一泊二日の短い時間の京都観光だったので、夕食も取れて、並ばずに紅葉ライトアップを鑑賞できて、本当に良かったです。
紅葉も少し早いライトアップ初日なので、このツアーを申し込もうか迷いましたが、鑑賞し終わって帰る時も、拝観するために並んでいたので、ツアーを申し込んで正解でした。

Led by a woman named Chikako, Tea Ceremony Camellia is a great introduction to the origins of the green tea ceremony. She taught us its history and how to make the matcha tea ourselves. Camilla is situated in the Gion neighborhood , so make sure you have at least an hour before or after to walk around and explore the neighborhood. They kept the group limited to 6 people so it was an intimate experience. I highly recommend this lesson during a hectic day of sightseeing as it offered a peaceful oasis and a moment to reflect on the traditions of Kyoto.

We missed the shuttle bus so taking a taxi was our only option. The Hotel Monterey Kyoto front desk was so kind and willing; she called the cab and informed the taxi driver where to drop us off which saved us a lot of time. The shuttle from the restaurant came out and met us about a mile away as the roads get narrow and difficult to find for drivers unfamiliar with that area. The cab fare came out to be about $35-40 from the Hotel (which was less than what I expected). I highly recommend catching the shuttle service on time (be there early as they will leave exactly on time!)-- not only it's more comfortable having someone drive you to the restaurant, but it will save you time and money.
The restaurant is located in a very secluded and quiet area, completely surrounded by nature. They will greet and walk you to your designated table. The guiding lights in the complete dark woods make the ambience more beautiful. All meals will come out in your eating pace... which is important because I eat pretty slow and sometimes course meals rush you to hurry up and eat. I wasn't sure how to eat fish properly (whether I was supposed to eat the whole entire fish or leave the head or tail), so the older lady came over and removed all the bones for me. Service was fantastic.
There were two Maikos that night-- both Maikos came around, very willing to take pictures and answer questions/ conversate with you. When they start their dancing, I couldn't help but to stare in awe. They look like walking dolls. They also had goodies before the show (i.e a fan, canvas bag, etc). It was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this tour. I want to do this again if I travel back to Kyoto in near future.

From the drive out of Kyoto Center up the cool hills past traditional tiled roofed houses, to our evening end with our gracious hosts smiling behind us as we walked back over the rope footbridge with the twinkling Japanese lanterns lighting the lush green river - A Magical Evening indeed.
Arriving at sunset, you see the beauty of the hot spring resort with our tables overlooking the river and mountain forest. We ordered the snow course (full- larger Kayseki) dinner. Traditional hosts (who speak only a little English) took us to our low tables set with course 1, gift Japanese fans and menu's in English. Sake and beer is additional. We had 2 Maiko's that evening, each separately visited all the tables to take pictures. (they speak Japanese, but can answer a little of English questions) Food was fresh, delicious and so artistically presented course by course. The beautiful dance & musical entertainment was lovely in the intimate setting. Each group had their own tables and the room is not too large. Splurge and treat yourself to this special experience.

案内して下さった本ツアーの運営会社の方によれば、日本人の参加者は私たち(2人)が初めてとのこと。ちなみに、今回の参加者は私たちだけだった。
しかし、日本人でも、日本酒が好きな方には、とても良いツアーだと思う。なぜならば、伏見の酒について「見る」「知る」「味わう」が同時に楽しめるからだ。
コース内容は曜日等によって多少異なるようだが、私たちの場合は、概略以下のとおりだった。
まず、御香宮神社を参拝。ここは、「伏見の御香水」という名水が湧き出しているという点で、お酒と縁がある。
酒蔵巡りの一番手は、伏見で一番小さな酒蔵。お酒のタンクが見える小さなバーで、「飲み比べセット」の3種のお酒を賞味した。とても美味しい。(以下、どのお酒も美味しかったので、「美味しい」はいちいち記さない)
次は、ウェブサイト上のスケジュール説明に出ている「商店街のバー」。ここでも、3種の日本酒を飲み比べた。だんだん、良い心持ちになってくる。
3か所目は、全国的に名の知れた清酒メーカーで、そこの資料館を見学する。このメーカーの創業は江戸時代初期だが、明治時代になって様々な革新を行った社長が偉かったらしい。この「中興の祖」の手腕によって、現在の地位が築かれたという。これこそ「創業は易く守成は難し」の見本であるなと、ほろ酔い気分で感心した。
最後は、スケジュール説明にある「隠れた日本酒バー」である。ここで飲んだ「利き酒セット」で、17種のグラスが並ぶさまは、なかなか壮観だ。(ただし、2人で1セット)
これらを賞味しているうちにツアーの3時間が到来し、ここで案内の方と別れた。もちろん、飲み終わるまでこのバーにいてよいし、さらに自費で飲み続けることもできる。
以上の説明からもお分かりになると思うが、日本酒好きにはピッタリのツアーだ。また、伏見はなかなか風情のある街で、坂本龍馬が襲われてお龍(おりょう)の機転で辛くも脱出したと伝えられる寺田屋などの見どころもある。酔い覚ましに散策するのも良いだろう。
なお、参加される際は、すきっ腹での飲酒とならないよう、事前に腹ごしらえをしておくことをお勧めする。

