Loved Gion Odori experience.
When I purchased the ticket was not sure how will work.You don't have an assigned a seat, so you don't know where they are going to put you, but the site was good, at the top, so I could enjoy the show. It is a pity that no photographs can be taken at any time. I would have liked to keep a graphic memory, even if there could be only in a final part of the show.
Upon arrival you must enter directly through the great door and show the paper of the purchase, inside they have your ticket prepared with your name in an envelope. If you only have the show ticket, you don't have to stand in line, just enter the room and wait for a worker to take you to your seat.

Our hostess was charming and friendly. She was able to demonstrate and explain the art of calligraphy very clearly and we had a great time practicing our words and names and then producing a copy to take home and frame. My son and I were the only ones in the class so had her undivided attention. She was very complimentary about all our efforts.
As a bonus we asked for the recommendation for any nearby sushi restaurants, and she sent us to a sensational place.

I just finished reading a manga about Prince Shotoku, which made my visit to Horyu-ji and Chugu-ji very interesting. At Jiko-in, I enjoyed tea and sweets in a wonderful garden, and since it was tea time after lunch, it was very nice.
ちょうど、聖徳太子のまんがを読んだばかりで、法隆寺、中宮寺を興味深くまわることが出来ました。

江戸切子のレッスンはすべて英語で行われました。ドイツからのオフィスの交換同僚がいて、説明や指示は非常にわかりやすかったです。
良い点:
- 駅から近い会場
- 英語での指示が理解しやすい
- 選べるグラスがたくさんある
- 当日に自分の「アート作品」を持ち帰れる
- 切ったり彫ったりする作業があるものの、とても安全
- みんなが完成した作品にとても満足していた
- 写真映えする
- 食事を楽しめる興味深い場所がたくさんある(良いロケーション)
- とても楽しく、美しい
悪い点:
- 当日の支払いは現金のみ
- 2回目以降の割引はあるのか?
- 一度に6人以上のチームにはあまり向かないかもしれない(切断機が6台しかないため)
- 90分では1つ以上作りたい場合は十分な時間ではないかもしれない
The Edo Kiriko lesson was done all in English.
We had office exchange colleague from Germany and the explanation/instructions were very easy to follow.
Pros:
-venue close to the station
-easy to understand instructions in English
-lots of glasses to chose from
-can take your "art work" home on the day
-though it involves cutting and carving, it was very safe
-everyone was very happy with the finished work
-very photogenic
-many interesting places to eat out afterwords (good location)
-lots of fun and it is beutiful
Cons:
-could only use cash for paying on the day
-any discount prices for second time on words?
-many not be so good for a team of more than 6 at a time since they only have 6 cutting machines
-90 min may not be enough time if you want to make more than one

Initially, I had booked the Saturday show but it was unavailable. Veltra was able to let me know and gave me a couple of different options to choose from as an alternative. I was able to change my reservation to the Sunday lunch. I would recommend paying extra for the front row and for the lunch. The lunch was a nice selection of Kyoto cuisine. Also, if you get sake, the Maiko will serve it to you. The Maiko was lovely and charming. Her performances were breathtaking and she was very thorough with her answers to out questions. It was also fun playing games with her. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it if you have a couple of hours to spare.

I participated alone. Everyone else was in pairs, making a total of four groups. The small number of participants allowed for thorough explanations. At the beginning, there was practice time to dig three stars, and then we used our favorite glass for the actual event. For the design, we chose our favorite from the samples on the table. It was difficult to replicate the samples perfectly, but the staff helped cover up any major mistakes. There is an additional charge for colored glasses.
一人で参加しました。私以外はペアで参加していて、全部で4組です。
少人数で説明も丁寧でした。初めに星を3つ掘る練習の時間があって、好きなグラスで本番です。デザインは机上のサンプルから好きなデザインを選びます。なかなか見本のようにできませんが、大きな修正はスタッフの方がごまかしてくれました。
色付きのグラスは追加料金が発生します。

