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!

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.

A glimpse into the maiko world of entertainment. Very refined dance and etiquette.
I like the intimacy of four guests tables only, that makes it more interactive!
The after dinner games were a blast!
The staff were all very helpful, wonderful venue... a must for fist time visitors to Kyoto!

お茶席は芸妓さんのお点前が間近で見られてよかったです。一人だったのでたまたま一番前の席に案内されて、よーく見ることができました。
舞踊劇は真夏の夜の夢を題材にしたものでユーモアもあり、衣装も踊りもきれいで、楽しいだしものでした。いい意味でこじんまりした会場で舞台と客席が近くて芸妓さん達も間近で見ることができて、大満足でした。

まず情報提供として大切なのが、ツアー主催者の対応でした。素晴らしい!希望の予約が無理であるという連絡を受け、別の時間帯体験をご提案していただきました。しかしそのご提案の体験は新幹線発車ギリギリ。そのような中で出来るだけ観光客に楽しんでもらうには・・・という事を前提として色々とご相談、決められた中での最良プラン提案をしていただきました。素晴らしいご対応でした。
体験ですが、途中中座せざるを得ませんでしたが、それまで「舞妓さんの舞、お点前」はしっかりと堪能でき、京都へ来て京都らしい雰囲気をわずかでも堪能できる気軽&安価なプランです。よい思い出となりました!めちゃくちゃお勧めです
出来れば「特別席(追加料金¥200/人 ※席数に限りあり)」で体験してください。最前列で舞妓さんの舞を見ることができます!!
プラン関係者の方々、舞妓さん、素敵時間を満喫させていただきありがとうございました!

Positives:
-Maiko was beautiful, dance worth watching, dinner set very good
Negatives:
-pick-up not really door to door only in main hotels
-we called in at 5:20pm that we were running late due to traffic for a 5:30pick up time, our cab driver sped and by the time arrived at the pick up place around 5:35pm my husband was still on the phone, and the lady assured him the group is still there.
-We told her we cant find anyone but she insisted they are still there in the pick up place, and she told my husband to ask everyone in the hotel lobby if anyone was going for the maiko dinner.
-my husband told her we could not find anyone part of the group and we were standing right at the banner of Sunrise Tours but she said she cant help anymore we have to keep asking people!
-we called again after 5mins and spoke to a guy who told us the group has already left and we have to make our way to the actual place for maiko show ourselves with a taxi
We acknowledge and admit that we were late. But we rang 10mins before the actual pick up time they could have told us to head straight to the actual place of the Maiko show or they could have asked the tour person on the pick up place to also make an effort to “be easily found”. For them to tell us to just ask everyone in the hotel lobby if any of them are going to maiko show was very very annoying and stressful. We arrived at the show with very negative emotions already sat at the back most area and we couldnt manage to enjoy it that much anymore.

My husband and I really enjoyed our time. Mika, our host, was delightful and a wonderful translator for the Maiko who joined us that night, Fukune. Together they graciously answered all of our questions and made it a very enjoyable experience. When we booked this, we didn't realize we would be in a private room, but that ended up being nice as we had space to have conversations that we may not have otherwise had if we were in a larger group. The kaiseki meal was good though we'd had more interesting kaiseki dishes at another restaurant the day before. It was also a little hard to enjoy the intricate meal when we were in conversation the entire night (the downside to the private room).

席が舞妓さんを取り囲むようなら皆が最前列で見やすいが、ここは1列5人で3列というぎゅうぎゅう詰だった。さらに最前列は追加200円。
また、お手前は舞妓さんをお手本に自分で点てる、舞妓さんとの遊びは2人だけ、ということを理解して臨みましょう。そう思うとちょっと高いかなぁ。

Highly recommended. We were warmly welcomed and it was really fun having dinner with Maiko. We were able to watch her beautiful dance, play games with her, and ask her any questions if you want to know. I had a fantastic night. The Kaiseki traditional Japanese food was delicious. Whole program was well organised. Two Japanese Interpreters spoke good English. I can’t wait to go again.

この日の参加者は12~15人ほどで、海外の方や舞妓ファンの方が中心でした。
舞妓さんは宮川町から千賀明(ちかさや)さんという可愛らしい方で、お話をされるときは参加者ひとりひとりと目を合わせながら丁寧にお答えされてました。
お手前体験では、まず千賀明さんが抹茶をたて、それを係りの人が参加者に説明するかんじ。茶道特有の堅苦しい雰囲気は一切なく、みなさん泡がたたない~と言いながらワイワイ抹茶をたててました。
お茶屋あそびの体験もあり、これは希望者(2名ほど)が前で千賀明さんと金比羅ふねふねというお茶屋遊びをされました。舞妓さんが盛り上げ上手なので、どうやっても楽しくなりました(笑)
1時間の体験でしたが、盛り上げ上手な千賀明さんのおかげでとても楽しい時間になりました。ぜひまた京都へ行くことがあれば参加したいです!

Would suggest the restaurant to have a vegetarian menu for my vegan friends.

Going into this experience, I had no clue what a Maiko was and just thought it would a show with someone that just dresses up like a Geisha. This experience taught me a lot about the whole Geisha/Maiko profession and has made me more interested in older Japanese culture. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and the Maiko was gorgeous and great to hang out with.

We had an amazing time. We signed up for this with some hesitation about how fun it would be. Well, it sure delivered a lot of fun and some cool opportunities to learn. The meal was large and provided many, many courses of Japanese food. The entire time we were there we were able to enjoy unlimited drinks. We also appreciated that we were able to regularly interact with an English-speaking person who lived in Japan. We were able to talk to several of the staff who were working that evening, who spent time visiting with the customers and sharing their experiences living in Japan. In total there were about 18 people attending this event. We learned a lot and enjoyed the individual time we had with the Maiko and the group activities too. We highly recommend it and this Veltra package was well worth it. We absolutely would do this again! Very, very satisfied!

My girlfriend and I went to this dinner during our trip to Kyoto, and honestly it was the highlight of the trip.
First of all, we were late by 30 minutes (which is very rude). But the staff was still super friendly and lovely.
About the Maiko:
When we arrived the staff were describing what the Maiko was wearing. They also explain how she became a Maiko, and her daily life as one.
Then she went to every single table and we were able to spend about 10 minutes with her to chat and ask any question (a translator were translating from English to Japanese).
After she visited each table, she show us a traditional dance. We then played some simple game with her, it was so fun ! Everybody played with her at least once.
About the food:
I see a lot of bad review about the food. It's traditional Japanese food and it was DELICIOUS ! You're in Kyoto, open your mind and try everything. I think we had about 5 different dish set like small appetizer, soup, sushi, tempura... there is nothing in there that I didn't like or was not cook properly.
Also, it's open bar ! We had hot sake, wine and beer.
About the place:
The place is beautiful, it's a traditional Japanese restaurant (small table & sitting on the floor).
If I remember correctly there was about 12 people in the room (us included). So anywhere you sit you will be close enough to the Maiko to catch everything.
About the staff:
They are so lovely! They were always making sure we had everything to be comfortable. They even sat down with us for a little chat together.
We both really loved it !

An experience of meeting Maico is definitely rewarding. However, the quality of service, dinner, and overall organization are very mediocre. The only professional service was provided by the interpreter. Her English was very good as well as posture and ability to communicate. The place looks very shabby, food is not of high quality, especially taking into a consideration the price. I would not recommend this place. Try to find a different venue.
