I am so thankful to have found this experience online. I have been fascinated by Geisha culture and history for a long time and to be able to have this chance was amazing. The tea house owner spoke wonderful English and gave us a very quick, but thorough history of Geikos and Maikos. She also took some photos for us during the tea, and outside the teahouse before we began, which was nice.
Tomichie, the Maiko, was a complete delight. She also spoke wonderful English and really was breathtaking during the dance. You can tell how much practice goes into the work that she does. During the Q&A session she gave thoughtful answers and was interested in ours too. I think we could've chatted with her much longer, but sadly our time went by so quickly. Watching her with my son, 6, was heartwarming. He said that this experience was the highlight of our trip in Kyoto (and I don't disagree with him)!

My sister, an American basket weaver with a great deal of experience in weaving other materials, and I, a long-term resident of Japan with no previous experience, took the course. We were the only two students that day and both had a great time. The young woman who instructed us was friendly and patient with us, taking us one step at a time through the process of making the rather complex but beautiful Shikainami basket. We both ended up with nice-looking baskets. The instructor cheerfully answered my sister's questions about preparing the bamboo and agreed to prepare 200 strips for my sister to take home with her a week later. All-in-all, a very satisfying experience well worth the price.

This event takes place in part of a studio on the second floor of a building. There are stairs outside in front of the building that go up to the studio. We arrived early, as recommended in the program description, but ended up waiting for the previous program to finish before we could enter. Before entering the studio, you need to take your shoes off and leave them on a rack.
Once inside, there are some rows of benches facing towards a low "stage" on one side of the room. After everyone has taken their seats, the maiko enters. The English translator for the maiko was very good. The maiko introduces herself, and there is an opportunity to have your photograph taken with her and receive a slip of paper with her name stamped on it (in Japanese, of course). After everyone has their photograph, the maiko performs two dances. Then there is a question-and-answer session, and then the maiko explains the rules for a drinking game. She and the translator demonstrated the game once, and then the maiko will ask a series of volunteers to come up to the front to challenge her. If you lose, don't worry--you can choose to drink a cup of water instead of sake!
All of this takes place just over a half hour, but it didn't feel particularly rushed. The maiko was very courteous with answering questions and it was fun to play the game against her. I felt like many of the people in our audience were too shy to ask questions or volunteer, but I would encourage people to not be too shy and enjoy themselves!

I did a raden class at sagaraden nomura and a makie class at innui shikki and I have to say that my husband and I both enjoyed the chinkin class at kyoto artisan workshop best of all. The teachers were elderly and speak Japanese only but we had no problems following through the teacher's demonstration. What sets kyoto artisan workshop apart was the incredibly hands on experience from the woodcutting to the application of lacquer and metallic powders, unlike the other workshops that we've been to where some steps were done for us by more expert hands so that we would have a nice product to take home. As a result we learnt a lot. Highly recommend this class.

Husband and I did the chinkin class and the gold leaf stamping class at kyoto artisan workshop and we have to say that we enjoyed the chinkin class better as it was more hands on. For the gold leaf stamping class, we did the cutting of the template but the actual gold leaf application was done by the teacher (our teacher that day was Mr Fuji). This is probably due to the fact that gold leaf wrinkles at the slightest touch and it was probably too difficult for beginners to handle. A tip for those choosing this class - choose a design that is not too fine for a better effect. I chose a crane design and the long thin legs of the crane did not stick well.
ご来店ありがとうございました。人気の箔押しですが、扱いが難しいのが難点です。コメント頂きましたとおりデザイン選びが明暗を分けると思います。是非またTRYしにお越しくださいませ。

We have never worked on cloth dyeing like this before. The store owners were incredibly friendly and walked us through every step of the process. They were always there to answer questions and provide assistance if we needed it. The entire process was fascinating, making the experience that much more interesting and fun. We highly recommend trying this for yourself if you are ever in Kyoto!
Thank you for the review.
It looks like you were very happy. .
I would also like to visit you when there is an opportunity.

The whole experience was amazing, the staff is super nice and professional, I went with my whole family and we all laughed and enjoyed the photo session, the selection of kimonos is beautiful, along side wigs and accessories, I highly recommend this place, they have also great products for when it’s time to take off the makeup, other places make you pay for unnecessary products, this company provides anything you need in order to perk up and take off :)
Dear Darivette
Thank you for your message.
We are very glad you and your family spent the special time at our studio.
I hope you had a wonderful experience in Kyoto.
And please keep your beautiful Maiko pictures as a nicememories!
If you have a chance to visit to Kyoto again, we would like to see you someday.
Thank you very much.
Have a nice trip!

We weren’t sure what to expect as I did this online before our trip. However, all the reviews are accurate - this was a great experience. The tea house is outside the main Geiko areas in Gion but it’s very easy to find. We ended up having a private event with our family of five and it could not have been better. Our Maiko was very sweet, spoke very good English, and performed a beautiful a dance and tea ceremony. Very happy we booked this event instead of others we saw elsewhere that had larger groups, unnecessary inclusions, or were much more expensive. Note this performance and tea ceremony were with an apprentice Geiko (Maiko) but it was perfect for our family to observe and learn more about such a fascinating and elegant element of Japanese culture.

Our session was about 1.5 hours and we were given the option to make cup, mug, plate or bowl - 2 pieces in total.
We would have liked to make smaller pieces however we ended up making 2 cups each.
Beautiful and relaxing space and host was delightful - his work is lovely.
If we go back to Kyoto we would love to do this again.

