Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Excellent experience!
Reviewed by: Huang, 2019/03/29Our family really enjoyed the entire experience and was fortunate to be able to talk to Tomichie directly and exchange experiences about each other's lives. I highly recommend this - they are also very accommodating to my children (age 1 and 4).

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
The Maiko dance show was too short - only 15 minutes.
Reviewed by: Peter, 2019/03/25After an half hour bus ride to the venue, dinner was served following by a show with single maiko. It's a decent performance lasting 15 minutes. The photo taking session with maiko by individual guests took the longest time for the night's activities.

Kyoto Maiko Makeover and Samurai Dress-up Experience with Optional Stroll Plan
Courteous staff and professional work!
Reviewed by: Stephen N., 2019/03/25I decided on this studio based on their fair price, high quality, and positive reviews, and I'm glad I did! While my wife was getting dressed as a Geisha, I decided I'd take part in the experience with her and do the Samurai plan. On the way to the dressing room there was a small outdoor area with a very unique looking duck and a good number of impressive looking koi - truly beautiful and relaxing. Upon arrival, the room was very well kept and the material of the clothes were obviously quite high. When we got to the shooting room and they handed me the katana, I was relieved to discover it had proper weight and they did not save on expense with a cheap, fake sword of weak material and poor quality.
For those wanting to try this out, I'd definitely recommend opting into the stroll/outdoor options for some truly fantastic pictures. Also important is timing! If you want to have pictures on your free stroll time with few to no people in the background, go at the earliest appointment available (that's what we preferred), however, if you'd like it to look like a bustling city in that era, an afternoon shoot will have a good crowd of other people from various shops who are also dressing up!
Enjoy!

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
"Memoirs of a Geisha" dream come true
Reviewed by: Couple from Canada, 2019/03/17Absolutely loved the experience of meeting Maiko. I finally fulfilled my "Memoirs of a Geisha" dream Haha The name of our Maiko was Fukuya, and she was beautiful, answered all our questions, was very nice and I loved playing the game with her!
The only reason my review is 4 stars and not 5 is only because of a bit of a mix up with our food. The husband really doesn't like fish, so we had made sure ahead of time that he wouldn't be getting any seafood, but pretty much his entire meal contained fish, all but for a little steak. So, I ended up eating 1.5 meals (I hate wasting food) hahaha But, other than the hubby having very little food, the food was really great! So delicious!
I would definitely recommend a meet up with a Maiko if you get that chance. We didn't see 1 Maiko or Geisha walking around, so if seeing one of these beautiful ladies is on your bucket list, book a visit! We absolutely loved it, it was a big trip highlight.

Once in a lifetime experience exceeded expectations
Reviewed by: Meghan, 2019/03/05It was wonderful to have this authentic experience. Great environment both the teahouse mother and the geiko-san were gracious and accommodating. They're truly dedicated to the geisha art and educating people about.
We learned so much and enjoyed our time at the Tomikiku tea house.

Kyoto Maiko or Geisha Makeover Experience with Optional Gion Stroll
A must-do activity in Kyoto especially to experiencing the old Japan.
Reviewed by: Joob, 2019/02/28We thought the photo shoot would just be normal dressing up, but it is a lot more than that. The studio provided a complete photo shoot including make-up, dress and other accessories. The make-up for Maiko was a lot more fun and let you experience the real Maiko. The studio has all the essential stuff so you don't need to bring anything. They provided make-up remover, cream, oil and even normal make-up for when you clean up the Maiko. I really enjoy the make-up experience and chose my dress. We had about 15 minutes walk outside the studio in the Maiko experience in the Gion district which was very fun. I highly recommend this activity especially for travelers to Japan.
A minor suggestion to make the photo shoot experience more fun would be photographer should interact more with customers to make it more fun and relaxing experience while photo shooting otherwise for foreigners like us might feel a bit tense when posing.
Thank you for visitng AYA! We are glad to hear that you had fun with this experience.All staff are glad that you all enjoyed it. Share the content you suggested to our photographer and use it for the next improvement.We are looking forward to meet you again! Hope you had a blast in Kyoto. Arigato!

