着物レンタル 京都駅前で手軽に和装変身！かんざし貸出＆簡単ヘアアレンジ無料＜京都タワーサンド店＞by wargo（ワーゴ）

着物は良いし、店員さんも人によっては。

Reviewed by: すぉ, 2016/10/16

色々な種類のお着物を選べることもあってベルトラさんから予約しました。
最初から差額払ってグレードアップするつもりでしたが、勧誘はなくあっさり。
予約の人いっぱいで早く着いてしまったら入店断られたので5分前は徹底です。
着付けの人は人によっては会話で和ませてくれたりで良い雰囲気の方もいますし、
私の髪をアレンジしてくれた方は全くにこりともせず終始怒っているような対応でした。
何故かこちらが気を遣う、、、。
流れ作業でオプションなしだと対応が違うんだろうかと思えてしまいました。
友人は良い雰囲気の方に着付けもヘアも担当してもらえていて安心しました。

Elegant Oiran Makeover and Photo Shoot Experience in Kyoto

Great Oiran experience

Reviewed by: Aries, 2016/10/05

I really enjoyed my experience. The location was very easy to find. The staff was super friendly and so accommodating. My makeup/hair stylist was so nice and she spoke fairly good English. I wasn't too sure of the colors so I asked for her recommendation and the colors all turned out beautifully in the photos. You do need to wear your base make up because they only build on top of your make up instead of starting from a clean face. Also, I recommend a STRAPLESS BRA. The photographer spoke English as well and was able to clearly direct me throughout the photoshoot. She even took a photo for me and my friend during the 'free time' session and even directed our pose! I loved all the amenities provided afterwards and the facility was very clean. YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN MAKE UP for when you're finished. They also give you a free name card! Of course, they don't allow you to take photos of photos of picture for obvious reasons but you can keep more photos for an additional cost. They also give 'free time' so you can take photos with your camera. An early appointment is better for foreigners. This studio does free touch ups on your photos if you request. Normally, they would mail the photos to your house if you reside in Japan. However, they will also retouch the photos for you to pick up between 6:30-8pm the same day for foreigners.

Thank you very much for coming to our studio the other day and for leaving a review!
The staff are glad you enjoyed the experience, and hope you will have a chance to visit Kyoto again in the future.

Machiya House Tour at Nishijin Tondaya in Kyoto

Fun Tea Time

Reviewed by: Sarah, 2016/09/23

My friend and I had a wonderful time. The hostess was super quick at getting the kimono on and having us ready to walk around. She was friendly and was very thorough when going through the history of the house and some of the meanings behind the tea ceremony. We had a great time despite the other couple we were doing the experience with being sour the whole time.

Samurai Sword Dance Lesson at Samurai Kembu Theater in Kyoto

Great Class, wish it was longer

Reviewed by: Sireesha, 2016/08/29

We got to learn a few sword moves and a short dance sequence. We got dressed up for about 30 mins in the Samurai costume. After dressing up, they took photographs. After we practiced the dance, we each got a chance to perform.

I would say, if you are looking for cutting straws, this is not the class. But, it is a fun exposure to samurai culture.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto

I Recommend This Experience!

Reviewed by: Hiroshi, 2016/08/24

This was my first trip to Kyoto since an elementary school trip.
I'd always had something of an interest in experiencing the tea ceremony, so this was really great! From the historical tea ceremony etiquette to the many types of tools, I learned from the instructor how to properly enjoy the tea ceremony. I also had some delicious tea and sweets.

The classroom had a very calm atmosphere and even though it was close to Kinkakuji, it was quiet and I had a relaxing time there. It's a great memory from my Kyoto trip!

The instructor was so kind and answered my questions carefully. If I have the chance, I'd like to make tea using my new knowledge and remembering the important elements of the tea ceremony.

We definitely chose the right option with this tea ceremony! Thank you for such a valuable experience!

(Translated from Japanese by Veltra.com)

  • "Every day is a good day!"

  • Charming entrance

  • About 1-2 minutes on foot from Kinkakuji

  • The classroom is a neat and tidy Japanese-style room

  • Here you can receive the tea made by your teacher

  • There are plenty of customers from overseas

  • Elegant sweets

  • Kimono display

  • Nice amount of foam

  • Seasonal display

Comments from activity operators

Hiroshi san, thank you very much for writing wonderful message! And I'm sorry I didn't write back soon.
I'm glad you to hear that you really enjoyed my tea ceremony session. Now I only have "with option" plan here since many of my guests liked this plan. Thank you so much!

