All Reviews for Tickets

The opportunity to see the Gion Odori was such a lovely and unique pleasure. The dance was beautiful, and the costumes and sets were spectacular. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see into the traditional and exquisite world of Geiko and Maiko.

Bus drivers very helpful, staff generally very kind and helpful. The two routes we took encompassed quite a great deal of the city. We preferred the route that took in the Rainbow bridge. We had a job finding the office to collect our ticket after getting our online voucher, but a kindly bus driver took us to the office and dropped us off. Once there we were able to get our tickets and were off. The bus is hop on hop off but limited in time, so we were only able to do the two routes in one day as there was a gap over lunch time, which is why we found a little restaurant near the office to while away the time until the afternoon bus. They are not as frequent as we have found in other cities, but on the whole worthwhile for the money.

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!

I had only been there once during high school, so I went in almost as a first-timer. I was worried about whether I would understand, but thanks to the explanation provided by the modernized stage arrangement before it started, I was able to enjoy it very much. I want to go again!

高校生の頃に行ったことがあるだけだったので、ほぼ初めての状態で行きました。
理解ができるか不安でしたが、始まる前に、現代的にアレンジした舞台による解説のおかげでとても楽しむことができました。また行きたいと思います！

The show was perfect, but my seat had a partial view of it! I was disappointed because I paid the same amount as other people but couldn't enjoy 100% of the show.

This is the meaning of it all, this is what the Geiko & Maiko are trained for. And this might be one of the very few opportunities that a tourist can see a Geiko perform. Not to be missed if you are in Kyoto during this period.

It was a really good experience, definitely worth doing. We had really good seats right at the front, and thoroughly enjoyed each performance. One of the highlights whilst staying in Kyoto.

Beautiful show of gheishas dancing singing and displaying beautiful kimonos and other costumes

We went to the tea ceremony and geisha performance in Kyoto and thought both weee wonderful. The geisha doing the tea was stunningly graceful- beautiful to watch. Re the performance, the Kabuki in Tokyo had finished the October sessions and the place in Kyoto was still not open after renovations but this performance was fabulous alternative. Beautiful costumes, live musicians, well designed sets etc made for a dramatic performance- not just beautiful girls moving around to recorded music.

Everything was perfect. The tickets were reserved by the time we checked in and the place of the seats were very good (third row quite near to the stage).

It was very beautiful and interesting show. As foriegner I didn't understand anything from songs, but I want to mention orchestra, very beautiful melodies. I enjoyed the show. Thank you!

As my heading states the show was great and the seats were perfect, we were sitting on the wing with a perfect eye level view of the stage.

We were very happy with the show and even more pleased we had the opportunity to be a part of the annual dance performance. The final act was beautifully done with Maikos and Geishas. The tea ceremony was quite rushed and did not resemble a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Overall a real authentic cultural experience, without any pictures as they were not allowed.

The bus ride is fine for a speedy trip through parts of Tokyo. We had good weather, but I would not do this in the rain. The guide was a bit out of sync at some points and cut the commentary short when you went past locations at higher speeds. It was a good intro to Tokyo, but I am not sure I would recommend it for the price.

Unfortunately, rain was pouring down this day. We got all wet on the bus. Can only visit Asakusa Temple. Not a memorable day to speak off.

There were some people lined up at the entrance but we were able to check in without waiting since we'd made an advance reservation through veltra! The cafe was relatively small but very cozy and they had tatami seats that you could enjoy your drink. It took me a while to get comfortable enough to pet them, but when I did, I found out they’re really soft and ADORABLE. The attentive staff would place the owl on your shoulder or head if you like! This owl cafe guarantees you a truly amazing experience. Don't forget your camera!

On the weekend I went with friends to an owl cafe for the first time in Harajuku. The staff were very nice and tried hard to speak English with us.
The owls were really cute. You can touch them and even let them perch on your arm. One owl named Haku perched on my hat and refused to move! haha If I have the chance, I'd like to go again!

這次去原宿的貓頭鷹咖啡真是太高興了，貓頭鷹都好可愛。可以摸它們，還可以放在手上，真是意猶未盡！下次來日本時一定還要再來！

This was my first time went to an owl cafe in Japan, the shop was a bit small but very very cozy. We spent nearly one hour with those cute owls, most of them were very social and let us touch them, we even put them on our hand or shoulder. This was a very good experience, and we highly recommend it to everyone.

