I made a reservation for a special experience because my mother and grandmother were visiting my daughter (me) for the first time from Kyushu.
I hadn't told my grandmother where we were going, so when we arrived at the studio, she almost tried to run away, and I apologize for the trouble. However, the staff kindly helped her change while complimenting her, and she was able to change clothes safely.
The four of us, three generations plus the main character, got to wear kimonos, and we also requested the optional photography on-site (4,000 yen for one photo per group).
Since it's not often that people in their 60s and 90s wear bright patterns, it seemed to be a refreshing experience for them, and both were very happy, looking at the photos at home.
When we come to Tokyo again, we would love to visit again. Thank you for your kindness!
九州から娘(私)の元に母と祖母が初めて遊びに来るということで特別な体験をと思い予約しました。
祖母へはどこに連れて来られるかも告げていなかったのでスタジオについたときは最初逃げ出しそうになりご迷惑おかけしましたが、スタッフの皆様が褒めながら着せてくださり無事に着替えることができました。
3世代+主人公の4人で着物を着せてもらい、オプションの撮影も現地でお願いしました★
(+4000円で1枚/1グループ)
なかなか60代90代になると明るい柄を着ることもないので新鮮だったようで2人ともとても喜んでおり家でもずっと写真を眺めています。
また東京に来る際は是非宜しくお願いします。
親切にしていただきありがとうございました!

On January 2nd, my family of four participated in an experience. Due to the New Year holidays, we were informed in advance that host families could not be found, so the event was held at "Hatoba Station" in Motobu. The content was also irregular. The sanshin class was taught by the president of the local tourism association. We arrived early and were first given a tour of the town center of Motobu and had the chance to scoop up the local fish, gurukun, with a net. For lunch, we enjoyed the live gurukun sashimi, butter-grilled gurukun, and fish soup. The conversation with the sanshin instructor was very enjoyable, and we had a truly meaningful time. Although I have visited Okinawa many times, this was the first time I had such a long conversation with local people, and it was very healing. I would like to participate in this program again during my next visit to Okinawa. I also want to use the "Uminomai" menu from the "Umi Seikatsu" program that helped us this time. Thank you very much.
1月2日に家族4人で体験してきました。正月休みのため、受け入れ家庭が見つからないとのことで、本部町にある’波止場の駅’内での開催となり、内容もイレギュラーになると事前に連絡があった上で参加しました。三線教室については地元の観光協会の会長さんに指導していただきました。早めに到着しましたが、最初に本部町の中心街の町案内をしていただいたり、生簀のグルクンをタモですくったりしました。昼食はそのグルクンの活造り、バター焼き、あら汁を出していただきました。三線講師のかたとのゆんたくもとても楽しく、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。何度も沖縄は来ていますが、初めてと思うくらい地元の方と長時間話をさせていただき、とても癒されました。次回来沖時は本プログラムのほうでも参加したいと思います。また、今回お世話になった【海生活】の海人メニューも利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for using our services. I apologize for the irregular handling and any inconvenience it may have caused, but I am relieved to hear that you enjoyed your experience. Thank you once again. We would be grateful if you could give it another try on your next visit. We look forward to welcoming you again. Yanbaru Biyori, Yamada
このたびはご利用いただき有難うございました。イレギラーでの対応となってしまい、ご迷惑をお掛け致しましたが、お楽しみ頂けたとのことでホッとしております。改めまして有難うございました。次回お越しの際は、是非再チャレンジ頂ければ幸いです。またのお越しを楽しみにお待ち申し上げております。やんばる日和 山田

My wife and I did this experience together. The dressing studio is small and bustling, and being able to experience the art of formal kimono dressing was something we will never forget. Although we were the only foreigners there, suggesting this place does a robust local business, the English-speaking assistant was very accommodating. We were given a variety of beautiful kimonos to choose from, and ended up adding on a photo shoot package at the last minute, which they were great about. I have already recommended this experience to a friend who is traveling to Tokyo in a couple weeks.
Thank you so much for coming to our studio, and it`s our honor to have your compliment. We are very much looking forward to having you over our studio again!

I participated three times and encountered the sunset twice. Is it a privilege of attending alone? I was able to enjoy my meal at a two-person table by the window and had a beautiful view. The staff on board were also very approachable, which made any worries disappear. Matsumoto's singing and performance were amazing!!! It's a shame that I couldn't fully immerse myself in the music because of the meal! I bought the CD without hesitation. Every time I listen to the CD, I think of the sunset in Okinawa, the Moby ship, the staff, and Matsumoto. Next time I participate, I will bring my wife along to share the experience together!
3回参加し2回サンセットに遭遇しました。
ひとり参加の特権?窓際のふたり掛けテーブルで食事が出来きれいに見ることが出来ました。

We booked the evening not being so sure of what would be the evening since i think the description of the product is not good, you cannot be sure if it a party or dinner.
We spent a wonderful evening with our Maiko in a tea house which in Japan means a private club house.
Dinner was the high Kaseiki Kyoto cuisine, sake was pouring freely.
Our Maiko was delightful, she entertained us and was cute, funny and her dancing was exquisite.
I booked the translation services in order for us to fully appreciate the evening and it was worth every penny, since we could communicate with our Maiko and Peter was very knowledgeable of the Japanese culture.
Great value for money evening, away from the crowed evenings.
Thank you very much for your review, and for choosing our tea house for your maiko experience.
We are glad to hear you enjoyed yourself!
We will continue to do our best to provide the best Kyoto-style hospitality,
and we hope you will have a chance to visit Kyoto again.

I brought my family to Asakusa, solely to participate in this activity. At first, they were very apphrehensive, but after donning the kimonos with the help and reassurances of the staff, my parents enjoyed this as much as I, a young adult, did!
If you're looking for a fun family activity, or an activity that allows you to dress up and admire the beauty of Japan's reach history, then this is the one for you! The staff are super duper helpful, and assisted us in finding the best places to photograph our outing! The staff also pointed us to Kaminarimon, a Japanese gate whose shopping street leads you directly to Senso-ji, Asakusa's most famous temple!
My only regret is that the selection of kimonos mostly consists of flower themed fabric; there were little to none featuring animals such as skylarks, koi, or even just trees and branches. But other than that, this experience was well worth it!

We enjoyed every moment of this tour. It was well organized. The Kaiseki dinner was delicious. It gave us a taste of various kinds of Japanese traditional food. The Maiko dance was beautiful and captivating. After the dance, we had a short stroll at the very beautiful Japanese garden which was very enjoyable! The last brief stop of the tour was going to the top of a mountain to see the night view of Kyoto which ended the evening perfectly. We just found we hadn't had enough of all of it!

It's great that Veltra offered this service which allowed me to buy the ticket in advance. The tickets of this performance were actually only sold at the theater
As I bought it in advance via Veltra, I just collected my ticket at the entrance without worrying about the queue and out of tickets. The show was actually full house when I arrived there! So I highly recommended to buy ticket online in advance.
Before the show, there was a brief tea session in a big room with Maiko performing tea ceremony. The dance performance was like going back in time and totally immersed into Japanese culture!

Beautiful costumes, live musicians, well designed sets etc made for a dramatic performance- not just beautiful girls moving around to recorded music.