伊賀流 本格忍者修行体験 60分～ 写真撮影OK 選べる入門編＋初級編＜英語催行／京都市＞

日本人にこそ来て欲しい！

Reviewed by: はやと, 2016/08/20

忍者体験が出来ると聞き、思わず参加したくなり参加してみました。
私たちが参加したのは少し本格的な「初級」の修行です。
てっきり忍者村などにあるような手裏剣投げがメインなのかと考えていましたが、
いわゆる「ぬき足、さし足」という忍者の歩き方から始まり、剣術、縄術、鎖鎌など本格的な戦い方や、
もちろん手裏剣や、棒手裏剣、吹き矢等の武器の使い方も丁寧に教えていただきました！
(棒手裏剣の投げ方は日常生活でも役に立ちそうです(笑))

少し個人的に感想になりますが、
忍者の動きを体験して感じたことは、日本人の古来の体の動かし方についてです。
筋肉を使って体を動かすのではなく、なるべく無駄な動きをしないで体を動かす忍者の体捌きは、普段西洋的な体の動かし方をしている我々現代の日本人には新鮮に感じるのではないでしょうか。

お話を聞いてみたところ、お客さんには外国人の方が多いとのことですね。
ですが日本人の方が参加しても、充分に楽しめると思います！
以外と知らなかった忍者の世界が見えますし、身につくものも多いです。そしてお土産話のネタとしても最高の経験です！

先生が丁寧に教えてくれますので、忍者に興味がある方、もしくは何かの武道をなされてる方などは一回参加なされてはどうでしょうか。

初心者向けの入門コースや、手裏剣体験などもあるみたいなので、気軽に楽しめると思いますよ。

忍者修行を通じて、新しい世界が見えると思います！

Elegant Oiran Makeover and Photo Shoot Experience in Kyoto

Amazing Experience Highlighting Our Kyoto Vacation!

Reviewed by: Gianni, 2016/08/17

The oiran makeover and photoshoot in Kyoto definitely marked one of our favorite memories for our first trip to Japan. The staff at Esperanto was very courteous and made it a smooth experience from check-in to photo selection, despite our not being able to speak Japanese. The experience was very private, and felt relaxed. Hair and makeup was a pleasure and the photographer was a definite pro! Loved all the shots and the service. Photos were wonderful! Esperanto even gave us a free, fourth photo when we went to pick up our photos! We would certainly do it again if we're in Kyoto in the future!

Samurai Sword Dance Lesson at Samurai Kembu Theater in Kyoto

Definitely Recommend This!

Reviewed by: Reiko, 2016/08/09

I'm part of an international marriage so as a present for my husband, who likes the Last Samurai, and my children, we participated in the simple lesson 1-hour course during our sightseeing in Japan.

At first, I was worried about the possibility of the instructor being someone who only aimed to entertain foreign visitors in a silly way. However, the instructor was well-spoken, taught swordplay and answered questions properly and guided everyone well. The important points of the lesson were all understood. My husband and children who participated as well as me, who only observed, were all very satisfied with the lesson.

I will definitely recommend this to my samurai-loving friends that are traveling to Japan.

海外在住の国際結婚をしているのですが、『ラストサムライ』などを見てサムライに憧れる主人やハーフの息子たちに、日本観光中のプレゼントとして簡単レッスン１時間コースに参加しました。

ひょっとしたら子供だましみたいな外人観光客向けのぺらぺらなものだったらどうしようと少し心配していたのですが、先生は褒め上手だし、剣さばきも質問に丁寧に対応して指導してくださるし、レッスン内容も重要ポイントがちゃんと抑えてあって、参加した主人たちも見学していた私も大満足です。

Authentic Ninja Training Experience at Ninja Dojo in Kyoto

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Narmina, 2016/08/01

It all started with putting a Ninja clothes on. They transformed us right away into super Ninjas and got us into perfect mood for the class. My 12 years old son was on the 7th cloud! Had great time learning how to move,throw a Ninja star,use blow gun and etc. Instructor was super supportive,patient and was taking time explaining and showing us slowly what we need to do. His English was great too. After the class we had a chance to get something as a memory of a Ninja experience right there. The only regret that we didn't get more of a Shriken (Ninja stars) as a souvenirs from Japan for our friends. This experience was definitely a highlight of my son's trip to Japan!!! For us , adults that was also very entertaining. Definitely would recommend it to curious adults and for families with kids. I myself wasn't too much into Ninja thing before but wanted to share the experience with my son and so glad that I did!! Thank you!

