All Reviews for Tickets

For some reason they do not allow photos. This is 2017, every smart phone has a camera and especially coming from a foreign country you want to capture the experience. Next time just watch online the dozens of postings.

We arrived and were given some tickets in exchange for our online voucher. Then we were taken to some folding chairs in a passageway. I dont understand why we didnt get a normal seat in the theatre.

If you gave the chance to see this performance, don't miss it!

i bought the vouchers on line, and was told to exchange for tickets at the office at skytree or mitsubishi building. we walked for 3 miles to get to the skytree office and it was closed. we went to the skytree station as the map told us, but that was not the stop. the bus was good once we finally got on it

I really enjoyed it! I had a great time. I got a good overveiw of the whole city and saw parts of it I wanted to explore more:))

Difficult to locate Kintetsu ticket office to exchange vouchers for tickets.

The Gion Odori was an emotional, moving performance. You could never have the same authentic experience anywhere but Japan. There were maiko and prominent Kyoto residents in the audience, too, so you know it’s for real! The Veltra booking service made it super easy to get a ticket as a foreigner. I picked up my ticket at the theater about 30 minutes before the performance.

The show was very nice with magnificent colors. The location of our seats (view of the scene) was very good but the quality of the seat was poor, we were on add-on type hard seats instead of the normal softer seats. The show lasts one hour and tends to be boring with the same music and voice all along. In any case, a must-see show to get acquainted with Japanese culture.

Although, it rained our ENTIRE tour, we still had a good time. They provided plastic rain jackets which were great and we just stayed in the bus the entire trip around the city. Because the tickets are 24 hours, we were able to hop back on the next morning and actually see some sites OFF the bus. I forgot to print out my online ticket, but the ladies were able to work with the screenshot I showed on my phone. overall great experience.

If you're fortunate enough to be in Kyoto for this, I recommend you absolutely do it!

A few things to note:
-Booking online through Veltra guarantees you a seat; we were originally going to wait for tickets at the theatre itself, but they had long lines on the day of and it was SUPER cramped.
-We arrived an hour early to check in; just showed a print out of the Veltra voucher and got some souvenir stickers, and the lady at check-in said "Your seats are not very nice, so please accept this as an apology" -she gave us a free souvenir cloth - the same ones the Geiko & Maiko throw at the crowd during the show!
-We opted for the Tea Ceremony - After getting into a bit of a tight line on the upper level for 20 minutes, we got a piece of mochi and a bowl of green tea - just enough for a few sips, nothing too crazy/big. The room it is held in is quite small; it felt like a classroom with desks very close to each other. You are squeezed into a spot as soon as the previous people have vacated their seats; No photos but there is a Maiko and a Geiko at the front of the room looking quite solemn/stern so you might be lucky to be seated directly in front of them while you're enjoying your snack but you're equally likely to be put in the far corner. Again, a tight squeeze.
-The seats were really not that bad, we were on the highest level and it seems like other Veltra buyers were too (other Westerners). The view for us was great but it seems you don't have a choice in selection.
-It's not in the same spot as Gion Corner; the theatre for this is actually across the street from the Yasaka Shrine.
-Everything's in Japanese, heads up - even the program you receive. Again, we're a couple of fairly smaller people under 5'8" and it was a bit cramped - so take note if you're on the larger side. We noticed a heftier American couple with mobility issues having a slightly tougher time... but they also talked through the entire show. Avoid coming with bags!

One of the most beautiful dances I have ever seen and one of the highlights of my trip in Japan.

Nothing short of spectacular! These public dances emit a magical atomsphere that is sure to spell-bound everyone. There is nothing else like it in the world !

Good show with a quick cup of tea at first in a separate room. Easy to change the voucher into ticket (one hour before the show). Very pleased.

Very nice and impressive performance. The tee ceremony not really worth it, but the performance was excellent

It was very convenient that we were able to book this pass even when we were already at the train station. Practical if your trips utilize this line a lot. It would be great if you could retrieve the actual passes in any station in the Kintetsu line and not only selected stations.

Having the ticket beforehand has been great. I think there were still available tickets onsite when we got there but the place was pretty packed by showtime so still good to plan beforehand.

If you plan to do the tea ceremony, there will be several batches as the room is small. Try to sit in the first row to experience the Maiko serving you your tea.

I was given a foldable chair to sit in while other had regular seats in the theatre. I understand that I was not the only one given such a seat but it indicated that the theatre oversold their tickets? And given that I purchased my ticket one month in advance, I don't see how it should come to that. Veltra, as the go between, you should really look into the matter, or at least drop the booking from your site – as it reflects badly on you to be listing activities that don't meet a certain standard for paying customers. The show was great though.

