed by: Callum

Before 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.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Excellent experience

Reviewed by: Jaime

It 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

An 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

I 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.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

A dream come true!

Reviewed by: Maricarmen

I 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

I 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

Reply from activity provider

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,

Reviewed by: しーちゃんママ

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。

Maiko Entertainment in Kyoto with Dance Performance and Dinner

very nice show, one of a kind entertainment

Reviewed by: Albert B.

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

Ok but not really tourist oriented

Reviewed by: All

You 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).
