Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2025/7/1~2025/9/21)

Lovely location, outstanding service, mesmerizing Maiko dancers

Reviewed by: jewon310

We missed the shuttle bus so taking a taxi was our only option. The Hotel Monterey Kyoto front desk was so kind and willing; she called the cab and informed the taxi driver where to drop us off which saved us a lot of time. The shuttle from the restaurant came out and met us about a mile away as the roads get narrow and difficult to find for drivers unfamiliar with that area. The cab fare came out to be about $35-40 from the Hotel (which was less than what I expected). I highly recommend catching the shuttle service on time (be there early as they will leave exactly on time!)-- not only it's more comfortable having someone drive you to the restaurant, but it will save you time and money.

The restaurant is located in a very secluded and quiet area, completely surrounded by nature. They will greet and walk you to your designated table. The guiding lights in the complete dark woods make the ambience more beautiful. All meals will come out in your eating pace... which is important because I eat pretty slow and sometimes course meals rush you to hurry up and eat. I wasn't sure how to eat fish properly (whether I was supposed to eat the whole entire fish or leave the head or tail), so the older lady came over and removed all the bones for me. Service was fantastic.

There were two Maikos that night-- both Maikos came around, very willing to take pictures and answer questions/ conversate with you. When they start their dancing, I couldn't help but to stare in awe. They look like walking dolls. They also had goodies before the show (i.e a fan, canvas bag, etc). It was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this tour. I want to do this again if I travel back to Kyoto in near future.

  • beautiful location

  • good

  • you will hear the water streaming

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2025/7/1~2025/9/21)

Magical Evening

Reviewed by: Phyllis Viana

From the drive out of Kyoto Center up the cool hills past traditional tiled roofed houses, to our evening end with our gracious hosts smiling behind us as we walked back over the rope footbridge with the twinkling Japanese lanterns lighting the lush green river - A Magical Evening indeed.
Arriving at sunset, you see the beauty of the hot spring resort with our tables overlooking the river and mountain forest. We ordered the snow course (full- larger Kayseki) dinner. Traditional hosts (who speak only a little English) took us to our low tables set with course 1, gift Japanese fans and menu's in English. Sake and beer is additional. We had 2 Maiko's that evening, each separately visited all the tables to take pictures. (they speak Japanese, but can answer a little of English questions) Food was fresh, delicious and so artistically presented course by course. The beautiful dance & musical entertainment was lovely in the intimate setting. Each group had their own tables and the room is not too large. Splurge and treat yourself to this special experience.

  • Maiko visiting our table before show

  • Entering via rope footbridge

  • Traditional tiled houses on the drive up the hills at sunset

  • sushi course

  • summer kimono on the footbridge over the river

  • courses

  • Maiko performing

  • Maiko 2 visiting our table

  • Japanese lanterns light the river after sunset, view from the bridge

I'm glad I was able to have an experience unique to Kyoto easily! お手軽に京都ならではの体験が出来てよかったです!

Reviewed by: イベリ子豚

I was able to enjoy a delicious meal while watching the adorable maiko. They answered many of my questions, and above all, experiencing the coveted ozashiki play at this price is a lifelong memory! I lost at "shurashushu" (?), but having the maiko pour me a drink is something I probably won't experience again (laughs). The senjafuda was beautiful, and I was really happy to take pictures together.

可愛い舞妓さんを見ながら、美味しいお食事が出来ました。
質問にもたくさん答えていただけましたし、何より憧れのお座敷遊びがこのお値段で体験できたことは一生の思い出です!
しゅらしゅしゅしゅ(?)で負けてしまったのですが、舞妓さんにお酌していただいて飲める機会なんて、もうないんじゃないでしょうか(笑)
千社札も綺麗で、お写真も一緒に撮っていただけて、本当に幸せな体験でした。

I would like the staff at Jinmatsu-an to use a microphone for explanations so that everyone can see the maiko up close. 甚松庵の対応。説明はマイクを使って、全員が近くで舞妓をよく見れるようにして欲しい

Reviewed by: MMM

At Jinmatsu-an, you have to pay 500 yen for seats close to the maiko, which felt unfair. I wish all the seats were chairs so that everyone could see the maiko up close. There was dissatisfaction with being seated far from the maiko and not being able to see them closely. It felt a bit profit-driven to have to pay 500 yen for that. I would also like more time for questions. Additionally, I would prefer if a microphone were used for explanations, as it was hard to hear. In short, I hope the company makes more efforts to ensure customer satisfaction.

