I wanted to experience a summer-like Kyoto, and while searching online, I found this site. It takes about 30 minutes from downtown Kyoto, but there is a bus service, making it easy to access a location that is quite difficult to reach on your own due to the poor mountain roads. Additionally, I enjoyed the meals right by the river, conversations with the geisha, and their dances, which exceeded my expectations and allowed me to truly savor a summer-like Kyoto.
夏らしい京都を感じたくネットで調べていたら、このサイトを見つけました。
京都市街地から約30分位かかりますがバス送迎あり、単独では行きづらいくらい山手の道も良くない場所なので楽でした。
また、川を目の前にした料理、舞妓さんとの会話、舞妓さんの踊りと予想以上に楽しめて本当に夏らしい京都を満喫して出来ました。

The pace was a bit fast, so I didn't have time to fix my mistakes, but I enjoyed the gentle guidance! My creation turned out a bit different from the sample, but I think it has its own charm. I also got to make seasonal wagashi, which were very cute! There were various tools available, and I appreciated the detailed instructions. We took photos, and being able to eat what we made created wonderful memories.
ちょっと進むスピードが早かったので失敗を直す時間がなかったですけど優しく指導して頂いて楽しかったです!歪なかたちになって見本とは少し違う感じになりました笑でもそれはそれで味があるとおもいます
和菓子も季節を意識された和菓子を作らせてもらいました!
とても可愛いかったです!
いろんな道具もあって細かく教えていただけて良かったです。
写真もとって、その場で食べられてとてもいい思い出になりました。

I invited my sister to participate because I wanted my 5-year-old child to experience it. The explanations were gentle and thorough, making it enjoyable. My child wasn't fond of wagashi, so the two of us made one serving (two pieces), but I was surprised that my son ate both pieces. I had a little as well, and it was very delicious. The matcha we ordered additionally was elegant and extremely tasty. I recommend this to anyone considering participating. Next time, I plan to invite my husband and mother as well.
5歳の子供に体験させたく、妹を誘い参加して来ました。
優しく丁寧な説明で、楽しく出来ました。
子供は和菓子が苦手だったので、私と2人で1人分(2個)作りましたが息子が2個ともほとんど食べてしまい驚きでした。
私も少し頂きましたが、とても美味しかったです。
追加で頼んだ、立たてのお抹茶も上品で大変美味しかったです。
参加される方に、お勧めします。
今度は、夫や母も誘って行こうと思います。

It was great to have a 30-minute experience without needing to bring anything. There was one instructor and two assistants. The participants were all women in their teens to twenties. If you want to take home what you made, there’s an additional 100 yen for a take-home bag, and for those who want to eat on-site, you can get matcha for 500 yen if you wish. I recommend this for those who want a short experience, but if you have more time, I think the course where you can see the artisans at work would be more satisfying.
開始から終了まで30分、手ぶらで体験できたのはとても良かったです。
教えてくださるのはインストラクター1名と補助で2名。参加者は10-20代の女性ばかりでした。
作ったものを持ち帰る場合は別途持ち帰り袋が100円、その場で食べる人は希望すれば500円でお抹茶がつけれるようです。
短時間で体験したい方にはおすすめですが、時間のある方は職人さんの手作業が見れるコースの方が満足度が高いかなと思いました。
Thank you for participating. We offer programs that allow even first-timers to experience with ease. The concept is centered around customer experiences, and while we currently do not have a program for observing artisans at work, those with time can combine their experience with a tea ceremony demonstration. We are also considering programs that will allow for more specialized learning in the future, so we look forward to your participation again when the opportunity arises.
この度はご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。初めての皆様にも気軽に体験いただけるようなプログラムを提供させていただいております。お客様に体験頂くという点がコンセプトでございまして、職人さんの手業見学という内容は現在ございませんが、お時間ある方はお点前と組み合わせた体験も可能です。またこれから、より専門的な内容を学べるようなプログラムも検討しておりますので、また機会がございましたらご参加をお待ちしております。

