Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
Maikoo dinner and show
Reviewed by: Lisa
We 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. However, it was very dark to take pictures. The night view on the peak in Kyoto summarize our trip nicely.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Highly Recommend!
Reviewed by: Courtney
Really 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!

Kyoto Private Kaiseki Dinner at Traditional Restaurant with Maiko Dance Show
The BEST experience in Kyoto
Reviewed by: Paul and Marie
We booked the private Maiko dinner to end our day long tour of beautiful Kyoto. What a wonderful experience. We were escorted to a private tea house where we were warmly met and welcomed. We were placed in a beautiful room with tatami seating and lovely Japanese screens. This was booked as a completely private experience which made this all the more special. We were soon met by a lovely Maiko who entertained us with three lovely dances. Just gorgeous. Following her performance, she joined us in conversation while we enjoyed a most delicious authentic kaiseki dinner and sake! The two hours went by all too fast! Via our private guide who served as our interpreter, we all enjoyed the company of this poised young lady. She embodied Japanese culture at its best! This was truly a one-of-a-kind experience; definitely the highlight of our trip to Japan. This opportunity should not be missed!

Fantastic
Reviewed by: Scott
We weren't sure what to expect with this dinner as it's a very reasonable cost we had low expectations, however were very pleasantly suprised. The hosts at Shozan were very friendly and accomodating and the food was lovely and traditional.
The arrival of our Maiko was announced and she danced so beautifully allowing the the rare opportunity for a photo with her even a few questions, followed by a walk in the gardens.
The bus tour allowed us an insight into places for us to visit in the following days.
Thanks for a great evening!

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
GREAT TIME!
Reviewed by: Erik Payne
Our time at Tomikiku Ochaya was an incredible experience. The feeling for us was like magic. The geiko of the house, Tomitae is a very gifted person. The samples of her artistic abilities gave us a beautiful sense of the closed culture that is so highly refined in these hanamachis. We would also like to comment on the owner of this ochaya as being very polite and welcoming to its guests. She was also informative about the interesting history of her ochaya. It was also a bonus to us to meet the maiko of the ochaya, Tomitsuyu. We highly recommend this activity to anyone who is considering it.

Kyoto Maiko Makeover and Samurai Dress-up Experience with Optional Stroll Plan
Incredible transformation
Reviewed by: Fran
This experience has been the highlight of my trip. The transformation was incredible, and every step of the way was carefully executed with the utmost precision. I was so impressed with how the studio dealt with a high number of clients and yet still made me feel well looked after. I was so delighted with the final results, I felt like a lifelong dream had come true. The staff's professionalism and kindness are stellar, and the make up, wig and dressing artists are incredibly talented. The photographer really knows how to bring out the best in you, and she was so lovely she offered to take some pictures of me with my camera during my free photo time since I was travelling solo. There even was a make up artist in the wash room to help me clean the make up on my shoulders - they truly thought of everything and cater to all circumstances. I did not feel uncomfortable for one second. Pricing was a very good deal thanks to booking through Veltra, I got 50% off which meant I could happily add on a photo book and some other extras. I would recommend the half wig, it looks much more natural and it's worth the extra money. I will truly cherish this as one of my most treasured memories from Japan. Transforming into a Maiko in Kyoto is a beautiful dream come true, and I will not hesitate to come back to studio Shiki again for a Geisha makeover next time.
Dear Fran
Thank you for your feedback.
We are very happy that you could experience at our studio.
Our photographers are very professional to take geisha pictures, so I hope you enjoyed photo shooting with them.
I would like to ask you to recommend our studio to your friends.
We are waiting for you and your friends someday.

We were very pleased with the wonderful dinner set out ready for our arrival. I am vegetarian but could not organise prior notice, so the hostess explained the food types and which were suitable for me. Three of our party are elderly and stools were quickly provided for them. The Maiko was exquisite and performed two dances with opportunity for photos at the end. The walk through the gardens was like a magical forest.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend as an insight into Japanese culture

