I wanted to experience a summer-like Kyoto, and while searching online, I found this site. It takes about 30 minutes from downtown Kyoto, but there is a bus service, making it easy to access a location that is quite difficult to reach on your own due to the poor mountain roads. Additionally, I enjoyed the meals right by the river, conversations with the geisha, and their dances, which exceeded my expectations and allowed me to truly savor a summer-like Kyoto.
夏らしい京都を感じたくネットで調べていたら、このサイトを見つけました。
京都市街地から約30分位かかりますがバス送迎あり、単独では行きづらいくらい山手の道も良くない場所なので楽でした。
また、川を目の前にした料理、舞妓さんとの会話、舞妓さんの踊りと予想以上に楽しめて本当に夏らしい京都を満喫して出来ました。

It's not that my hands are shaking, but the straight lines that seemed easy became shaky, and I was nervous that the glass might break if I carved too deeply. It ended so quickly. The teacher was kind and good at giving compliments, so I was able to enjoyably complete it, even though I wasn't very skilled. I recommend it even for those who are clumsy!
手が震えているわけではないのですか簡単に見えた直線がガクガクになったり、深く彫るとガラスが割れてしまうのではとドキドキしたり、あっというまに終わってしまいました
先生が優しく褒め上手なので下手ながらに楽しく完成させる事が出来ました

At first, I thought, "There's no way I can carve glass!" and "What if I mess up and can't fix it?" I hesitated, but I'm glad I decided to go for it.
There was an explanation and practice at the beginning, and even if things didn't go perfectly during the actual session, the instructor helped to some extent, and in the end, I was able to create something!
Achieving symmetry or carving the same pattern to the same size can be quite challenging, so sticking to a simpler design might actually work better!
It's a unique experience that you can't have just anywhere, so I highly recommend it. The classroom is located above a shop, so you can not only create but also purchase authentic Edo Kiriko glassware. Just browsing the store is a treat for the eyes!
The glasses are neatly packed in a box and placed in a paper bag, making them easy to take home! I think they would make great souvenirs for foreigners, and I encourage Japanese people to try it at least once! Highly recommended! (*^^*)
初めは「ガラスを削るなんて無理!」「失敗したら取り返しがつかないのではないか!」と思って躊躇していましたが、思いきって申込んで良かったです。
最初に説明と練習があり、また本番で上手くいかなくても、先生がある程度は修正してくださり、最終的にはなんとか形にすることができました!
左右対称とか同じ模様を同じ大きさに削っていくとかはかなり難しいかもしれないので、無難な柄にしておくと意外とイケるかも!!
専門の場所でないとできない体験なのでオススメです。教室の下階はお店になっているので、作るだけでなく本物の江戸切子を購入することもできます。お店を見るだけでも目の保養になります!
グラスはきちんと箱に入れて手提げの紙袋に入れてくれるので、持ち帰りにも便利です!外国人の方はお土産にしてもよいと思いますし、日本人の方でもぜひ一度は味わってみるとよいと思います!オススメです(*^^*)

Due to the impact of COVID-19, it was just my daughter and me on the day, which made me feel a bit guilty, but we received the best hospitality. My daughter, who just graduated from middle school, seemed to be the most moved and happy during this trip. The maiko was also adorable. Thank you very much. The prices were reasonable, and it was an experience we could enjoy without any pressure.
コロナの影響で当日は母娘2人の貸切り状態でした。かえって申し訳なく感じていたのですが、最高のおもてなしを受けました。中学を卒業したばかりの娘はこの旅行で一番の感動、嬉しかったようです。舞妓さんも可愛かったです。本当にありがとうございました。

