Had an awesome time and would highly recommend. The restaurant is gorgeous and the staff extremely hospitable. The kaiseki dishes were very well liked by the three of us and their proprietary sake was excellent. Our interpreter Peter was super chill and knowledgeable. Lastly our maiko, Kana Sue was fascinating to watch - the makeup, hair style, kimono, and all the meanings behind each intention...more

Since I arrived early to the appointment, the instructor started the lesson earlier with little preparation needed which was very much appreciated. The lesson itself was great. Even though English was harder for her, she still communicated well how to play the instrument by demonstrating and giving verbal explanation, which helped me learn quickly. Since I had learned the song she had prepared ...more

Tour guide was informative and communicate well with us. The trip is definitively a must go for those who are fond of beautiful natures. The cable car is fun too. However, the location of the gathering point at Kyoto bus station is not very informative for a foreigner.

It was a beautiful performance, and definitely an unforgettable experience. While it is all in Japanese, the organizers prepared a handout in English, in which all the parts of the performance were explained. An educated audience (no mobile phones ringing, loud talks, late comings etc.) enhanced the positive experience. Highly recommended!