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto

Amazing tea ceremony experience

Reviewed by: Emma, 2016/01/30

It was our first tea ceremony and we didn't know what we could expect. We were so pleasantly surprised! The mood was awesome. It was very impressive to see how a tea ceremony is run by someone really knowledgeable. The tea master explained very well about the tea ceremony rituals, and she's also friendly. We loved that we only had to focus on the beauty of such a ceremony, from the sounds to the movements. Also, two Japanese sweets are given! You can ask any question you want, which feel great as well. Now we can make our own powdered tea, and follows the peaceful way of tea thinking! Thank you very much to propose such a lifetime experience.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto

Tea ceremony in Kyoto

Reviewed by: Catherine, 2016/01/10

Myself, my husband and my son (aged 12) booked in for this experience and I am so glad we did. While the groups are limited to 5 we were really lucky and were the only ones at that session. This made it an extra special experience. Our hostess was immaculately dressed and had absolutely impeccable manners. Her English was excellent, and after the ceremony she patiently and graciously answered all our questions. Our hostess was very knowledgable about the history of tea in japan, and the different types of tea, and has studied at one of the major 'tea schools' in Japan. We sampled a light tea- which is used for many occasions. The thick tea as it was explained to us is used for more formal ceremonies. The best part was we had the opportunity to make the tea ourselves. Delicious. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of a tea ceremony, it is something that my family will always remember.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you so much for writing the nice review! And I'm sorry I didn't write back soon. Since I'm trying to offer the authentic tea ceremony here, the guests can learn how to greet or move in addition to watching the way of tea here.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto

Traditional tea ceremony near the 'Golden Pavillion' Kinkakuji Temple

Reviewed by: Catherine, 2016/01/09

I along with my husband, and son (aged 12) booked in for a traditional tea ceremony. The experience was wonderful! From the second we walked into the house- which is a traditional old Kyoto style wooden house- we were transported to a different era. Our hostess was very knowledgable and particular in her technique having studied at one of the tea schools in Japan. She explained all the steps in the ceremony in excellent English and was happy to take questions. One of the highlights after observing the ceremony, was then being invited to participate and make your own green tea, being guided through each step by our immaculately dressed hostess. The groups are limited to 5, however it was just us that day, so it was very a special experience for us as a family. Our hostess was also able to tell about the history of tea in Japan, and also the development of the tea ceremony as we see it today and explain where the cups were made, and why they need to be turned as you consume the tea. The tea was delicious. A great experience! Catherine, Australia.

Machiya House Tour at Nishijin Tondaya in Kyoto

Japanese Experience

Reviewed by: Nina, 2015/03/04

I participated in it with my partner (who is not Japanese). It was a course full of Japanese cultural experiences that visitors like, and he and I were very satisfied with it.
A European couple who were attending at the same time course seemed very satisfied too. We had an animated conversation with them, saying that we would be sure to recommend this to others.

Since there was an English guide, I did not need to translate for my partner (which would have been stressful, since there a lot of things that I do not know about Kyoto Culture), and I enjoyed it to the fullest. When I have guests from foreign countries visiting next time, I would like to use your plan.

京都の町家を体験して欲しいと思っていた所、こちらのツアーを偶然知り、アメリカ人のパートナーと一緒に、Full Course (Plan A)に参加させて頂きました。
参加させて頂いた時間帯は偶然私達二人だけだったので、貸し切りみたいでした。
私は京都生まれ、京都育ちですが、自分の祖母の家をガイドして下さっている感じで十分楽しめました。
パートナーは、簡易的な着物ですが着付けてもらい、おもちゃの刀を構えて大喜び！
ティーセレモニーも、風情のある町家で体験出来ていい思い出に。
京都の伝統的な町家もとてもいい経験だったようで、さらに日本が好きになったそうです。
パートナーの色々な質問にも、ガイドの女性の方は丁寧に英語で説明して下さいました。
最後、冨田屋さん伝統のお弁当を昼食に食べました。
京都らしくお漬け物がメインでしたので、ピクルスが苦手なパートナーは残してしまいましたが、日本の伝統食を歴史のある町家で食べる事が出来て、大変喜んでいました。
私はお漬け物が大好きなので、大変美味しく頂きました。
また海外の方を案内する事があれば、その時も是非参加したいと思います。
