I thought this was a great experience...I was really only here for the maiko dance, even though I enjoyed the meal & gardens.
I really enjoyed talking to the maiko after the dance and feel that it's something I'll really remember from my trip!

You will see a maiko and get dinner for a significantly lower price then most tours that do this.... but honestly I would go to geisha corner and just watch the show there and not join this tour if you were to ask me again. This is as the tour is in Japanese- I was prepared for this and did not mind it but still.... on the bus you are given a English hearing guide so you can understand and they point out different buildings as you drive but it is pretty dark throughout the tour so you can't really see so much. The food was not tourist friendly, it was authentic Kyoto cuisine and it looked nice but there were very weird looking dishes with no English explanation.... so I did not eat 2/3 of it because I did not want to get sick with ingredients my body cannot handle (we are talking very strange unidentifiable ingredients). The maiko comes and does 2 dances, then you can take a picture with her and then she answers questions in Japanese. So the whole interaction with her is about 15 minutes long tops. Finally the gardens in the location were nice but overall not worth the 60 pounds just go to geisha corner and treat yourself to fancy nice dinner (that you can eat).

The show was too short, we expected it to be longer. The dinner was ok. Food similar to those offered in a Ryokan. We expected to have a more enjoyable eve. The sightseeing part was just ok.

We had a very pleasant experience for that night, the dance show was good and the hotel they took us for dinner was in a very nice setting with a nice Japanese Garden. However, it was very dark to take pictures. The night view on the peak in Kyoto summarize our trip nicely.

The venue didn't allow people to see both dances by the Maiko. The food and staff were excellent but the room was an odd shape that blocked people eating from seeing part of the dance

We weren't sure what to expect with this dinner as it's a very reasonable cost we had low expectations, however were very pleasantly suprised. The hosts at Shozan were very friendly and accomodating and the food was lovely and traditional.
The arrival of our Maiko was announced and she danced so beautifully allowing the the rare opportunity for a photo with her even a few questions, followed by a walk in the gardens.
The bus tour allowed us an insight into places for us to visit in the following days.
Thanks for a great evening!

We were very pleased with the wonderful dinner set out ready for our arrival. I am vegetarian but could not organise prior notice, so the hostess explained the food types and which were suitable for me. Three of our party are elderly and stools were quickly provided for them. The Maiko was exquisite and performed two dances with opportunity for photos at the end. The walk through the gardens was like a magical forest.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend as an insight into Japanese culture

現地集合なので、混雑時期は到着時間が読めないバスでの移動より、電車での移動が正解です。
まず最初に大広間に通され、湯どうふ御膳をいただきました。
とてもヘルシーで美味しかったです。
食後は早速、案内図片手に見学開始。
ピークが過ぎたせいか人出が少なく、じっくり見学できました。
結構アップダウンがあり、足腰を鍛えていないと後が厳しいかも・・・(笑)
次回は混雑覚悟で、紅葉真っ盛りに行ってみたいです。
味覚と視覚の両方満足しました。

Chiaki-san's tea ceremony felt almost surreal. I could actually feel the degree of dedication she puts in tea ceremony.
She speaks a fluent English and her trainee Moe-san speaks a decent Korean. My friends and I were extremely satisfied with this experience. If you're interested in tea ceremony, then I highly recommend this experience.

担当していただいた講師の方も、非常に雰囲気良く、裏千家の茶道を詳しく知れた。様々な質問にも細かに答えていただき、非常に楽しい時間だった。正月期間でもあった為、内装や用いられる茶器なども普段より華やかな物(先生談)であり、特別感があってよかった。
色々楽しかった点はありますが、雰囲気良く茶道体験ができたことが最も良かった点です。
