小学校の修学旅行以来の京都旅行。
前からなんとなく興味があった茶道体験でしたが、大満足でした!
茶道の歴史からお作法、お道具の種類に至るまで、茶道の楽しみ方を丁寧に教えてもらうことができ、お茶もお菓子もとても美味しく頂くことができました。
教室の雰囲気も落ち着いていて、金閣寺のすぐ近くにもかかわらず、とても静かで穏やかな時間を過ごすことができ、京都旅行の良い思い出になりました!
先生もとても優しく、質問にも丁寧に答えてくださいました。
機会があればまた茶道の心得「和敬清寂」を思い出しながら、お茶を点ててみたいと思います。
私たちはオプションのお茶会体験をつけましたが、正解でした!貴重な体験をありがとうございました!

とても気持ちのいい暖かい日でした。行きしは遠回り遠回りしてしまい、駅からすご
く遠く感じましたが、帰りはすぐでした。京都駅から一駅で快速?も普通もとまるのですごく行きやすいかったです。庭の緑のもみじがすごく綺麗で写真をいっぱい撮りました。お寺に入ったらすぐ座禅体験の場所で少しびっくりしました。受付を済ませるとどうぞとゆわれただけだったので、どうしようと思ったのですが雰囲気で好きな席なのかな?と思って開いてる席に座りました。しばらくするとお寺の説明、座禅の説明をしていただき座禅に入りました。15分間の座禅が二回とでちょうど良い時間だったと思います。緑溢れる場所で涼しい風が入りながらの座禅はすごく心が休まりました。座禅終わり、少しまたお話をしていただき座禅体験が終了しました。その後にオプションでつけたお抹茶をいただきました。お抹茶もお菓子も美味しかったです。堅苦しい雰囲気もなく、居心地もよかったのが素敵でした。東福寺も近いので帰りに寄って帰ることができました。
京都観光にすごくオススメです!

お寺はとても雰囲気があって、きれいにお手入れされているお庭も素敵でした。私は「坐禅やったことないし、京都っぽくていいかも♪」という軽い感じだったのですが、実際伺ってみると体験されるみなさんはとても厳かな感じでした。
行く前はきっと少人数だよなぁ、私たちのグループだけかもなぁと思っていたのですが、着いてみると広いお座敷に私たちの他に20人くらいの方(20代後半くらい~40代くらいの方中心で男女同数くらい)がいて驚きました。坐禅体験人気なんですね!
最初に住職さんのお話があり、坐禅の仕方などを説明していただいた後に15分の体験、休憩をしてまた15分の体験、最後にお茶をいただきながら住職さんのお話という流れでした。
最初は「ずっとこの姿勢を保っていられるかな」と不安だったのですが、住職さんに言われた「呼吸を意識する」ことに集中すると、結構「無」になることができました。毎日仕事や生活に追われていると、こういう静かに自分と向き合う時間を取ることはなかなかないので、体験してよかったなと思いました。今回はあの、バチンと叩かれることをどうしても怖くてできなかったので、今度体験する機会がある時はぜひお願いしたいと思っています。
坐禅体験をしたお座敷は障子や窓が開け放たれていて、お庭の緑が見えたり開放感があって素敵だなとは思ったのですが、私たちが体験した日は天気がいいのに大粒の雨が降り、風も強く吹くというあいにくのお天気でだったので、途中寒くてどうしようかと思いました。これからの時期はよっぽど大丈夫だとは思いますが、冷え性の方は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

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)

初めての坐禅体験でした。
子供と一緒でしたが、説明がわかりやすく、時間の長さもちょうど良かったです。
法話をお聞きして、清々しいすっきりした気持ちになれました。
家でも、坐禅をして心と体を整えたいと思います。
また、京都に行く時には、伺いたいです。
ありがとうございました。

Be prepared for them to try and up-sell you a lot when you get there. And don't be too disappointed if the pics are not great. They do not work with what is best for you, everybody gets put in the same pose and that will not work for everybody.
The lady at the front desk was NOT nice. Her attitude ruined the whole experience for me. It was just ok. I wouldn't do it again.
Dear Ms. Suzanne
Thank you for your coming on April.
First, I am so sorry for our studio staff.
Then thank you for your opinion about our staff.
I will hardly train them again and give them entry level education.

We will train our staff hardly and try to not to repeat such a thing again for you will be interested again in our shop.
Thank you for your opinion about our staff this time.

Professional and friendly staff. The staff can speak English. I have enjoyed the stroll plan for walk around and get some nice photo and compliment from tourist. Nice experience and memory in Kyoto. The photo which taken from studio only 3 photos are good out of 9 photos. I am lucky with the weather and have a good photos with students and surrounding. This was my 2nd time so I would recommended to anyone come in Kyoto to try this.
Dear Ms. Oradee
Thank you for your coming to our shop.
The Strolling plan is one of our popular plan.
You could take many pictures with tourists.
I would like to see you again in Kyoto as the third time someday.