甚松庵では舞妓に近い席は500円払わないといけないので、
不公平感があった。全ての席を椅子にして、全員が近くで舞妓を見れるようにして欲しい。席が舞妓より遠く、近くで見れない不満が残った。500円払わないといけないところなど、少し儲け主義なような気がした。質問の時間をもっと取ってほしい。また、説明はマイクを使って欲しい。声が聞こえにくかった。つまり、お客さんがもっと満足するよう企業努力してほしい。

I am a repeat visitor. リピーターです

Reviewed by: はまさん

This tour is "twice as enjoyable" not only because of the riverside setting but also because you can meet maiko. Three maiko came to visit us. They went around to each table, allowing us to enjoy friendly conversations. It was amazing to see the dance up close. Last time, we had sukiyaki for our meal, so this time I opted for kaiseki. The summer dishes like hamo sashimi and grilled sweetfish were delightful. Additionally, there was a lottery event (on the 3rd and 5th of the month), which added to the excitement! (Although I didn't win anything... (^^;))

川床だけでなく、舞妓さんにも会えるという「2度おいしい」ツアーです。舞妓さんは3人来てくれました。各テーブルに回ってきてくれるので、気さくにおしゃべりを楽しむことができました。舞もすぐ近くで見ることができて最高でした。前回は食事がすき焼きだったので、今回は懐石にしてみました。鱧おとしや鮎の塩焼きなど、夏らしい料理で良かったです。また、今回はちょうど抽選会(3と5のつく日)があって、ワクワク感を楽しめました!(何も当たりませんでしたが…(^^;))

Fantastic dinner and show

Reviewed by: Amy

My parents took this tour and had a wonderful time. The setting was beautiful and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect with nice warm weather. They really enjoyed the meal of Shabu Shabu and felt the meat was tender and delicious. They really enjoyed meeting the Maiko and admiring her beautiful clothing and make up as well as her dancing. They staff were all very friendly and the included transport back to their hotel was very convenient.

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2025/7/1~2025/9/21)

Definitely a highlight of our trip

Reviewed by: Susan

We were so glad that we decided to purchase this dinner. The restaurant have an amazing view of the river and eating at the kawandoko (terrace on top of the river) is an experience not to be missed. We got the shabu shabu meal and it was perfect since when we went, it was raining and cold, so it was the perfect warming up meal for us.
The maiko came at around 7 and talk to each of the table, take photos and answer a few simple questions. She can't speak well in English, but she can understand if you speak basic English and very slowly. Then she performed 2 dances, they both very elegant and beautiful.
At around 8 pm, the restaurant switch off the lights, so that we can watch fireflies around the riverside. Apparently this is only happens in June. It was truely an amazing and unforgettable experience for both of us.
The pick up and return transfer is pretty efficient too, very happy overall. Definitely would recommend!

A slightly upscale adult trip. ちょっとセレブな大人旅

Reviewed by: ゆうこりん

This tour is especially recommended for adult women! It's guaranteed to boost your femininity. The fresh greenery of Kibune is a place where nobles once sought coolness, crossing mountains to reach this coveted summer retreat. Below the suspension bridge flows a clear stream, accompanied by the sounds of waterfalls and rivers, as well as the calls of the stream frogs. Enjoy delicious mountain and ocean delicacies. Additionally, you'll have the chance to interact with maiko and watch their dances. The experience concludes with firefly viewing, making it a truly precious experience that you can't normally enjoy. The staff were very pleasant, and I felt great throughout. I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