A maiko named Kanohisa from Gion Higashi came to visit, and she was incredibly cute, like a doll.
The venue has tatami flooring, so you need to take off your shoes to enter. There are about eight rows of four-person tables, with designated areas for SS, S2, S3, and A seats. Since there were few guests and the front was empty, we were able to pay an additional fee on the day to move up and sit closer.
When the maiko appears, she first performs a dance. Next, there is a Q&A session where the maiko answers various questions. After that, you can take photos with her, either in pairs or in groups. Additionally, several people can try out traditional games with the maiko.
The food is provided by a catering service and was tastier than I expected. However, after the maiko appears, you won't have much time to eat, so it might be better to finish your meal before she arrives.
The seats at the back of the venue are quite far from the maiko, so since this is a special opportunity, I recommend choosing seats closer to the front.
The experience was packed with content, and I was able to enjoy watching the maiko closely and take plenty of photos and videos. I was very satisfied.
祇園東の叶久さんと言う舞妓さんが来てくれたのですが、とっても可愛らしくてお人形さんのようでした。
会場は畳敷きで靴を脱いであがります。4人がけのテーブルが8列ほど並んでいて、前からSS、S2、S3、A席の範囲がきまっています。お客さんが少なくて前方が空いていたため、当日追加料金を払って前に詰めて座る事ができました。
舞妓さんが登場すると、まずは舞を1曲披露してくれます。次はQ &Aのコーナーで色々と質問に舞妓さんが答えてくれます。
その後、舞妓さんとツーショットやグループで写真を撮ってもらえます。
そして、お座敷遊びを何人かチャレンジさせてもらえます。
お食事は仕出屋さんのものと言う事で、思ったよりも美味しかったですが、舞妓さんが登場した後は、ゆっくり食べられないので、出来るだけ舞妓さん登場前に食べてしまった方がよいかもしれません。
会場の後ろの席はだいぶ舞妓さんから遠いので、せっかくの機会ですので、なるべく前の席を選んだ方がよいと思います。
内容も盛りだくさんで、舞妓さんをゆっくり見ることが出来て、写真や動画も沢山撮る事が出来て、大満足でした。
Thank you for coming! The maiko will be present throughout the program. It’s a quick 70 minutes, so as you mentioned, the time before the maiko's appearance and the initial Q&A session with the maiko might be the best time to eat. Please do stop by again when you visit Kyoto!
お越しいただきありがとうございました!プログラム中は舞妓さんがずっとその場にいらっしゃいます。あっという間の70分ですので、おっしゃるように舞妓さん登場前、また最初の方の舞妓さんへの質問コーナーが食べ時かもしれません。また京都にお越しの際はぜひ、お立ち寄りください。

While I was interested in playing games with the maiko and geiko, the hurdle of being turned away as a first-time visitor was high. Recently, however, there have been more experience plans available, and I was able to enjoy a fun introduction to playing games with the maiko more easily than I expected.
I reserved a slightly better seat, S2, for an additional fee. Fortunately, there were no guests in the SS seats, so I had a great view.
The meal was from a famous catering company, and although it was cold (which can't be helped), it was delicious.
It felt like we ate during the question corner and game experiences (during my visit, we played Konpira Funefune).
You could order drinks at the beginning, with soft drinks costing around 300 yen, and it seems that if you order sake, the maiko will serve it to you.
The only downside was that the catering and drink preparations came from the stage side (the front), so I noticed staff coming in and out during the dances and questions.
I was able to ask various questions about how the maiko's kanzashi changes every month, the characteristics of their costumes, and the differences in attire between first-year and second-year maiko.
Being called "onee-han" by the maiko and taking photos together while playing was a rather ticklish experience, and I enjoyed it.
I participated with one other person, but there were also several individuals attending alone.
舞妓さん、芸妓さんとのお座敷遊びは興味はあれど、やはり一見さんお断りのハードルは高く。
最近は、体験プランみたいのが増えて、思った以上に手軽に楽しく舞妓さんと、お座敷遊びのさわりが体験できました
席はS2のちょっといい席を追加料金で予約
偶々SS席の方がいなかったので、よく見える席でした
食事も有名な仕出し屋さんのもので、(冷めていたのは仕方ないですが)美味しかったです。
質問コーナーや遊び体験(私の時はこんぴらふねふねでした)の間にご飯を食べる感じ。
飲み物は最初に注文もでき、ソフトドリンクなら300円程度、日本酒なら、舞妓さんのお酌が付くそうです。
唯一、難があるとすれば、仕出しや飲み物の準備が舞台側(正面)からでてくるので、踊りや質問の間にスタッフさんがチラホラ出入りするのが気になったことくらい。
舞妓さんのかんざしが毎月変わること、衣装の特徴、一年目と二年目以降の舞妓さんの装いの違いなど、色々質問も出来ました。
舞妓さんにおねえはん、と呼ばれて写真一緒に撮ったり、遊んだりは、中々こそばゆい体験で、楽しかったです。
私は2人で参加でしたが、1人で参加する方も何組かいました。
Thank you for participating this time. We understand that you were concerned about the staff's movements, and we have now made changes to the layout and flow to minimize their visibility to our customers. We look forward to welcoming you again if the opportunity arises.