※長文レポート（1,500字超） 【参加日時】2017年3月1日午後5時 芸妓さん富多愛（とみたえ）さん（1人で参加）
Reviewed by: 山の形
2017年3月1日午後5時から、1人での参加でした。
富菊さんを訪れるのは、時刻ぴったりがよいようです。
八坂神社門前の祇園会館さん（通常期は、よしもと祇園花月さんが営業）角からまもなくで、わかりやすい場所です。
刻限までの時間調整には、富菊さん斜向かいの「コロラド・コーヒー」さんもありますが、富菊さんの西ならび少し先にある「祇園喫茶 Rinken」さんを是非お薦めします。芸妓さん舞妓さんの夏の挨拶のときの名入りのうちわが飾られ、祇園東をこよなく愛しかつ愛されている喫茶店です。
「Rinken」さんのマスターからは、雑誌「地図で遊ぶ京都本」（京阪神エルマガジン社、2017年3月3日発行）を教えていただきました。富菊さんの舞妓さん富津愈（とみつゆ）さんの表紙画像と、「祇園の舞妓さんの一日」として富津愈さんの8頁にわたるカラー画像満載の特集掲載です。この特集には「祇園喫茶 Rinken」さん、富菊さんのこと、後述する気品にみちみちた、富菊さんの芸妓さん富多愛（とみたえ）さんの画像も、さらにVELTRAさんの本プランの紹介と予約サイトURLも掲載されています。
富菊さんでは玄関口で、「おかあさん」の気さくな応対を受け一気に緊張がほどけ、趣と風雅にみちた二階へと案内されました。
当日は芸妓さんの富多愛さんのお座敷でした。「おかあさん」から京の芸舞妓さんの歴史や五花街について、芸妓さんと舞妓さんとの相違、月ごとの花簪、富多愛さんの舞妓さん時代の写真アルバムから2016年5月の＜襟替え＞（舞妓さんから芸妓さんへ）の模様の写真アルバム等、まさしく貴重なお写真の数々を、「おかあさん」のいちからわかる名解説つきで、こちらの疑問にも快く教えてくださいました。芸舞妓さんのことをまったく初歩ながら、一通りはわかったような気になりました。
お菓子をいただき、いよいよ富多愛さんがあらわれお薄を点て始めます（画像参照）。気品と風格に満ちたその佇まいに圧倒され、息をのむばかりでした。もちろんお美しいことはたとえようもなく、堂々としたお姿それは厳しい芸事の修業の力でしょうか。祇園の芸妓さんの人間としての品格の高さに感動してしまい、カメラが机上に置いたままだったのを見かねた「おかあさん」が気づかってくれ、私のカメラで何枚も撮ってくださいました。
お薄をいただき、いちど富多愛さんはさがった後、一曲舞を舞われました。それは指の先まで細やかな想いをこめられた幾枚もの無限に連続した絵であり、芸術品。日本の伝統芸術・最高の文化が、京には動態保存されているのだと実感しました。
舞をおえた富多愛さんとしばし歓談となり、富多愛さんの高潔さにまだ圧倒されていた私ですが、話をすると富多愛さんはお名前どおり愛らしく気さくで、打ち解けた雰囲気で会話が弾んでいきました。
お座敷遊び「金比羅船々」をすることとなり、「おかあさん」と富多愛さんの説明と簡単な実演のあと、実際に富多愛さんと「金比羅船々」に。けっこう熱戦になりました。歌えないまま黙々と「はかま」に集中し、かつ負けた私ですが（富多愛さんはハンディで左手だったような）、前もって「金比羅船々」をそらで歌えるよう覚えていくことをお薦めします（「金毘羅船々」で検索すれば、歌詞・メロディのみならず、お座敷遊びの紹介動画もすぐ出てくるようです）。富多愛さんに「金比羅船々」で勝つのは、初心でなくとも至難のようです。 【この項4月2日に、訂正と追記あり】
富多愛さんとはふたたび歓談に興じましたが、ときは無情に話は尽きぬままおひらきとなりました。お座敷の金屏風前でと、下におりて富菊さんの玄関先とで、2人での写真を「おかあさん」が撮ってくださりました。宝物です。
小雨まじりの夜にもかかわらず、「おかあさん」も富多愛さんもずっと戸外で見送ってくださっていました。富多愛さん、「おかあさん」、当日はまことに有難うございます。VELTRAさん、感謝します。
富多愛さん、また会いに行きますね。

Fantastic pictures
Reviewed by: Amanda
It was a dream come true to experience the full maiko experience and to walk out fully dressed (which was quite an exciting experience sitting for full makeup and then being dressed) to show off to my fiancé who was waiting for me dressed as a samurai. The photographers were kind, gentle, and encouraging. They were surprisingly fast and efficient which made me nervous at first but the pictures came out fantastic. Wonderful experience and I highly recommend!! Great place with everything you need.