紅葉や桜の開花の時期は毎年異なり、良い紅葉が見られるかとヤキモキしていましが、まさにベストシーズンに当たりました。
これまでは紅葉と言うと山々の紅葉を思い描いていましたが、ここ永観堂は、
まさに紅葉のために樹木を集めたがごとくの庭園のでした。
紅葉づくし、、で、これでもかというぐらいの紅葉が見られます。
このツアーは、現地集合現地解散の食事と入園料を組んだだけのもので、勝手に自分個人で行けば、もっと安価に訪れることができるでしょう。
しかし、紅葉を楽しもうとするのは皆さん同じで観光客でとても混雑しています。空いている食事場所探しや手間を考えると、このツアーを申し込んで良かったと思います。

梅雨どきの京都は初めてでした。
三室戸寺のあじさいが主目的で旅行を計画しましたが、季節限定の東林院「沙羅の花を愛でる会」の企画を見つけて、精進料理にも興味があり、ツアーに参加。
個人で回るので時間を気にせず、その日の都合でゆっくり観光&食事ができました。
昼前のやや空いている時間帯に東林院に行きました。沙羅の花は初めて鑑賞でき感激っ、ずっと眺めていたい思いになりました。お抹茶とお菓子は品があり、お庭を見ながら美味しいただきました。住職のお話も楽しく拝聴しました。
精進風和膳は種類も多く、目でも舌でも楽しめました。男性には量が物足りなく感じるかもしれませんが、私はほどほどお腹いっぱいになりました。
昼食後は、妙心寺の雲龍図を見て、のんびりお寺を回り、帰路につきました。
季節ごとに異なる景色を見られて、京都には何度でも行きたくなりますね。

We were so glad that we decided to purchase this dinner. The restaurant have an amazing view of the river and eating at the kawandoko (terrace on top of the river) is an experience not to be missed. We got the shabu shabu meal and it was perfect since when we went, it was raining and cold, so it was the perfect warming up meal for us.
The maiko came at around 7 and talk to each of the table, take photos and answer a few simple questions. She can't speak well in English, but she can understand if you speak basic English and very slowly. Then she performed 2 dances, they both very elegant and beautiful.
At around 8 pm, the restaurant switch off the lights, so that we can watch fireflies around the riverside. Apparently this is only happens in June. It was truely an amazing and unforgettable experience for both of us.
The pick up and return transfer is pretty efficient too, very happy overall. Definitely would recommend!

This trip was very pleasant experience. I was there with my mom and we both enjoyed very much. Food was great. Two people share a hot pot, with one big plate of Japanese beef and one plate of vegetable! The highlight was to watch Maikos dance in a very close distance! I can see her holding her pose and dancing slow but gracefully. It is breathtaking! I would say this is the best trip you can do to get the completely Kyoto experience! Love it!!

This tour is an incredible experience! From the beginning you are taken on a bus tour of Kyoto with audio and video in your language about the shrines, temples, and history of Kyoto. You are taken to the beautiful Shozan resort in the mountains where you are are introduced to a traditional Kyoto style feast and watch a beautiful maiko dance in front of your eyes in perfect poise. The package also includes photo with the maiko and a stroll within the shozan garden. This beautiful garden is definitely worth checking out with incredible nature and photo opportunities. You are then taken up the mountain for a breathtaking view of the city of Kyoto at night. Very relaxing and a great way to experience an authentic maiko performance.