You can enter the venue about 10 minutes before the event starts. Until then, you will wait in line on the stairs.
You can sit in the front rows for an additional price. While the seats in the back also provide a good view, the front seats are more suitable for taking photos and videos.
There were a few issues with the system this time, but there were staff members who responded politely, allowing us to participate in the tour. (I was surprised to find out that one of them was an acquaintance of my group!)
Considering the content and the meals, it is a very reasonably priced tour.
10分位前に会場に入場できます。
それまでは階段で並んで待ちます。
座席の前の方から追加の値段で座ることが出来ます。
後方の席でも十分に観覧できますが
かぶり席からなら写メやビデオを撮るのに適しています。

Although it was a short experience of about 50 minutes, I was surprised that the maiko came right in front of me to teach me. I never expected to see a maiko up close like this. Additionally, I enjoyed two beautiful and graceful dances by the maiko. During the games at the ozashiki (the parlor), the maiko won every time. It was a simple game, but I was able to participate, and on top of that, I was able to take a two-shot photo with the maiko, which was great. Thank you for providing such a rich and valuable experience.

The dinner with the maiko was good, but I was quite concerned about the lack of hospitality from the management.
◆ Difficult to see the stage
Since you are seated, I think the cheapest seats are quite hard to see from. Because you are not sitting on the floor, your view is very limited. However, despite purchasing the cheapest seat, I was upgraded to the next tier due to overbooking by the management, which allowed me to see somewhat better. Without this, I think I would have given it 2 stars.
◆ Staff passing by during the maiko's performance
The stage for the maiko was narrow, and next to it was the kitchen, where staff were moving around to get drinks while the maiko was performing, which was very distracting. There was a partition for the kitchen, but it was a shame that they didn't find a way to avoid passing right next to the maiko.
◆ Question time was not engaging and rather rude
After the maiko's performance, they jumped straight into a Q&A session without any explanation from the maiko, which left us unsure of what to ask, and it felt like my tour guide and I were awkwardly trying to come up with questions. Additionally, when asking about the origins of the foreign guests, the maiko responded with "Where?" to someone from Wales, and the host made a confusing comment saying, "The maiko doesn't know Wales, but she knows Scotland," which was both irrelevant and unclear. It was disappointing that, despite coming to Japan, the hospitality was lacking, and as a Japanese person, it made me feel a bit sad.
舞妓さんとディナーの料理は良かったのですが、運営側のホスピタリティに欠けていたので、結構気になりました。
◆舞台が見にくい
座って見る状態なので、一番安い席はかなり見えないと思います。床に座った状態でないので、視野がとても限定されます。ただ、一番安い席を購入したのにも関わらず、運営がオーバーブッキングしたため一つ上の席になってなんとか見れて良かったです。これが無ければ☆2をつけていたと思います。
◆舞妓さんの演目の横をスタッフが通り過ぎ
舞妓さんの舞台が狭く、その隣が厨房であり、舞妓さんが演目をしている横でお酒を取りに行くスタッフが横で動いていて目につき、とても気になりました。厨房自体には仕切りがありましたが、その仕切りを工夫すればわざわざ舞妓さんの横を通らずに済むのに、残念でした。
◆質問時間が盛り上がらないどころか失礼
舞妓さんの演目の後に、舞妓さんの説明がないまま質問コーナーを入ってしまうため、何を質問していいか困ってしまい、私やツアーガイドが気を使って質問しているような状態でした。
また、外国人の出身を聞く際、ウェールズから来た人に対して、舞妓さんが「何処?」って答えてしまったり、司会が「舞妓さんはウェールズは知らないけどスコットランドは知ってました」というフォローする相手も内容も意味不明なことを言っていて、せっかく日本に来たのにおもてなしできてなくて、日本人としてちょっと悲しい気分になりました。

Edo Kiriko dates back to 1836 and was recognized as a traditional Tokyo craft in 1985.
Using clear or colored glass, artisans sketch a design and use a grinder to cut intricate patterns (including flowers, leaves, bamboo woven baskets, and more modern interpretations).
In this one-hour workshop at Sokichi in Asakusa, you’ll have the chance to learn how Edo Kiriko is created. You start with practicing on a sample glass, then choose and sketch your design and cut your design.
At the end, you’ll have a chance to photograph your finished masterpiece.
Instruction and guidance was given in English and Japanese.
Outstanding opportunity to experience a traditional craft and a unique souvenir of your time in Japan, highly recommended!!

