Fantastic!
Reviewed by: Rose W, 2018/10/14Ellie was excellent, explaining the history and present day details of the community of the geisha. We visited lots of different areas and really felt the atmosphere. Well worth going. I would recommend this tour

Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide
Perfection
Reviewed by: Tiffany, 2018/10/05We had perfect weather and a wonderful, friendly guide. The walk is long enough to see it all but short enough not to tire. Loved all the facts about Geiko-san and Meiko-san. We were lucky enough to see a Meiko-san. This has been the highlight of my trip to Japan.

Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide
An average tour
Reviewed by: Irit, 2018/09/30The tour was ok. It gave some information and took us through nice streets. It taught us a bit about the meaning of Geisha in the Japanese world. However it was not interesting enough to justify two hours of tour. We saw some relevant houses from outside which opened our eyes to realize what these houses are but it felt as if we are avoiding on purpose encountering the Gaishas themselves.
All in all it was not enthusiastic experience.

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
A Special Experience
Reviewed by: Daniel, 2018/09/24Friendly staff, with very good English speaking assistant. Made welcome right away. It is a small scale private event. Dinner dishes were excellent and varied. The show itself was authentic, nice to learn more details about this art and culture including via direct conversation with the performing Maiko. A great way to round off a memorable stay in Kyoto.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
A rare and magic experience
Reviewed by: Jade, 2018/09/07I have worked as a tour guide in Japan in the past and have done many tea ceremony's but none compare to this experience!
The artistry of a geisha is one of the oldest and mysterious jobs in the world. This experience breaks down that mystery to make it even more respected and beautiful.
I was so happy to be holidaying and sharing this experience with my friends this time and will definitely be back in the future again.
Thank you!

舞妓変身体験 スタジオ撮影・散策プラン 本格メイク＋本絹の手刺繍＆手縫い着物着用＜京都市／清水寺＞by 舞妓変身スタジオ四季
正絹の着物とプロのお仕事‼︎
Reviewed by: 滝根陽花, 2018/08/28念願の舞妓体験、娘を連れて行って参りました。車で行きました。パーキングは清水寺の駐車場が一日1000円でお安くて徒歩圏内でお勧めです。スタジオは空調もしっかりしていて、待合室には大きな画面で映画、本、給水機完備、と至れり尽くせりでした。着物が正絹手縫いとのことでチョイスした四季さん。総絞りや辻ヶ花も沢山ありました。基本料金がお安目で、必要に応じて追加できます。写真4枚付きスタジオ撮影プランでしたが、写真4枚をフォトブック2冊にして、半かつら、データ購入、を追加しました。フォトブック2冊は両方の実家に配り、私と娘はデータで保存、というライフスタイルに合わせた管理が出来ました。近所には食べたり買ったりが楽しい場所ばかりで、観光も堪能できます。10分間のセルフ撮影は、背景の素敵な場所を支度してあり、大満足でした。ありがとうございました。
滝根陽花 様
先日はご来店いただき有難うございました。
舞妓体験をご満足いただきスタッフ一同、本当に嬉しく思います。
サービスに限らず施設設備までコメントいただき重ねて御礼申し上げます。
暑い時期にお越しいただきましたが、秋の紅葉シーズン・春の桜シーズンはロケーションも非常に良く、
是非とも散策に出ていただきたいと思います。
またのご来店をお待ちしております。

Kyoto Maiko Entertainment with All-You-Can-Drink Full Course Dinner & Photo Op
It was a fabulous evening.
Reviewed by: Lisa and Jack Rhind, 2018/08/04My husband and I really enjoyed this experience of having dinner with a Maiko!
It was a highlight of our trip to Japan. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the dinner was delicious! We enjoyed the Maiko's dances and especially getting to speak to her and interract with her. There were only 6 of us at dinner so there was lots of time to speak to Maiko and she was happy to answer all of my questions! We enjoyed playing the games with her as well and I even beat her at one of them! I would strongly recommend this evening to anyone who wants to experience the mysterious geisha world up close and personal. I loved every minute of it!

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Tea ceremony with a Maiko
Reviewed by: AKCH, 2018/07/27It was a very nice experience with a young Maiko. If you are interested and you know already the life and their habits, it is a no-brainer (go for it). If you don’t know anything you may be a bit tense during the discussion with the Maiko. In the past, this was impossible (still 10 years ago). Today some Okia (place where the Maiko and Geiko are living) has open to foreigners as they will likely not continue in 30 years. This culture will end slowly unfortunately.

Kyoto Gion Geisha District Evening Walking Tour with English-Speaking Guide
Atmospheric evening tour of Gion
Reviewed by: Keenwalkerphotos, 2018/07/06Great tour taking us all around Gion, through Yasaka temple, ending up at Gion Corner as night fell. Our guide Ellie took us in a group of 25 through the back streets, telling us the in-depth history of Gion, the geikos (geishas) and Maikos, and pointed out significant buildings. It was a wonderful tour and gave us insights we could never have got from a guidebook or the internet. Would recommend it fully to anyone who would like to explore fully the history of Gion and Kyoto itself.

2024 Kamogawa Odori Tickets (May 1-24)
Rare Opportunity to Watch Geisha
Reviewed by: MaryWilder, 2018/06/13I would recommend this show to anyone who is in Kyoto during the performance period and who would like to see authentic geisha. The costumes and dances were beautiful and well worth the expense. Know beforehand that the show has speaking parts in Japanese with no translation, but an English programme is available for purchase. I opted for electronic tickets through VELTRA and had no issues picking up tickets from the box office. Our tickets included a tea ceremony, where we received delicious tea, a sweet, and a souvenir plate.

Booking was so easy through veltra and this offer was brilliant

Dear Pippa
Thank you for your comment.
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed taking your maiko pictures.
There are many maiko transformation studios in Kyoto, but I think our shop is the best for foreign tourists.
It is because we have many reservations from overseas, so all staff is studying English now.
Besides, we have English staff, Chinese staff and Spanish staff.
If you have a chance to visit to Kyoto again, we are looking forward to see you someday.
Sincerely,
Maiko transformation studio SHIKI

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op
Very special experience
Reviewed by: RTO Group, 2018/06/04If you want to meet and see a Maiko up close, this is the experience for you. My family and I were seated in an intimate setting and served tea and sweets while we witnessed a traditional tea ceremony as well as dancing and game playing with the Maiko. After the traditions were presented to us we were permitted to ask questions and take photos. It was a wonderful experience and definitely a highlight of our trip to Kyoto.

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
Wish there was more of a Geisha show.
Reviewed by: Monique, 2018/05/15The food was based off of local Kyoto tradition and was a wide selection of food. There was a Geisha dance but it was only one Geisha and was a short performance which was disappointing. The place was nice and garden was pretty though.

Kyoto Maiko or Geisha Makeover Experience for Groups and Families
memorable mother-daugther experience
Reviewed by: swiss family, 2018/05/14* location - easy to find with Google maps. Just around the corner from the Yasaka Shrine. Lovely Little streets around the studio to wander around.
* staff - lovely staff (Yoshiko and Yukiko), they had good english, answered our questions patiently, were wonderful with my 8yr old, friendly
* activity - very well organized from a timing perspective. Although it was a tiny building it was well organized with change room, Makeup room downstairs and the dressing room and photo studio upstairs.
* Overall - it is an expensive activity but you take from it such a memorable experience and lovely photos.
Thank you for visiting AYA the other day. We feel honored that we had you and you had fun with us. Hope your trip was wonderful and had a blast in Kyoto. Arigato!!