It's my second time to go to an owl cafe.
The cafe is pretty near the JR harajyuku station. It is small but lovely.
And the staffs are friendly, too. They can also speak a little English and they provide English instructions to read, so there's no need to worry!
Off course the owls are so lovely! We all had a great time with these cute owls.
And I would love to take my other friends to visit them again!

Enjoyed our time on the hop on, hop off bus. The first loop we did was Asakusa course and got off and on the busses at different stops. We were able to see some major sights and the time in between the bus returns was reasonable with about an hour time frame. We then did the Odaiba Course and only got off at a one stop since the time frame was over an hour for the next bus and it was getting late. We enjoyed having the transportation around Tokyo since it was our first time there and it helped us determine what sites we would like to return to the next few days using the subways. I would highly recommend this tour for first time guests in Tokyo.

Hop on Hop off is the best way to Tour Tokyo when on a limited time. It gives you enough information of the sites as you go around the city. They also have 3 selections for Tour routes which you can access. Also allows you to go around without having to use the subways.

It was my first experience with kyogen. Just seeing the Noh theater is worth it, and Enban Rider's pre-performance explanation was great. I enjoyed the kyogen itself thanks to the explanations.

There is a bit of an insider feel to it. It's like I stumbled into a cultural festival from another school...

Overall, I think it offers value that exceeds the price.

初の狂言でした。
能楽堂を見るだけでも価値はありますし、
円盤ライダーさんの狂言前説も良かったです。
狂言自体も説明のおかげで楽しめました。

やや内輪感があります。
なんというか他校の文化祭に紛れ込んだような。。。

基本的にはお値段以上の価値はあるかと。

Since there is no time restriction, it is helpful during travel. The cake set is included, so I was satisfied to enjoy some tea as well.

時間の指定がないので、旅行の際には助かります。　ケーキセットもついているのでお茶もでき満足しでした。

we enjoyed our sightseeing, cllimate was just right as we cross the rainbow bridge. we discovered so many things about Japan's diff locations, very informative and helpful to in selecting places we want to explore on our limited time in Tokyo. we were glad that we book hop on hop off.

I was able to leisurely take in the view of Sapporo city. Since it's on the 38th floor, the height isn't too extreme, but the access from the station building and restaurant floor makes it easy to enjoy the night view after dinner. As a woman, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the men's restroom (laughs), but my husband was impressed by the openness.

札幌市内をまったり一望できました。38階なのでそれ程高度はありませんが、駅ビル内・レストラン階からのアクセスなので夕食後にちょっと夜景でも、と気軽に楽しめます。
当方女性なので男子トイレを見れなかったのが残念ですが(笑)開放感に旦那は感動してました。

I was recommended through a VELTRA banner, and I became interested, so I decided to give it a try. Since kyogen is something quite distant for me, I was very nervous, but it turned out to be very casual. There were many fun performances suitable for beginners, and it included a drink, making for a very enjoyable experience.

VELTRAのバナーでレコメンドされ、興味が湧いて言ってみることにしました。
狂言といえばなかなか縁遠いものなのでとても緊張しましたがとてもカジュアル。初心者向けの楽しい演出が多く、ワンドリンクもついていてとても楽しい体験ができました、

When coming in to any new place to visit, we look for bus tours such as this. The tour was informative and gave us an idea of places we would want to return to and explore fully. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was worried about using a service such as Veltra but I had no problems whatsoever. We plan on doing the bus tour again when friends visit and using Veltra. Highly recommend!

After enjoying a relaxed time in the lounge, the kyogen performance was fun. It was my first time seeing the play "The Owl," and I was laughing throughout. I brought a friend who was also seeing it for the first time; at first, they were a bit nervous, but they were surprised by the atmosphere of the lounge and ultimately relaxed and enjoyed it. The photo time was also interesting and nice. After the performance, Mr. Okura was friendly and wonderful as he took pictures with fans.

ラウンジでゆるーく楽しんだ後の狂言、楽しかったです。今回の演目の梟ははじめてでしたが、随所、笑わせていただきました。
はじめてという友人を連れて行ったのですが、最初はおっかなびっくりでしたがラウンジの雰囲気を見て驚いてましたが最終的にはリラックスして楽しんでくれていました。写真タイムがあるのも面白くていいですね。舞台が終わった後に、ファンの方と写真を一緒に撮られている大藏さんも気さくな感じで素敵でした。

It was good and on time. Although it rained in the morning when we rode the open air bus.
