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

Always amazing !

Reviewed by: Jeff

I’ve tried dinners with Maiko experiences before but this is the best. And now it’s been my 4th time visiting. Service food people atmosphere are all excellent. Be ready to sit on a tatami mat style or request a small stool.

This was a truly magical experience and we would highly recommend thia for anybody visiting Kyoto. The resort was beautiful, the drive was smooth and informative and the Maiko show was out of this world. This is a must to experience the wonderful art of the Maiko.

Our guide, Ayu was awesome. She’s knowledgeable and friendly. Interesting tour to learn about geisha/ geiko & Gion history. We were lucky to see a Maiko-san at the end of the walking tour. This tour is highly recommended to all visiting Kyoto.

日本人の方は少ないのかなと想像しての参加ですが、日本人率100%でびっくりしました。お料理は正直、期待していませんでしたが京都の有名料亭のもので、なかなか豪華で充実した内容。とっても美味しく頂きました。追加のドリンク代も比較的リーズナブルな価格です。質問コーナーでは舞妓さんの私生活のことや、舞妓さんになった動機など直接色んな質問も出来て、舞妓さんや京文化に対する理解が一層深まって良かったです。挙手してのお座敷遊び体験も楽しそう。あっという間の1時間強ですね。

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

An amazing experience not to be missed!

Reviewed by: Jacqueline

Dinner with a Maiko was the highlight of my trip to Japan. Meeting the Maiko and having the chance to interact with her was amazing. It is hard to believe that she was only 19 years old, as she exhibited both dignity and poise well beyond her years. The evening started with a dance performance from her followed by a question and answer session. She then sat down and talked to each individual table through an interpreter. I was amazed with the way she made everyone feel completely at ease in the conversation. We then played Tora Tora Tora - which is a Japanese drinking game and finally she finished the night with another dance. The food we were served was absolutely delicious and the hostesses who greeted and served us were all wonderfully welcoming and delightful in their own right. All in all, this evening was one that I will remember for a long time to come.

  • Sitting and chatting to each of the attendees at the dinner

  • Showing us how to play the Tora Tora Tora Game

  • A beautiful dance performance from our Maiko

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

A charming afternoon with a Maiko

Reviewed by: Chris

This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. The host was very charming. We were invited into and treated to tea and snacks as the Maiko performed a beautiful dance. Initially I was afraid the language barrier would have sullied the experience but her English was quite good! We shared tid bits about our lives as did she. We played games and laughed and in what seemed like no time at all our time was up. Most definitely an experience every person traveling to Japan should live.

ちょっと残念

Reviewed by: コアラ

値段が値段だけに場所の雰囲気などは期待していませんでしが、雑居ビル内の1室で思った通りのセットアップ。
舞妓さんのパフォーマンスなどは、普段なかなか経験出来ないことだけに、良い体験をさせていただけたと思います。
ただ、5、6人のグループ参加の方々が30分遅れで入場してきて、スタッフの方々が対応している間待たされたのが残念です。しかもそのグループの方々を参加させ、写真撮影などに時間を費やし、待ってる側としてはどうかな?と思いました。5分遅れならともかく、「時間厳守、10分前までに到着願います」と歌っていれば、30分遅れの方は不参加とするべきでは?

コストパフォーマンスよし。楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: あゆあ

 舞妓さんの踊り、質問コーナー、お座敷遊び、写真撮影などが出来、楽しい一時を過ごせました。夕食付きで、お値段的にもお安いです。
 私も勝手に思い込んでいたのですが場所がたぶん、食事処のような和風な感じのところでの開催かと思っていましたがビルの2階(1Fクリーニング店)
レンタル着物屋さんのような店舗です。
座席のS席へのランクアップが500円くらいなので私も付けましたが参加の方はほぼ付けるようで全6列の内、前から5列目くらいまでS席で席は指定されておらず早いもの順なのは如何なものかと思いました。
前のほうで見たい方、撮りたい方はS席+早く入場できるように階段の下で待機された方が良いかと。
 大学生の息子と共に参加しましたが、とっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
今度、京都に来た際には本格的なお座敷を体験してみたくなったので、今回の参加は導入体験として良かったのでお勧めです。

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with Optional Meal

A wonderful afternoon with a lovely performance by a Maiko!

