【芸妓さんと舞妓さん／岡崎庵 催行】舞鑑賞＋お座敷遊び 舞妓文化に触れる貴重な体験を＜混載／撮影自由／東山駅＞
敷居が高いイメージがありましたが、とても楽しめました！ お食事も京都らしい内容でとても満足です。舞妓さんも気さくに話してくださり写真も一緒に撮影してもらい良い思い出になりました！
Reviewed by: のぐすけ, 2019/08/09京都もいろいろ行きましたが、舞妓さんを体験してみたく思い予約しました。
料亭や旅館でも同様のサービスはあったのですが、こちらの岡崎庵さんは、かしこまった雰囲気でもなく初めてでも安心できました。
お料理も京都らしい食材や内容でボリュームもありとても満足できました。
もともと岡崎庵さんは、映画や小説にもなった有名な方の個人の邸宅だったらしく、外観とは違う独特な雰囲気が印象的でした。普段は結婚式などの貸切利用以外は解放はしていないようです。神戸の異人館みたいな感じです。
舞妓さんの舞が行われる場所は、別フロアにある能舞台でした。総檜造りらしく非日常感が素晴らしかったです。写真撮影もOkですし、舞妓文化についての説明が司会者さんからもあり分かりやすかったです。外国人観光客のための通訳もあるようです。
舞を堪能したあとは舞妓さんと一緒に撮影をしたり、かんざしやお着物についての質問コーナーなどもあり、とても楽しい時間でした。
舞妓さんや芸͡妓さん遊びはとても高いイメージがありましたが、この内容なら
とても価値あると思います。
檜舞台のある場所は、履物を脱がなければいけないようです。
場所は地下鉄東西線の東山駅から歩いて10分程度ですが、平安神宮の参道を通て行くので退屈しません。

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Memorable Experience in Kyoto
Reviewed by: Deb, 2019/07/21Our multi-generational family (from age 12 to 79) thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The kids were warmly welcomed and included. The Maiko (I think her name was Tomichie) was magnificent and extraordinary, and the mother of the house did a wonderful job explaining everything we experienced. Taking photos was welcomed and encouraged. Conversation time with the Maiko was pleasant and easy (her English was excellent). The length of time was perfect for our group; we were able to enjoy the experiences and the kids didn't get restless. I highly recommends this experience.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Welcome to Kyoto~
Reviewed by: lisa k, 2019/07/06We 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!

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Highlight of our Trip to Japan
Reviewed by: Belinda, 2019/07/01We 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.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Amazing experience-highlight of our trip
Reviewed by: EmilyJ, 2019/07/01I 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)!

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with Optional Meal
A short but lovely visit with maiko
Reviewed by: Jessie, 2019/06/30This 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!

Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide
Loved it!
Reviewed by: Asha, 2019/06/21Walking through this quaint, quiet part of Kyoto with a very entertaining guide was fun and a good learning experience. Paced really well. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and our group was lucky to see a Geiko and 3 Maikos! So amazing! Good time of the evening to walk. Lots to see.

2024 Kamogawa Odori Tickets (May 1-24)
A fun way to get a taste of more traditional Japanese culture
Reviewed by: Avyncentia, 2019/06/16This was a great show! The dancers were talented, the comedy was funny (the acting was clear enough that I got the gist of it, despite not speaking any Japanese), and the scenery and costumes were beautiful. The seats were comfortable and better than I expected given the price. The theater wasn't too difficult to find and it's in the heart of Pontocho, which is an older area of Kyoto. I would highly recommend attending this show or similar if you get the opportunity!

Kyoto Maiko Dance Show with Optional Lunch & Photo Op
Geisha performance - probably rating is better than good, but overall not quite excellent - although it was excellent value for money
Reviewed by: Jonathan, 2019/06/10We were treated to a dance routine, and had ample time to discuss the geisha / maiko life. The location is not too difficult to find (given the general problems with Japanese addresses), although it is a little too formal (something which should be considered). Do not be put off by the need to buy at least one drink - they were perfectly reasonably priced.
Given the cost of this event (compared to other similar productions), it exceeded our expectations - although that was perhaps helped by the fact that we were few in number.
However, we we were given exactly what we were told - some dancing, the chance for photographs and plenty of time to talk to maiko and begin to understand the geisha life.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Wonderful experience
Reviewed by: AL R, 2019/06/06We 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.

Kyoto Maiko Makeover and Samurai Dress-up Experience with Optional Stroll Plan
Exciting experience
Reviewed by: Darivette, 2019/06/01The 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!

2024 Kamogawa Odori Tickets (May 1-24)
Kamogawa Odori - Once in a Lifetime
Reviewed by: Brandon, 2019/05/29The Kamogawa Odori performance is fantastic. It's incredible to see Geisha's perform - truly a once in a lifetime experience. The tea ceremony and photo-op were also very nice.
My ticket was in the first couple of rows, so I had a great seat the whole time. Everything is in Japanese (which I prefer due to its authenticity) but they had a program that had a short synopsis in English.
The performance itself was very well done with simple but beautiful set design and the iconic Geisha dress.
You absolutely need to 1) Travel to Kyoto and 2) Go to Kamogawa Odori (come in May!)

2024 Kamogawa Odori Tickets (May 1-24)
Fantastic; no problems whatsoever
Reviewed by: Someone, 2019/05/26I wasn't sure about VELTRA... But everything went perfectly! Email confirmation arrived quickly; Easy to show the coupon printout and swap for tickets; Accurate location instructions.
The show itself was extremely impressive, in a beautiful theatre space, and absolutely authentic. Besides tourists, there were LOTS of locals all dressed up to enjoy a quality performance.
I would 100% recommend using VELTRA's service if you want to see traditional Japanese theatre - so much easier than the official theatre website.
One caveat: dialogue is all in Japanese. If that bothers you, you need to broaden your mind.
Oh, and the barrage of souvineers beforehand was a little unexpected - But nothing that could possibly diminish the overall experience.

Lovely tea, excellent performance.
Reviewed by: Virginia, 2019/05/24I really enjoyed this experience. A large group of attendees were served tea and a tea sweet while a beautifully dressed maiko performed the tea preparation part of the tea ceremony. Then we could take pictures of two maiko. The performance included a play and a series of dances that were beautifully performed in gorgeous costumes. Even though I don't speak Japanese, I still had a pretty good idea of what was going on from the dance movements. I had an excellent seat. Wonderful experience.