地図を見れば迷うことはありませんが、狭い道を入っていく必要があります。東福寺の境内からは外れています。一番北の端の塔頭です。きれいなトイレ有り。着替えスペース有り。座禅の前には、詳しい説明があります。警策で叩かれるのは、希望者のみです。肩では無くその下なのであまり痛くはありませんでした。5✕4=20回叩かれました。1回に左右2回ずつ叩かれます。
季節も良くなってきましたので、きれいな庭を眺めながらの座禅とヨガは最高でした。うぐいすのさえずり、木の葉と水の音、良いお線香の香りがありました。
難点をあげると、少ないですが、一般の参拝客もたまに来るので、見られることと、近くの日赤病院のピポーピーポーがたまに聞こえることです。

They are tucked away on a side street; look for an illuminated sign! They will offer to up sale you on backgrounds, a book with your pictures, CD, half wig vs full that will show lines in the pictures. They have soaps, sinks, and hairdryers to clean up after. The kimonos are gorgeous, and the pictures are keepsake.
Thank you for your comments.
Our plan is the basic price, so you can customize some options.
If you wanted something to clean up after you finished the plan, I would like to know them.
We have about 100 kimono, you could choose the best your kimono.
Thank you so much for your coming!

Among all our cultural activities in Japan, the tea time with Maiko is the most memorable. Although they only serve the guest one type of tea and traditional Japanese sweets per guest, the experience was still memorable. Guests first witness how tea is produced from scratch by the Maiko and this is followed by any traditional dance number. The Maiko's elegance and grace is perfectly showcased. Her business mother is also very adept at explaining basic facts about the Maiko and the Geisha's way of life. The last part of the tea time is an interview with the Maiko wherein guests can ask questions.

Staff don't speak English well however they do make an effort to make you feel comfortable during the makeover session. They know enough phrases to explain the make-up being applied and what to do during the dressing up. The photographer is very good in instructing small movements in order to get the right shot. Clients however don't get to choose the shot to be printed as this is under the discretion of the photographer. All shots can be viewed but clients have to purchase a CD worth 2000yen + tax which I find to be on the pricey side. Overall, the experience still is one of the highlights of my Japan trip.
Thank you for visitng AYA! We are glad to hear that you had fun with this experience.All staff are glad that you all enjoyed it. We are looking forward to meet you again! Hope you had a blast in Kyoto. Arigato!

5年ぶりくらいに坐禅体験をしました。こちらでの体験は初めてです。
最初に丁寧に説明をいただきその後、実際に坐禅しました。
わりと無の状態になれたので、坐禅のイメージにある「バチン」とされるやつはされませんでしたが、体験という意味で行くと1度やってもらえばよかったかなと思いました。
気持ちもスッキリ、心も軽くなったのでまた体験したいです。

We want to thank Veltra for their efforts to find a Maiko available to meet with us for the making of tea, dance, chat and photo opportunity. This was done at short notice and in peak season when other agencies were not able to help. The event itself was very memorable. It would have helped if the person who oversaw activities at the tea house explained what was going to happen and when we would know it would conclude.

It has been one of my life ambitions to have a Tea Ceremony with a Geiko/Maiko in Kyoto and it exceeded my expectations in every way.
The booking system with Veltra was simple and easy although it took a few days to get confirmation of the booking from the venue itself.
The directions to the Tea House were perfect (especially required with the nature of the Gion area of Kyoto with so many small back streets) and the greeting by the Okasan of the Gion Tomikiku Ochaya (Tea House) was pleasant and informative and she gave us lots of information all through the time of the visit, in good English.
The Tea Ceremony and Dance by the Maiko (Tomitsuyu) was beautiful and exquisite and we had the chance to speak to her for some time after the formalities were over. Tomitsuyu spoke perfect English and was very patient and honest with all the 'obvious' questions we asked of her, which I am sure she has been asked many times before.
There were plenty of opportunities for pictures and videos during the entire visit, which were in fact encouraged by the Okasan and the whole experience was designed to ensure the customer was happy with the event.
The dedication that Tomitsuyu has and the training required to perform so perfectly is a credit to such a young girl and we were in slight awe of the commitment is takes to take such a path in life.
The whole experience will live with me for the rest of my life and was definitely worth the wait and I would recommend anyone who is interested in this to make it a priority during your visit to Kyoto. You will not regret it.

It has been such a nice experience. The host was super nice and the ceremony was superlative. Reisan was dressed with a beautiful kimono and make us enjoy the pleasure of this traditional performance. She also answered to all our doubts without esitate. The house a minute walking from the kinkakuji so it is really comfortable to get there. The first floor of the house is well decorated with objects of the Japanese tradition. Recommended.
Thank you so much for your review! And I'm sorry I didn't write back soon. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed my tea ceremony!

Our family of three had a wonderful experience with the Maiko - green tea and sweets were served in a traditional tea ceremony, our Maiko performed a beautiful dance, talked with us at our table about her life as a Maiko in Kyoto, and then allowed us to have photographs taken with her both inside and outside the venue. Our 13 y.o. son was fascinated and very impressed with the experience, as were we. Highly recommended!

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.
I'm sorry to write bank late. I'm glad you liked the atmosphere of my tea room. It was nice to meet you!

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.

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.