Reviewed by: Tammy Rak

Initially, I had booked the Saturday show but it was unavailable. Veltra was able to let me know and gave me a couple of different options to choose from as an alternative. I was able to change my reservation to the Sunday lunch. I would recommend paying extra for the front row and for the lunch. The lunch was a nice selection of Kyoto cuisine. Also, if you get sake, the Maiko will serve it to you. The Maiko was lovely and charming. Her performances were breathtaking and she was very thorough with her answers to out questions. It was also fun playing games with her. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it if you have a couple of hours to spare.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Very appreciate

Reviewed by: Mono

I book for 9 people and got 2 Maiko. 1 maiko name Tomie is very good in English she teach us play a game and answer our questions very clear. The owner is good in English too. We got a warm welcome and best experience everyone love it. Tea is quite bitter but they have a Japanese sweet that you can share with your friends. And you have permission to take a picture all times. After tea ceremony they come to send you and take a picture in front of a restaurant.

You can follow google map from VELTRA website and please save a picture of the restaurant because they don’t have a name in English and cannot search in google map apps

舞妓さんの舞鑑賞+お座敷遊び+京料理のお食事+町家見学 歓談や写真撮影も楽しめる 登録有形文化財の町家「冨田屋」催行 <午後・夕方/上京区>

なかなかできない体験でした

Reviewed by: かみしちけん

取引先との会食で、せっかくならいつもと違う雰囲気を楽しんでもらおうと思い利用させてもらいました。

舞妓さんとほんとに会食できるのかな?という疑問は、お店にはいった瞬間に吹き飛びました。なんと時間前なのに、ちゃんと待っててくれてお出迎えしてくれたのです。

舞妓さんは普通10代後半と聞きますので、その通りとてもかわいらしい方でしたが、何よりトークがお上手でした。この年で普通は大の大人を相手に話をあわせるのは難しいことだろうにと、関心しきり、でした。

そもそも、このお店、レストランでもなければお茶屋でもなく。なんでも古くからある呉服屋さんの町家住まいで、国の文化財にも指定されているとのこと。

その応接間を解放してくれているとのことで、なんだか申し訳ないような、でもちょっと(かなり?)贅沢な気分になれました。

取引先もたいそう喜んでいただけて、これだけのサービス内容で、このお値段はかなり安いのでは、と思います。

年に1回は上七軒の舞妓さんに逢う口実ができそう?で、個人的にもうれしい限りでした。またぜひ利用したいです。

Kyoto Private Dinner at Historical Teahouse with Maiko Dance Show

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Kamishichiken

I chose this for a meal with clients, thinking that it would be something different from the everyday.
I was concerned about the claims of actually having dinner with a maiko, but that was blown away as soon as I arrived! There she was, already waiting for our group to arrive.
I also could not believe that she was really only in her late teens. Of course, she cut a cute figure, but more than that, she was extremely skilled at talking with everyone present. I had assumed she would have trouble joining conversations with older adults, but not at all.
It isn't quite right to call this store a restaurant, but it isn't a shop either. It really is a traditional machiya, straight from the past, and a part of Japanese culture. The parlour was quite luxurious, too.
Taking into account how much my clients enjoyed themselves, the value can't be beat, I would say.
If I could come up with a reason to stop by and dine with the maiko of Kamishichikan even once a year, it would be fantastic. I will definitely return!

Kyoto Private Dinner at Historical Teahouse with Maiko Dance Show

Amazing cultural experience

Reviewed by: American Tourists

We knew that we were going to have an amazing cultural experience from the moment we arrived.

We were greeted by our hostess from the moment of our arrival. She was very pleasant, informative and flexible. We arrived nearly 30 minutes before expected therefore our hostess served us tea and took us on a tour of the house.

The highlight of the evening was meeting the Kyoto Maiko. Our group was allowed to ask questions and we were very surprised to learn that she was only 16 years old. Her level of grace, elegance and maturity far exceeded her years. My favorite part of the evening was learning the traditional games and the cultural dance was exceptionally beautiful.

The dinner was very traditional and also exceptionally tasty.

I highly recommend this tour for a truly culturally enriching evening.