We participated in this sunset cruise as a family trip, coinciding with the timing of our younger child starting their career in spring. We were blessed with good weather on the day, enjoying our meal while gazing at the sparkling sea from the orange-tinted interior of the boat.
The food was more substantial than we had imagined, providing a satisfying experience for the price. After the meal, there was plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos on the deck. Although it was the last week of February, the deck felt a bit chilly as the sun set, so I think it would be good to have something to wear. I would definitely like to participate again on another occasion.

The pier was easy to find, and there were several boats lined up and we were so excited and tried to ride each one, there was a man at the pier who finally told us which one was our boat.
It was funny watching everyone coming down the earlier boats because they all looked tipsy!
When we got on board, the tables were already set with appetizers, and each table was assigned to a group. It was very interesting to see what each of the appetizers were, then we noticed a pot that had sukiyaki ready to cook!!! We tried the peach plum cocktail (all you can drink!)
We got served yummy shrimp, fish, veg tempura, then the candle under the sukiyaki pot was lit, as the boat sailed towards Odaiba. There was a stop at at Odaiba for a chance at amazing cityscape photos. By the time the candle burned out the sukiyaki was done - and it was very good and tasted clean and fresh.
Then there was a fun lion dance performed by one of the waiters - which was funny and quite entertaining.
All in all a fun first time experience for a Yakatabune cruise - would recommend you try it if you've never done one before.

It was my first experience on a yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat). There was singing and dancing, providing enjoyment beyond just the food and scenery, and I was very satisfied. When we boarded, there were just under 40 guests, with about 90% being Japanese. The food was very delicious and the portions were ample. The sashimi and meat were tasty, but the highlight was the freshly fried tempura. They served us hot anago (conger eel), squid, and shrimp. The drinks included a variety of options such as beer, chuhai, wine, and umeshu (plum wine).
From the yakatabune, we could see the Tokyo Skytree and Odaiba. It was especially great to get close to the waterborne Olympic monument set up in Odaiba and take photos. The boat trip lasted about two and a half hours, and it was a lot of fun. I’m considering taking a ride again during cherry blossom season or fireworks season.
初めての屋形船でした。歌あり、踊りありという感じで食事や景色以外の楽しみもあり、非常に満足でした。
私たちが乗船した時は40名弱のお客さんとの乗り合いで、日本人が9割という感じでした。食べ物はとても美味しく、また、ボリュームも十分でした。お刺身やお肉も美味しかったですが、一番は揚げたての天ぷらでした。アナゴやイカ、エビなどを揚げたてのものを運んでいただく形です。飲み物はビールや酎ハイ、ワインに梅酒と一通りの飲み物は揃っていました。
屋形船からの景色はスカイツリーやお台場を眺めることができました。特にお台場に設置された水上の五輪モニュメントは船で接近して写真を撮ることができて非常によかったです。
およそ2時間半の船旅でしたが、とても楽しかったです。また花見の季節や花火の季節での乗船を検討しようと思います。

The overal experience with this activity is marvelous. The staff is very friendly and patience in introducing the activity, as well as some history of the Food Sample Culture in Japan, which is a bonus point. You can tell he is very enthusiastic and enjoying this experience. Just an extra note, we communicated without any issue in English.
You get to choose your five pieces of colourful assorted accessories for your sundae. The cup of the sundae and the colourful jam at the bottom will be provided. You have to first fill up the base of the sundae cup, then the twirling cream at the top and place your assortments as you wish. The staff carefully checked every steps of the process, also fix any errors professionally. You will be guarenteed a outstanding food sample even for your first try.
As for the advice for future participants, since it takes a while for the food sample to dry off, it is better you plan your activites accordingly. Although, the staff did carefully stabilised the food samples in a provided paper box (in a very meticulous way, props to that) and bag so it was not an issue for us.

This was a wonderful experience that allowed my partner and I to see and do three of the things we had on our Kyoto bucket list: Enjoy a tradition Japanese meal, watch a beautiful Maiko perform, and so see the stellar night views of Kyoto! Make sure you bring your camera, as you will want to capture all the beauty of the night! I brought my polaroid and it was a big hit among other guest and the Maiko-san herself! Highly recommend taking this tour!

Thank you for visiting! We appreciate your participation in this situation! I heard it was your first time in Kyoto; travel is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm glad to have been a part of your family's journey. The maiko from that day also mentioned that we should meet again somewhere (your daughter, being a fan, should know where!). Thank you for your post! Until we meet again.