Performance was excellent but was treated like maximazing turnover - tea ceremony too fast and on a personal level having book most expensive options well in advance was disappointed to be on an end row -on an additional hard chair unlike the the more comfortable seats in the auditorium - so my 3 reflects the efforts of the artists not the management

Have been to Kyoto before but never saw a dance performance. It was fantastic and the seats were very good too. I really appreciated being able to get them from the US before the trip -- I expect they would have been sold out by the time we were in Kyoto, especially as we had 7 people attending. Thanks, Veltra!

I came here around 5ish in the evening - in Autumn, where it's already dark. The minute I got the lift - lo and behold! The view of the city from up here is amazing! It was hard to find the lift from the massive JR station and then the mall (Stellar Place) where you would need to get to the 6th floor then transfer to another lift that would lead you to the observatory. But once you get up here, it was all worth the effort! I was here on 31 October which was Haloween and the streets were full of kids- but it was so therapeutic here looking at the twinkling lights. I opted for the cake and drink package - as it was also my birthday and was delighted to know they had a special Haloween cake. The lights here were dimmed so you get a real good view of the city drenched in yellow lights. They also had a live classical performance that evening. Awesome!

Kintetsu Rail is nice, but too bad the pass doesn't cover the limited express. You have to spend A LOT of time on the train to reach the value of the pass. Using veltra and getting the e-voucher was convenient for me, but staff at Namba station REALLY struggled to figure out how to scan the QR code...it took about 30 minutes to redeem the pass...
I think this pass would be best if you are staying near Namba station and want to visit several places in Nara and Ise.

As most things in Tokyo and Japan in general, it was on time, clean and quite organised. Pick up point was not hard to find even coming from Ikebukuro. English definitely available as one of the languages on the head set. The stops and collection points were all properly, clearly identified. Really, it is the best way to see Tokyo! nothing beats it.

There were times when it was bustling with tourists, but after a while, they disappeared, and I was able to enjoy tea while quietly taking in the sights of Sapporo. At least during my visit, it was quite calm compared to the lively atmosphere around Sapporo Station. There were also small souvenir shops. I would love to come back.

観光客で賑わう時もあったけど、しばらくすると居なくなり、静かに札幌の街を見ながらお茶できました。
あくまで私が行った時ですが、札幌駅周辺の賑わいに比べたら、静かなものでした。小さな土産物店もありました。また来たいです。

나고야-오사카 노선을 이용하였는데 특급좌석을 지정하면 1900엔을 추가하여야 했다. 예전에는 3장의 좌석예약권을 주었다는데.. 혜택이 줄어서 아쉽지만..이 구간을 이용하는데 이만큼 저렴한 전철패스는 없을것이다.

I made a reservation based on information from the internet.
It's located just a short walk from Harajuku Station, in an easy-to-find place.
There are a total of 9 owls, and you have about 40 minutes of interaction time during the hour.
They vary in size and expression, but all are very gentle, and I enjoyed petting them and having them perch on my arm.
I was healed by their cute appearances, thank you!

ネットの情報を頼りに予約しました。
原宿駅から歩いてすぐ、わかりやすい場所にあります。
フクロウは全部で9羽、一時間のうち、40分くらい触れ合いの時間があります。
大きさも表情も様々ですが、みんなとても大人しく、頭を撫でたり、腕に乗せたりして楽しめました。
かわいい姿に癒されました、ありがとうございました！

A great and amazing experience of viewing the Tokyo of Japan with full horizon.

One can take a break in between stops to explore the Skytree, Tokyo tower, Shinjuk and other areas.

It was a good way seeing Tokyo. Enjoyed the hop on hop off experience in the beautiful city of Tokyo.

We reserved to meet with the owls ahead of time, which made things easier. The staff were very kind and are good with communicating in English. The owls were, of course, my favorite part! I got excited when we held them. Would come back to this particular owl cafe, when I come back to visit Tokyo.

I visited on a rainy day, but the night view was very beautiful. However, since rain adheres to the glass, please try to go on a clear day if possible. I ordered a cake set, and the rich cheese was impressive. The iced cappuccino is very delicious.

雨の日に行きましたが、夜景は非常にきれかったです。
ただし、ガラスに雨が付着するので、出来る限り晴れた日に行ってください。
ケーキセットをオーダーしましたが、濃厚なチーズが印象的でした。
アイスカプチーノは大変美味しいです。

I visited the observation deck of JR Tower on August 13. You can enjoy a 360-degree view of Sapporo's organized cityscape. The night view from the restroom at 160 meters above ground is also fantastic! The ticket I used, which included coffee and cake, was very reasonably priced at 1,000 yen.

8/13にJRタワーの展望台に行きました。札幌の整理された街並みが360度堪能できます。
地上160mのトイレからの夜景も最高ですよ！
利用したチケットは、コーヒー、ケーキ付きのもので1000円と、とてもお得な内容でした。
