2024 Kamogawa Odori Tickets (May 1-24)

Reviewed by: Carola, 2019/05/05

Overall it was a positive experience, especially with regards to the show.
The photo session and the tea ceremony, a joke for tourists, was disappointing
I recommend buying tickets only for theater and geisha dances

2024 Kamogawa Odori Tickets (May 1-24)

Guidelines for foreign tourists could be a lot better

Reviewed by: Kevin, 2019/05/05

There was no issue in finding the location and to get the ticket at the booth with the voucher from Veltra. I purchased Special Seat without the tea ceremony.

Thereafter, we were ushered into a hall where the tea ceremony was held. I did not know it was that when I was in the queue. When they serve tea, they realized that I didnt purchase with it and they asked me to purchase a separate ticket for it (though it was in my intention to opt out). There was no briefing during the tea ceremony as to what was supposed to happen in the process.

After that we went into a room while waiting to enter the performance hall. Although I bought a special seat unfortunately I was given the second last row of the hall. There were staff walking around with signs in Japanese which I figured later they were renting out translator machines. The group of staff while walking around with those did not mention anything in English nor were there any signs in English whatsoever.

The performance was split into 2 sections. The first was like a drama and it was difficult to enjoy the show without translation. The srcond brief was more on dance and it wad quite beautiful.

Staff could be more conversational in English throughout. A lot of foreign tourists were lost in their way from the tea ceremony to the performance as well.

Comments from activity operators

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for leaving a review.

We sincerely apologize for the tea ceremony mix-up. We have since relayed your comments to the provider. Please rest assured that we are taking steps to ensure that the same mistake does not happen again.

As for the devices that you saw, those are actually audio devices that provide explanation of the scenes in Japanese. As they only cater to Japanese people, the signs were written in Japanese only.

Again, thank you for taking time to write us a review. We value our customers' opinions and reviews like yours help us improve our services.

We hope you had a lovely stay in Japan.

Sincerely,
VELTRA.com

Kyoto Maiko Dance Show with Optional Lunch & Photo Op

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Yana P. , 2019/04/13

I really liked watching how Maiko San was dancing. Also, she kindly answered all questions we made. The performance itself consisted of two dances, a game with Maiko San and answering questions about life of Maikos. The only thing I wished that the translation was more accurate. The translator was not always able to translate the questions and answers. Overall, the experience was very interesting and if I had chance, I would go again.

Wonderful evening

Reviewed by: Ellie, 2019/04/03

My partner and I really enjoyed this. The food was delicious, the setting was authentic, and the maiko was beautiful and charming. Our English interpreters were also lovely, welcoming and helpful. The maiko only performed one dance for us instead of the two described in the event, but we still had an amazing time.

Reviewed by: Amy, 2019/04/02

Our Maiko Banquet experience was easily the highlight of our trip to Japan. Booking was incredibly easy and everyone was so kind about accommodating dietary restrictions. The atmosphere was dreamy and the meal was lovely. The Maiko herself was charming and beautiful! We would recommend this to anyone fortunate enough to visit Kyoto.

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, 2019/03/17

Absolutely 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.

Kyoto Maiko Dance Show with Optional Lunch & Photo Op

A great "sampler" of Kyoto Maiko culture

Reviewed by: Angie, 2018/12/05

This 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!

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!

  • 舞妓初年生なので紅は下紅のみ+花簪(かんざし)にびらびらが垂れてます

  • 扇子を使う「京の四季」

  • 定番とも言える「祇園小唄」

  • 舞妓さんの特徴でもある”だらりの帯”

Best Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Rosaleen, 2018/11/01

It was an amazing experience and an absolute must do while visiting Japan.. There were only 4 couples in the room with excellent girls who interpreted for us and the maiko, who spent quite a long time at each table after her performance etc. .We learned a lot about the tradition. Lots of lovely food and drink served. Fantastic evening- best ever.

It was a fabulous evening.

Reviewed by: Lisa and Jack Rhind, 2018/08/04

My husband and I really enjoyed this experience of having dinner with a Maiko!
It was a highlight of our trip to Japan. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the dinner was delicious! We enjoyed the Maiko's dances and especially getting to speak to her and interract with her. There were only 6 of us at dinner so there was lots of time to speak to Maiko and she was happy to answer all of my questions! We enjoyed playing the games with her as well and I even beat her at one of them! I would strongly recommend this evening to anyone who wants to experience the mysterious geisha world up close and personal. I loved every minute of it!

2024 Kamogawa Odori Tickets (May 1-24)

Rare Opportunity to Watch Geisha

Reviewed by: MaryWilder, 2018/06/13

I would recommend this show to anyone who is in Kyoto during the performance period and who would like to see authentic geisha. The costumes and dances were beautiful and well worth the expense. Know beforehand that the show has speaking parts in Japanese with no translation, but an English programme is available for purchase. I opted for electronic tickets through VELTRA and had no issues picking up tickets from the box office. Our tickets included a tea ceremony, where we received delicious tea, a sweet, and a souvenir plate.