建物の中は京都らしい佇まいで、風情があり良かったのですが、茶道の先生?お店の方はせっかくのお着物の着付けは乱れており、小学生の子供と参加させて頂きましたが、その子供が先生のことを横柄だったと口にするほどでした。
毎日繰り返しのことになり流れ作業のようになられているのかも知れませんが、こちらとしては期待を込めて参加しておりますので少し残念でした。
対応が不十分に感じられたようで、残念に思います。当日は海外のお客様とご相席だったかと思いますが、マンツーマンのレッスンでしたら、おひとりおひとり、対応ができます。ご質問がないかどうかなど、日本語でもお聞きしたと思いますが、態度が横柄と思われたのは、非常に残念です。また、弊店は、茶道体験教室ですので、初心者の方向けの教室です。茶道のご経験があられる方で、体験以上のものを求められる場合は、経験年数が長く、日本人の方のみを対象とした教室をお勧めいたします。
また、ホテルや旅館やお茶会のサービスではなく、教室ですので、お客様に「こうしてください」と申し上げることもございます。その点、ご理解いただきたく思います。
レッスンを受けるより、サービスだけという場合でしたら、料亭等でされています、お茶席に参加されることをお勧めいたします。
お店の方というご認識のようですが、弊店では、裏千家専任講師の資格のある者が対応しております。

This location is to easy to find and very close to another big tourist spot. The bus goes almost to the door. currently road works are making the bus routes all a little different so that does need to be noted. The ceremony it self was amazing. The lady that held the ceremony is a master of her craft and has an exquisite eye for detail. I would totally recommend. We booked the group Tea Ceremony as it was cheaper we only had one other person join our group of three.
Thank you very much for coming to Tea Ceremony here. Yes, here is very close to Golden Pavilion, Kinkakuji temple.I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the tea ceremony!

The samurai sword dance lesson was a really fun and great experience. The instructor did pay special attention to every participant and made sure we learnt and understood. The staff was very polite. We also dressed in amazing costumes which gave us an authentic feel. We clicked lot of pics and got prints of our photos as a token from the staff. It's a must have experience when in Kyoto.

出張で何度も京都に訪れていて、寺社仏閣は一通り見ましたが、お座敷や舞妓さん、芸妓さんなどと接することには縁がなかったので、一度は体験したいと思い申し込みました。
時間は90分と少し短いですが、料理とお酒が付き、気さくな舞妓さんでいろいろな質問にも答えてもらい、写真撮影も何回も応じてもらい、また、お茶屋などでは高額なことが、この料金で一通りの体験ができ、大変満足しています。
今回は、キャンセルがでたことと、季節柄、申込者が少ないことも重なり、5人の参加者でじっくり鑑賞できましたので、ラッキーでした。
また機会があれば申し込みたいと思います。

The activity was fun and we enjoyed doing it but I feel it should be renamed.
This activity was more stencilling on a small wall hanging rather than the 'dyeing' we expected. There were many stencils to choose from and we were allowed plenty of time. Demonstrations were good & the explanations clear. This is a good family activity or for someone wanting to do some easy Japanese craftwork. Just be clear- it is using various applications of colour with a stiff brush over stencils that line up to create an overall picture on a small wall hanging.

Cool experience! Many people look at me!
Although i feel better customer service can be provided, because the makeup remover and wearing of the interior clothes can be confusing. And most times left alone not knowing what is going on. For people interested in this, it is good to choose the package to paint your face, because the experience is completely different and it make your trip more worth it.
Another thing to take not, the removing of makeup process is pretty long. When the whole event is over, husband, man or friends waiting for woman to finish changing, please be patient, prepare for 45-60mins for the women to be done changing off
Dear ylis
Thank you for your message.
We are very glad you spent the special time at our studio.
Maiko is one of the traditional Japanese culture.
But kimono is very tight, wig is very heavy, and make up takes a long time, so you have to take a long time to remove it. However I think this transformation experience will be one of special memory for you in Kyoto.
If you have a chance to visit to Kyoto again, we would like to see you someday.
Thank you very much.
Have a nice trip!

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.

I'm from Kyoto but I've always wanted to try a maiko makeover.
The staff were all very nice people and helped so much!
Thank you.
They did my makeup so well and it was really great. They ask you if you would prefer a "cute look" or a "beautiful look" and do your makeup style for whichever you choose. They can change the look with eyebrow makeup and eyeliner. I chose the "cute look" makeup.
You can choose from so many kinds of kimono and kanzashi! While I asked the staff several questions like "what color of kimono do real maiko wear?" I chose my kimono. As for my kanzashi, I chose June's flower, the hydrangea.
The photographer was also wonderful and made me feel much less nervous with the fun conversation we had. I recommend taking the photos in the garden which has a different atmosphere from the room.
While walking around, a lot of travelers took photos with me! It was really embarrassing, but on the other hand, it made me happy!
The changing room is very large and they have face wash, shampoo, lotion, hair dryers, towels, contact lens solution, so you don't need to bring anything.
I showed my mother and grandmother the photos I took on the day of the makeover and they loved them!
Next time I want to bring my friends from other prefectures and from overseas to do this with me. Thank you for making it a great experience from start to finish.

It was an amazing experience. If this makeover is something that you have dreamed of doing, then I absolutely recommend doing it. I was only disappointed that it rained on my day, and therefore, I couldn't walk the streets, however, that did not deter me from enjoying the day. The girls were great.