The location is inside a building, but we couldn't enter until five minutes before the start, and there are few convenience stores or cafes nearby, so we waited on the sidewalk until the time. Fortunately, the weather was nice, so we managed to wait outside, but I wish we had been informed in advance via the website or email that we couldn't enter until five minutes before and that there were few waiting areas nearby.
Once inside, there were two examples of nerikiri placed on the table, and we made them while listening to the staff's explanations. The instructions were thorough, and we were able to enjoy the process of making them.
Finally, we had a tasting and that concluded the session. Thank you very much.
場所がビルの中ですが開始5分前まで中に入れず、近くにコンビニやカフェも少ないため、時間まで歩道で待ちました。幸い天気が良かったのでなんとか外で待機できましたが、5分前まで入れない&近くに待機場所が少ない旨、ホームページやメールで事前に案内いただけたらと思いました。
中に入ると、テーブルに練り切り2個の手本が置いてあり、スタッフの方の説明を聞きながら見本と同じように作りました。説明は丁寧で楽しく作ることができました。

At the very beginning of my trip to Kyoto, I had the opportunity to experience making sweets. I was taught carefully, step by step, and I was able to create wagashi that I was satisfied with. Even with the same instructions, the shapes turned out completely different depending on the person making them, which adds a personal touch. I think it would be fun to compare our creations with friends after finishing. Additionally, the anko used was very delicious. Enjoying the sweets I made while having a hanami was the best, and it became a wonderful memory of my trip! I would love to participate again!
京都旅行の一番最初にお菓子造り体験をさせていただきました。いちから一つ一つ丁寧に教えていただき、自分の納得のいく和菓子が作れました。同じ説明を受けても、作る人によって全く違う形になって個性がでるため、作り終わったあとに友人と見比べてみても面白いと思います。また、使用しているあんこも大変美味しかったです。自分で作ったお菓子を食べながらのお花見は最高で、旅行のいい思い出になりました!また参加したいと思いました!
Thank you for coming. It seems you enjoyed the cherry blossom viewing along with the wagashi you made here! This month, you created sakura and dandelion, but we change the shapes according to the seasons, so we look forward to your participation again.
お越しいただきありがとうございました。こちらで作っていただいた和菓子と共にお花見を楽しまれたのですね!今月は桜とタンポポを作成いただきましたが、季節によって形を変えておりますので、また是非、ご参加をお待ちしております。

- Making two pieces of nerikiri
Since it was a special trip, I wanted to enjoy my meals separately. There were plans from other companies that allowed for making three or four pieces, but I thought I wouldn't be able to eat that much, and I wouldn't eat them if I brought them back to the hotel, so I chose this plan. In the end, it was just enough.
- Satisfied despite the short time
I thought 30 minutes was short, but it turned out to be quite sufficient, moving along efficiently and calmly. It might be tough for children or the elderly, so those individuals should choose a plan with more support for a reasonable price. On the other hand, I recommend this for active adults who don’t need such support.
Points of concern
I was encouraged to use hand sanitizer before starting the work, but I would appreciate it if they could also provide guidance on washing hands.
・2点の練り切り制作
せっかくの旅行なので、食事は別で楽しみたい。3,4点の制作ができるプランも他社のものであったが、そんなに食べきれないし、ホテルに持ち帰っても食べないと思ったのでこちらのプランを選択。結果、十分でした。
・短時間だけど満足
30分って短くない?と思ったが、案外そんなことなく、淡々効率的にと進む。子供や高齢者などはしんどいかもしれないので、そういった方はそれなりの価格のサポートの手厚い時間を書けたプランを選択すべき。反対に、そのようなサポート不要な現役世代の方にはおすすめ。
気になった点
作業前に手のアルコール消毒は促されたが、できれば手荒いも案内してくれると嬉しい。
Dear Mikan,
Thank you very much for visiting Jinmatsu-an. We are truly honored to hear that you were satisfied with the two pieces you created.

