Elegant Oiran Makeover and Photo Shoot Experience in Kyoto
Beautiful Oiran Makeover experience you will have forever!
Reviewed by: Rose M.
The photographs from Esperanto speak for themselves! At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to do the maiko or the geisha photo shoot, but once I saw these photographs, I knew I wanted to go full oiran with Esperanto! The staff are super friendly and super professional, I cannot thank them enough for putting up with me and my family. They make you feel so at ease and like an important guest, so don't feel shy and go all out, you will look very beautiful. The makeup artists are super sweet and do an awesome job. The photographer was also very professional and helped me pose. I was a little worried, booking something out of the country like this, but it all went smoothly and I was able to get my photos and CD the same day. They went all out for me and I can't thank them enough! I've attached some photos that were taken with my cellphone. These photos don't do the professional photos of Esperanto justice. Go with Esperanto for a professional experience, it is worth it!

Elegant Oiran Makeover and Photo Shoot Experience in Kyoto
Oiran make over photo shoot
Reviewed by: Chris
Went together with my sister. It was no problem finding the place by using Google Maps.The experience were really fun, you got to dress up and take photos like a real model. Although their english was not so good and my japanese is nothing to brag about it worked out fine. They helped you with instructions of how to pose to get the best Picture. We took first Photos by ourselves and then together, not too sure if it was included or they did it because we requested it. Although if given a second chance I would have selected the more expensive plan instead of plan A, since the other one got more kimonos and better hairstyles i would loved to have tried.

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
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.

Samurai Sword Dance Lesson at Samurai Kembu Theater in Kyoto
Great Class, wish it was longer
Reviewed by: Sireesha
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
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!

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
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
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!
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.

Samurai Sword Dance Lesson at Samurai Kembu Theater in Kyoto
Definitely Recommend This!
Reviewed by: Reiko
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.

Authentic Ninja Training Experience at Ninja Dojo in Kyoto
Great experience!
Reviewed by: Narmina
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!

人生初の和装です。おでぶちゃんですが、問題なく切れましたw。店内は7割が外国人でしたが、我々の一味がやはり一番似合ってました。日本の心ですよまさに。店員さんも選び方を教えてくれます。聞いたところによるとこれも日本人と外国人では好みがちがうようで、写真のようなシックな組み合わせはあまり外国人は選ばないようです。
同行の女性陣も和心をテーマに選んでました。またヘアメイクもついているので着物使用になります。メイクだけしていった方がいいとの事（by女性陣）。受付から終わるまで流れ作業ですが、その分スムーズに進みます。上にも書きましたが日本人スタッフを見つけてアドバイスをもらうのが一番と思います。外国人スタッフは片言ですので（そもそも着物の知識は未確認）。
で、着替えた後はこれはびっくり。歩くの超大変。ってか無理。小股でちょこちょこ。女性陣はくるしーって文句ばっかりｗ。よってタクシー移動ですね。店から近いので清水寺に行って写真を撮りまくってきました。総じてよい体験でした。（費用対効果〇）

Tea ceremony in Kyoto
Reviewed by: Catherine
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.
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. I'm happy that many of foreign tourists also like this traditional tea ceremony experience.

Reviewed by: Catherine
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.
