[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

Seat

Reviewed by: Leika Ejiri

The show was perfect, but my seat had a partial view of it! I was disappointed because I paid the same amount as other people but couldn't enjoy 100% of the show.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

The essence of Gion

Reviewed by: Victoria

This is the meaning of it all, this is what the Geiko & Maiko are trained for. And this might be one of the very few opportunities that a tourist can see a Geiko perform. Not to be missed if you are in Kyoto during this period.

Definitely worth doing! :)

It was a really good experience, definitely worth doing. We had really good seats right at the front, and thoroughly enjoyed each performance. One of the highlights whilst staying in Kyoto.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

Great performance

Reviewed by: Bob

We went to the tea ceremony and geisha performance in Kyoto and thought both weee wonderful. The geisha doing the tea was stunningly graceful- beautiful to watch. Re the performance, the Kabuki in Tokyo had finished the October sessions and the place in Kyoto was still not open after renovations but this performance was fabulous alternative. Beautiful costumes, live musicians, well designed sets etc made for a dramatic performance- not just beautiful girls moving around to recorded music.

Wonderful experience in Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Carlos Eduardo

Everything was perfect. The tickets were reserved by the time we checked in and the place of the seats were very good (third row quite near to the stage).

As my heading states the show was great and the seats were perfect, we were sitting on the wing with a perfect eye level view of the stage.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

authentic performance

Reviewed by: A.Liang

We were very happy with the show and even more pleased we had the opportunity to be a part of the annual dance performance. The final act was beautifully done with Maikos and Geishas. The tea ceremony was quite rushed and did not resemble a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Overall a real authentic cultural experience, without any pictures as they were not allowed.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

Lovely Geisha Performance

Reviewed by: Nan

I wanted to be sure to see a geisha performance while I was in Kyoto, and I was lucky that this one was on while I was in town. It was perfect. There were 6 different short dances. The costumes were beautiful, there was live singing, the location was very convenient, and the venue was good. The tea ceremony was like the "fast food" version, as they needed to get everybody in and out quickly to accommodate an entire theater full of people in the 1 hour before the show. But it was fine. No need to get there an hour early. 15 minutes is probably enough, and you'll still have time for your "fast food" tea ceremony. And they give you the plate as a souvenir. No photography is allowed, so I can't post any pictures.

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Top 3 temples in one day

Reviewed by: Savvy808

There are so many temples in Kyoto but this tour took us to the 3 temples I wanted to see and the guide also pointed out all the temples along the way from the bus. It was just enough stops to maintain my 13 year old daughter's interest without getting bored. Audio headset for English and other languages were only used in the bus so we couldn't understand the guide's explanation at all the stops, which was disappointing to us and the rest of the non-Japanese speaking people on our tour. The time spent at each stop was perfect with enough time to quickly browse through the shops and try popular snacks sold near the temples. We received small omiyage or souvenirs from each temple which was a nice surprise! Although it's a ways down a lot of steps, you should take the time to drink the water flowing down 3 channels to a fountain at Kiyomizudera. They say it has wish granting powers for love, academic success and longevity. This was a great tour but would've been perfect if it was in English!

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Great time in Kyoto

Reviewed by: teddy85

First time went to Kyoto alone, we didn't know where to go, we found on the internet about this tour. We had a wonderful time and enjoy tour, tour guide is really friendly and closer with travellers. But only each sightseeing places too much travellers, and the time for sightseeing is limited, so that we have not lot of time to sightseeing as well.
If have change to travel again, we will chose this tour. Thank you