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
Good value to experience Japan Culture
Reviewed by: Shirley L, 2019/02/16Maiko was very beautiful and graceful . Her performance was great. I enjoyed it very much. The tour was a little rush. After we finished dinner we only had 15 mins left to shop and walk around the garden. The staff in the restaurant was polite and nice. I only wish they could introduce in both Japanese and English (They only speak Japanese so we had no idea what was going on)

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Enchanting afternoon.Highly recommended.
Reviewed by: Alessandra, 2019/01/04We were not quite sure what to expect from this. It is really hard to meet Maiko in private but thanks to Veltra we were able to meet a real Maiko (actually a Geiko), talk with her and have our photos taken with her.
We had all the time the we wanted to be with her, we never felt like we were rushed. The Maiko spoke English and she was an absolute delight to be seen. We will never forget this time. Thank you so much Veltra!.

Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide
Great tour and very informative
Reviewed by: Raymond, 2018/12/30Great tour and very informative on the history of Gion district. Given the poor weather condition at the time of the tour, our guide still completed the tour and is very engaging throughout. We enjoyed hearing about the geisha life, education, etc. We saw points of interest - shrine, streets, tea houses, and relics. A suggestion would be to have a better meeting location as it was quite difficult to find for those not familiar with the region.

Kyoto Maiko Dance Show with Optional Lunch & Photo Op
A great "sampler" of Kyoto Maiko culture
Reviewed by: Angie, 2018/12/05This experience is a great "sampler" or introduction to Kyoto's Maiko history and culture. There was a short tea ceremony (some lovely Japanese ladies who were also attending were great for explaining the proper etiquette, but that's definitely not required). They served a small plate of sweets with the tea, and I must say the tea was the most perfect temperature - hot but not too hot to drink! The maiko also did 3 dances to recorded music which were so graceful and precise! Finally, there was a time to speak to the maiko directly and ask questions. If you're thirsty, they do sell drinks. It's a small facility that some taxi drivers may not be familiar with, so be prepared with an address! Overall, it's a lovely introduction to the culture that's worth the time to visit!

おぼこいぃ～♪
Reviewed by: エチゴヤ, 2018/11/22舞妓さんは宮川町 堀八重(お茶屋兼置屋)の”ふく友梨”さんが来てくれて、昼食の仕出し弁当を食べながら”ホンモノ”の舞妓さんと楽しいひと時をすごさせて貰いました。
華麗な装いで、たおやかな舞を二曲も（今回は「京の四季」と「祇園小唄」）披露してもらえて、舞妓さんに関する質問にも答えてもらえたり・・・全員ではないですがお茶屋遊び（こんぴら舟々）でお大尽気分を味わえたり？・・・それに撮影フリーですし、おまけに2ショットまで撮ってもらえちゃいます～！
京都に来たらコレでしょッ！！・・・ってくらい初めてって方にも敷居の低いイベントなので皆さんも是非ぃ～～♪
最後に：たまに見かけるなんちゃって舞妓と違ってホンモノの舞妓さんは行儀作法からして厳しく指導されてるので、とても10代とは思えぬほどに佇まいからして雰囲気が違いますよ！

We were expecting to be in a group but found there was just the two of us. What a treat. She danced for us, made matcha tea and then chatted to us. She was very generous in letting us ask anything and take as many photos as we wanted. Highly recommend.

Dear Mr. Stephen N，
Thank you for your message!
And also thank you for coming our store with your wife.
Maiko and Samurai are Japanese traditional cultures. We hope that more people will know it through this experience.
The strolling plan is one of the most popular
plan. because you can take your favorite photos outside. We are so glad that you and your wife are satisfied with this experience.
We look forward to seeing again someday.
Thank you very much!
Have a nice trip!