The food was delicious, the ship was clean, and the staff's response was warm, which I thought was great. I requested a cruise for the day we arrived, but we couldn't make it due to traffic. I called several times, and while they provided guidance over the phone, the tone and attitude conveyed through their voice felt very intimidating. It was disappointing, as it felt like they were talking to a friend. Of course, it was our fault for not making it on time... Even though we were told to hurry through the traffic, we barely arrived on time, and when we got there, we were given a second opinion. We paid an additional fee and rescheduled for the next day. The experience was very satisfying, and we had a wonderful time. I would like them to provide larger notices regarding the meeting time. After 4 PM, the traffic becomes unmanageable, so I recommend acting early!
ご飯も美味しく、船内も綺麗で スタッフの方の対応も暖かく、よかったと思います。
到着したその日のクルーズをお願いしたのですが、渋滞で間に合いませんでした。 何度かお電話して頂き、電話での案内をしてくれたのですが、 言葉遣いや態度が声から伝わってきて、すごく怖かったです。 友達と話しているかのような対応で、残念でした。 もちろん時間に間に合わなかったのはこちらの原因ですが…
渋滞の中急げと言われても間に合わず、ギリギリ時間に着いたのですが、 着いた時にセカンドオピニオンを言われました。 プラス料金を払って 次の日にして頂きました。 内容は大満足。 とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
もう少し大きく、集合時間についての案内を書いて欲しいです。16時を過ぎると渋滞で動かなくなるので、お早めの行動をおすすめします!

If you're going to Tokyo, I recommend trying something you've never done before, like a traditional yakatabune (houseboat). The delicious food and the fun guide, along with the boat staff, made the one-and-a-half-hour cruise fly by.

Next time, I want to ride while enjoying the cherry blossoms or fireworks.

This was a lovely performance by the Gion Geiko and Maiko. Keep in mind this isn't a traditional performing art; in Japan Geisha usually "perform" in private settings for very wealthy individuals. You could book a geisha dinner for several hundred dollars per person, or you could go to one of these shows if you are lucky enough to be in town while one of these performances is going on and get a taste of Geisha art in a theater setting. It was a beautiful performance!

Maiko is cute, and I was happy to have enough time to enjoy a fun time. It's not often that I get the chance to talk with Maiko, so I was really happy to do so while having a meal, especially since she poured me some drinks. However, I arrived more than 30 minutes early and waited outside, but since there was no line, I ended up getting the last seat in section A. I recommend that those who arrive early line up in front of the stairs.

なかなか、マイコさんとお話しする機会もないですし、それを食事しながら しかもお酒も注いでもらえてハッピーでした。

When in Kyoto, tourists walk the streets of Gion, in the hope of spotting Maiko and Geisha. Some will try and take photos inconspicuously of them as they walk by, while others will pay over $200 for a dinner in order to see a Maiko perform 1 dance. This experience which is only available each year for about 10 days in November, will give you everything you need when it comes to seeing true geisha. It’s affordable, you get to see many geisha and maiko and they perform 10 acts during the 1 hour show. You can even take a photo with 2 maiko for a small donation.
There is also a tea ceremony you can be apart of if you turn up at 1pm. It’s a rush job and really confusing because of the language barrier, but basically you sit down, put the pink ticket on the table in front of you and they give you something to eat (little glutenous bun with red bean paste inside) and some matcha tea. You also get to keep the little pink plate the treat is served on. According to the kids (who were trying to be funny), you get to keep the plate because it saves on washing. It was a bit of a production line so we just folded up our treat to go, sipped our tea quickly and left to make room for the next groups of people waiting.
Thanks to Veltra, getting our tickets was super easy and our 7 seats were in the front row. Initially we were worried we might be too close but the seats were great.

My friends from abroad and their fiancé came to Japan, and since they had just gotten engaged, I thought it would be a nice memory to gift them this plan. The staff at the store spoke English, so there was no need for interpretation each time, and the location was convenient, being close to Senso-ji Temple. Both of them were able to wear a kimono for the first time, and they said it was a wonderful experience and a great memory. I believe it would also be a good memory for Japanese people, but this time I felt I was able to provide a wonderful hospitality, and I'm glad I chose this option.

I was very happy to find a facility where I could interact closely with maiko, who usually feel like they belong to a distant world. I believe it's because of the moderate number of participants. The flow of activities, including food, dance, talk (Q&A time), games, and photos, kept everyone engaged. Most of the guests were foreigners, but I think anyone, regardless of age, who has even a slight interest in maiko would be satisfied.
普段遠い世界の舞妓さんと、このような形で身近に触れ合える施設があるのはとても嬉しく感じました。程良い人数の参加者だからこそではないでしょうか。

The geisha was so amateur, she was shaking while dancing. Nobody explained the way we should eat the traditional food.
On the way back, the tour leader was just speaking Japanese and didn’t care about foreigners attendants. She was speaking Japanese all the way back, and sometimes they were laughing or clapping and we as foreigners just waiting for some explanations but nothing.
In my idea it was a dishonor to non-Japanese guest. The tour provider company should provide the same Facilities for all guests. In General it was an expensive activity with poor facilities!