特に、大人の女性におススメ!女子力アップ間違いなしのツアーです。新緑の貴船。そこは、かつて貴族が涼を求め、山を越えて行った憧れの避暑地。吊り橋の下は清流。滝と川のせせらぎ、カジカの鳴き声。美味しい山の幸、海の幸。そして、舞妓さんとの触れ合いと踊りの鑑賞。最後の締めは、蛍鑑賞など、全てのものが普段では味わえないとても貴重な体験。お店の皆様もとても感じが良く、気持ち良かったです。とても楽しめました。本当にありがとうございました。

This trip was very pleasant experience. I was there with my mom and we both enjoyed very much. Food was great. Two people share a hot pot, with one big plate of Japanese beef and one plate of vegetable! The highlight was to watch Maikos dance in a very close distance!

This is a wonderful tour in Kyoto where people of all ages can casually enjoy the performance of a "maiko" at an affordable price! 老若男女、安価で気軽に「舞妓さん」の舞を鑑賞できる、京都らしい素敵ツアーです!

Reviewed by: みやくん

First and foremost, the response from the tour organizer was crucial. It was wonderful! After receiving notice that my desired reservation was not possible, they suggested an alternative experience at a different time. However, that suggested experience was just before the Shinkansen departure. With that in mind, they consulted with me on how to ensure that tourists could enjoy themselves as much as possible and provided the best plan within the constraints. Their response was excellent.

As for the experience, I had to leave partway through, but until then, I thoroughly enjoyed the "Maiko's dance and tea ceremony." It’s a casual and affordable plan that allows you to soak in the Kyoto atmosphere, even if just a little. It became a wonderful memory! I highly recommend it!

If possible, please experience it from the "special seat" (additional fee of ¥200 per person, limited availability). You can see the Maiko's dance from the front row!!

Thank you to everyone involved in the plan, the Maiko, for providing such a wonderful time!

まず情報提供として大切なのが、ツアー主催者の対応でした。素晴らしい!希望の予約が無理であるという連絡を受け、別の時間帯体験をご提案していただきました。しかしそのご提案の体験は新幹線発車ギリギリ。そのような中で出来るだけ観光客に楽しんでもらうには・・・という事を前提として色々とご相談、決められた中での最良プラン提案をしていただきました。素晴らしいご対応でした。
体験ですが、途中中座せざるを得ませんでしたが、それまで「舞妓さんの舞、お点前」はしっかりと堪能でき、京都へ来て京都らしい雰囲気をわずかでも堪能できる気軽&安価なプランです。よい思い出となりました!めちゃくちゃお勧めです
出来れば「特別席(追加料金¥200/人 ※席数に限りあり)」で体験してください。最前列で舞妓さんの舞を見ることができます!!
プラン関係者の方々、舞妓さん、素敵時間を満喫させていただきありがとうございました!

The content met my expectations, which was great. I requested to sit in a special seat for an additional ¥200, but the person in charge was not aware of it, and on the day of the event, my family of four ended up sitting in separate seats. There was only one special seat left, so I purchased it. I wish we could have sat together. It's disappointing.

内容的には期待通りで良かったです。 ¥200を追加すると特別席に座ることができるとのことでVertraにお願いしましたが担当の方が把握しておらず、当日は家族4にんがバラバラの席に座ることに。特別席は一席だけ残っていたので購入しました。出来れば一緒に座りたかったです。残念。

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Incredible Experience!

Reviewed by: Amanda

This tour is an incredible experience! From the beginning you are taken on a bus tour of Kyoto with audio and video in your language about the shrines, temples, and history of Kyoto. You are taken to the beautiful Shozan resort in the mountains where you are are introduced to a traditional Kyoto style feast and watch a beautiful maiko dance in front of your eyes in perfect poise. The package also includes photo with the maiko and a stroll within the shozan garden. This beautiful garden is definitely worth checking out with incredible nature and photo opportunities. You are then taken up the mountain for a breathtaking view of the city of Kyoto at night. Very relaxing and a great way to experience an authentic maiko performance.

