We booked this on our first day in Kyoto as our way of immersing in the culture. Not one thing about it disappointed. It was long enough to feel we got the experience but short enough to keep our attention which was not easy since we were all jet lagged from the east coast of the US. We enjoyed our time with our hostesses and appreciated the candor in answering all of our questions and being willing to have pictures taken with us. We also were fascinated by the traditional tea ceremony performed. Very nice way to start the week!

We absolutely loved the hour we spent with the Maiko in Kyoto. We cannot recommend the Tea Ceremony highly enough, we are still talking about it. It was such a privilege to get an insight in to the Maiko and Geiko way of life. Thank you so much for allowing us to share this once in a lifetime experience.

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)!

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.

I absolutely loved my experience! This is a must do if you're in Kyoto. My advisor was super thorough and explained everything to me. They do the dressing and makeup in the traditional manner. They take photos of you and make sure they come out beautifully.

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.

I actually haven’t even expected to get such seamless experience. All steps of maica makeover were very well thought through, well planned and organized. I was very happy with makeup since I was also offered to choose between several makeup options. And both makeup, hairdo, dressing up was made fast and by highly skilled staff. There was a good selection of nice kimonos as well. I also liked flexible option of taking customized studio pictures.
Would definitely recommend this place!

The ladies that helped us get ready were so lovely and efficient. The photographer helps you pose and we went for a walk in a park and everyone came up to us and gave us beautiful comments on our look. Highly recommend!
I would definitely suggest doing the walking package where you can take your own photos as well.
And when we came back a little early, they took some more photos outside for us using our phones, so we could be in a group photo.

It was a deep dive into Japanese culture. A Gheisha (but they call theirself “Geiko”) danced for us and then made matcha tea for us (it was very good, and they also served us some Japanese sweets). After the tea, the geiko has talked with us about many things (where we came from, what we’ve visited in japan and so on). The whole cerimony lasts 40/50 minute.
I suggest to arrive a few minutes before, because the tea House is non so simple to find. I absolutely recommend this experience because it takes you into the real Japanese world, and you have the opportunity to talk to a real gheisha and know her lifestyle, her education, etc.

当日は桜が満開で天候にも恵まれました。
夕暮れの桜やライトアップを座ったままで見られるのは最高です。
バスには暖房がついているので窓側は結構暖かいですが、走行時の風をかなり受けます。膝掛けや手袋、マスク等はあった方が良いと思います。
出発前のトイレは忘れずに!渋滞に巻き込まれると時間が長くなります。トイレの為に途中で離脱された方もいらっしゃいましたので。

We had quite low expectations after reading in guide books that tourist tea ceremonies usually aren’t held with real Geiko, however this experience was fantastic. The tea room is rather unassuming but our party of 3 adults had the pleasure of a Spring Dance, tea ceremony and 30 minutes chatting to the Geiko (who spoke excellent English). We would highly recommend

We got a real taste of the geisha culture. We got to meet a geisha and a maiko.
We got to talk to them about their culture and lifestyle and also got pictures.
The dance performance was lovely, and the tea ceremony was fascinating. The house mother was very accommodating. Although she always seemed in a rush, a hurry.. she was very sweet and even translated conversations between us and the geisha and gave us a brief insight into their lives.
Overall, it was a memorable experience, we thoroughly enjoyed it even though it seemed a bit rushed.

It was wonderful to have this authentic experience. Great environment both the teahouse mother and the geiko-san were gracious and accommodating. They're truly dedicated to the geisha art and educating people about.
We learned so much and enjoyed our time at the Tomikiku tea house.
I would highly recommend. This is one of the highlights of our trip!

We thought the photo shoot would just be normal dressing up, but it is a lot more than that. The studio provided a complete photo shoot including make-up, dress and other accessories. The make-up for Maiko was a lot more fun and let you experience the real Maiko. The studio has all the essential stuff so you don't need to bring anything. They provided make-up remover, cream, oil and even normal make-up for when you clean up the Maiko. I really enjoy the make-up experience and chose my dress. We had about 15 minutes walk outside the studio in the Maiko experience in the Gion district which was very fun. I highly recommend this activity especially for travelers to Japan.
A minor suggestion to make the photo shoot experience more fun would be photographer should interact more with customers to make it more fun and relaxing experience while photo shooting otherwise for foreigners like us might feel a bit tense when posing.

友人と二人で祇園東のお茶屋「富菊」さんへ。友人は、お茶屋さんへ行くのが初めてで、事前に、ユーチューブでお座敷遊びの予習をするなど、楽しみにしたはりましたが、実際にお茶屋さんに行ってみて、想像をはるかに超えるたのしさだったと言って、大層喜んだはりました。お茶屋さんで受けた接待も、舞妓さんの舞いも、お遊びも、普段は経験できませんからね。出していただいたお料理も、つまみ程度のものではなく、十分過ぎるものでしたし、お酒もかなりいただいてしまい、「富菊」さんには大変感謝しています。

We were not quite sure what to expect from this. It is really hard to meet Maiko in private but thanks to Veltra we were able to meet a real Maiko (actually a Geiko), talk with her and have our photos taken with her.
We had all the time the we wanted to be with her, we never felt like we were rushed. The Maiko spoke English and she was an absolute delight to be seen. We will never forget this time. Thank you so much Veltra!.
