"Memoirs of a Geisha" dream come true
Reviewed by: Couple from Canada, 2019/03/17Absolutely loved the experience of meeting Maiko. I finally fulfilled my "Memoirs of a Geisha" dream Haha The name of our Maiko was Fukuya, and she was beautiful, answered all our questions, was very nice and I loved playing the game with her!
The only reason my review is 4 stars and not 5 is only because of a bit of a mix up with our food. The husband really doesn't like fish, so we had made sure ahead of time that he wouldn't be getting any seafood, but pretty much his entire meal contained fish, all but for a little steak. So, I ended up eating 1.5 meals (I hate wasting food) hahaha But, other than the hubby having very little food, the food was really great! So delicious!
I would definitely recommend a meet up with a Maiko if you get that chance. We didn't see 1 Maiko or Geisha walking around, so if seeing one of these beautiful ladies is on your bucket list, book a visit! We absolutely loved it, it was a big trip highlight.

Really Nice Experience
Reviewed by: KCM Callahan, 2018/02/13My husband and I really enjoyed our time. Mika, our host, was delightful and a wonderful translator for the Maiko who joined us that night, Fukune. Together they graciously answered all of our questions and made it a very enjoyable experience. When we booked this, we didn't realize we would be in a private room, but that ended up being nice as we had space to have conversations that we may not have otherwise had if we were in a larger group. The kaiseki meal was good though we'd had more interesting kaiseki dishes at another restaurant the day before. It was also a little hard to enjoy the intricate meal when we were in conversation the entire night (the downside to the private room).

Our first Maiko interaction experience
Reviewed by: Lili , 2017/12/21This package had it all; meet a real maiko in person, enjoyed the traditional Maiko dance, have a conversation and played games with one, and even took pictures with one! It was a superb and welcoming experience! Really enjoyed the food and entertainment. Would most definitely recommend my friends if they want to have similar experience! Would suggest the restaurant to have a vegetarian menu for my vegan friends.

Interesting and entertaining show
Reviewed by: Marcy, 2017/10/26Great to get quality time with the Maiko and the drinking games were really fun. Food was good. Service for drink refills was a little slow. The translators were great to have and super helpful in helping us catch a cab. Overall a great experience and I definitely recommend!!

Reviewed by: Monique , 2017/10/14An amazing experience having dinner with the Maiko while she performed and came around to speak to everyone as we asked her questions, followed by games. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting kyoto.

Quintessential Kyoto
Reviewed by: Adam , 2017/10/07My girlfriend and myself recently travelled to Japan from Melbourne, Australia. Prior to coming to Kyoto, we had already toured Tokyo, Hiroshima and Osaka, with a few interesting day trips along the way.
Compared to other major cities in Japan, we have found Kyoto to be a lot more traditional to old Japanese culture. The geisha or geiko as they’re known in Kyoto, are hugely iconic to us when we think of Japanese culture, and especially Kyoto culture. So meeting one was a must!
We had a great experience being entertained by a maiko (a geiko in training). There was traditional Japanese dancing, new and really funny drinking games and fascinating conversation about her beauty routine, social life and aspirations. It was a rare privilege to meet her. She was very polite, held herself well, and will make a great geiko one day.
The food was interesting, traditional Kyoto cuisine, and the sake (or any drink for that matter) was bottomless, much to my pleasure. I had cold sake and my girlfriend had warm sake.
All in all, we are glad to have this organised this experience and would recommend it. You do not want to travel to Kyoto and not see a “geisha” in the flesh.
Thank you for joining our tour and submitting a valuable review about it.
We have read your review and once again we appreciate your feedback.
Now we would like to ask you one question for our future improvement.
You gave us a 4 star rating, what would you say was missing for us to score 5 stars from you?
We would love to hear your honest opinion so that we may further improve our event.
Thank you so much,