Maiko are wonderful. 舞妓さんは素敵

Reviewed by: かな♪

If the seats surround the maiko, everyone can see easily from the front row, but here it was cramped with five people in each of the three rows. Additionally, the front row required an extra 200 yen.
Also, keep in mind that you will be making your own tea based on the maiko's example, and the interaction with the maiko is limited to just two people, so it might feel a bit pricey.

席が舞妓さんを取り囲むようなら皆が最前列で見やすいが、ここは1列5人で3列というぎゅうぎゅう詰だった。さらに最前列は追加200円。
また、お手前は舞妓さんをお手本に自分で点てる、舞妓さんとの遊びは2人だけ、ということを理解して臨みましょう。そう思うとちょっと高いかなぁ。

It was a truly Kyoto-like experience, and I was very satisfied. The price was also reasonable. I highly recommend trying it at least once!

The maiko was cute! 舞妓さん可愛かったです!

Reviewed by: さいとう

On this day, there were about 12 to 15 participants, mainly consisting of international guests and fans of maiko. The maiko was a charming lady named Chikasaya from Miyagawacho, who answered questions politely while making eye contact with each participant.

During the matcha preparation experience, Chikasaya first whisked the matcha, and then a staff member explained it to the participants. There was no stiff atmosphere typical of tea ceremonies; everyone was cheerfully whisking matcha, saying things like "the foam isn't forming!"

There was also a tea house play experience, where two volunteers participated in a game called Konpira Funefune with Chikasaya. The maiko was great at creating a lively atmosphere, making it enjoyable no matter what (laughs).

It was a one-hour experience, and thanks to the engaging Chikasaya, it turned out to be a very fun time. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance to visit Kyoto!

この日の参加者は12~15人ほどで、海外の方や舞妓ファンの方が中心でした。
舞妓さんは宮川町から千賀明(ちかさや)さんという可愛らしい方で、お話をされるときは参加者ひとりひとりと目を合わせながら丁寧にお答えされてました。

お手前体験では、まず千賀明さんが抹茶をたて、それを係りの人が参加者に説明するかんじ。茶道特有の堅苦しい雰囲気は一切なく、みなさん泡がたたない~と言いながらワイワイ抹茶をたててました。

お茶屋あそびの体験もあり、これは希望者(2名ほど)が前で千賀明さんと金比羅ふねふねというお茶屋遊びをされました。舞妓さんが盛り上げ上手なので、どうやっても楽しくなりました(笑)

1時間の体験でしたが、盛り上げ上手な千賀明さんのおかげでとても楽しい時間になりました。ぜひまた京都へ行くことがあれば参加したいです!

We reserved with veltra for the Geisha dance show "Gion Odori". The booking was very simple, and the price was the same as if we booked directly. We were surprise because we really had a great place, from where we had a perfect view on the Geishas.

The show was amazing, we couldn't have come in Japan and not see a Geisha dance show. It was even better than we expected and if we come back, we won't hesitate to book one more time with veltra.

You bought tickets for Gion Odori in November. The exchange of the voucher was very easy and hassle free. The seats allocated were not the best however, in the balcony.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

An amazing and memorable show

Reviewed by: Chris K.

An amazing and memorable show. Extremely well worth the time and money if you're in Kyoto at the time, or even altering your trip time to include it if it's not too much of a hassle. If you've seen any of the other seasonal dances it's still worth seeing because of the differences in theatricality, dance and performance style. Excellent.

As for the Tea Ceremony plan, go in with tempered expectations. Chances are you won't be able to see the maiko making/serving the tea and, even if you can, it's even less likely you'll be the one being served. But that's fine as you still get a very nice snack, tea, commemorative plate and kerchief for a very low price. Consider actually seeing the maiko as a bonus and not the main course.

Also, picking up the Program option is well worth it. You can get it at the show as well but it's the same price as just buying online and when you buy online you'll get it right at the door with no extra fuss or muss.

[SOLD OUT]Reserved Tickets for 65th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto

Easy check-in; great experience

Reviewed by: Catherine

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.