She said, "I want to try making wagashi!" in the Kyushu dialect, so I came here! (I also wanted to do it again after a long time.)
Last time, I had an experience at a certain wagashi shop, so I had some prior knowledge for this time.
In a word, the plan was well-organized, and it was a very easy and enjoyable experience! The instructor was very friendly and taught us carefully while joking around.
It seems that the nerikiri we make changes each time, and we made cherry blossoms and dandelions! Wow, it was difficult.
As a note, the system is quite organized, and it seems that reservations are packed one after another, so you need to work efficiently; it can get a bit busy. Also, since they use an entire floor of the building, there isn't much ambiance to enjoy. Additionally, if you want to take your creations home, there is an extra charge for the box.
It took about 15-20 minutes to walk slowly from Kyoto Station, so the access was perfect. It was a wonderful shop! Thank you very much!
彼女が『私、和菓子作ってみたいっちゃー』って九州弁で言うので…(笑)こちらにお邪魔しました!(僕も久しぶりにやりたかったし( ´,_ゝ`))
前回は某和菓子屋さんで体験したので、前知識あっての今回です
一言でいうと、プランがすっきりまとまってて、とても手軽に楽しい体験でした!!
講師の方はとても気さくで、ボケも挟みながら挟まれながら、丁寧に教えてくださいました
回ごとに作る練りきりは異なるようで、僕たちは桜とタンポポを作りました!
いやー、難しかった
注意としては、かなりシステム化されてて予約が次々と詰まってるようなので、てきぱき作業する必要あり、ちょっと忙しいです。
あとは、ビルのワンフロアをまるごと使ってるので、風情など感じられるところはありません。
また、持ち帰りする場合は、箱代の別途料金が必要。
京都駅からゆっくり歩いて15-20分ほどだった印象なので、アクセスばっちり、とても素晴らしいお店でした☀️
ありがとうございました!!

I had my children (a grade schooler and a 3-year-old) experience making nerikiri. In 30 minutes, we made two pieces: a cherry blossom and a dandelion. The tools we used were a bit different from those in a traditional wagashi shop, using everyday items like rubber spatulas. The kids were delighted, saying it felt like playing with clay as they colored the white bean paste. The gloves were a bit too big for the children, making it a little difficult and rushed, but the staff helped and guided us. In the end, we ate what we made right there. My daughter, who had wanted to make nerikiri in Kyoto, kept saying how satisfied she was! However, it might not be enough for those looking for a more authentic experience.
練りきり体験を子供たち(小学生と3歳)にさせました。
30分で桜とたんぽぽの二個作りました
使う道具は、本格的な和菓子屋さんとは少し違いゴムベラなど身近にあるものです。
白あんに色づけしたり、子供たちは粘土みたいと喜んで作っていました。子供には手袋が大きくて使いにくく時間も短く少しバタバタしますが、スタッフの方も手伝ってくれて教えてくれました。
最後は出来上がったのを、その場で食べました。
京都で練りきりを作りたいと言っていた娘は大満足!と何度も言ってました。
でも本格派には物足りないかもしれません。

It was a scorching day with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees, but here, a cool and pleasant breeze was blowing. I made a reservation for noon and arrived around 11:30, but my seat was already prepared, so I didn't have to wait. The food was delicious, and I was able to spend a relaxing time in nature. After resting at my seat for a while, I took a stroll nearby, and it was just the right time to head back for the bus (everyone gathered, so we departed early). I thought the riverbed would be along the Kamo River, but considering the coolness and the sense of relaxation, I'm glad I signed up for this tour.
気温が35度を超す猛暑日でしたが、こちらは涼しく気持ちいい風が吹いていました。12時の予約で送迎を申し込み11時半くらいに到着しましたが席は用意されていたので待たされることは無かったです。お食事もおいしく、自然の中でゆったりとした時間を過ごすことができました。しばらく席で休んだ後近くを散歩してちょうどよい感じで帰りのバス時間となりました(みんな揃ったので早めの出発でした)。川床は鴨川沿い、と思っていたのですが涼しさと癒やされ感を考えたらこちらのツアーを申し込んでよかったと思います。

This was a great activity. The food and beer was delicious and filling and the entertainment was fantastic. We were able to talk with our Maiko for a few minutes and take a picture with her after her performance. We did not speak very much Japanese (only the very basics), but that did not diminish our experience. We had a great time, and it was nice we didn't have to spend a ton of money on one dinner like some other activities that are available with maiko. I would definitely recommend this if you'd like to meet a maiko and see her perform.
Thank you for coming the beer garden dinner the other day and also thank you for give us such a beautiful review!

On the day of the event, it was unfortunately rainy and felt a bit cool, but I was able to escape reality for a moment while enjoying a delicious meal (I chose sukiyaki) at a riverside location with an outstanding view, accompanied by the dance and stories of the maiko. (Laughs) Of course, photography was also perfectly allowed!
I heard that out of the five riverside venues, four were open for guests, and we had four maiko come to us: Umetae and Fumikou from Kamishichiken, and Kikuyae and Kanesue from Miyagawa-cho. (Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I couldn't meet Fumikou... so sad.)
Above all, I was really pleased with the attentiveness and care of the staff. I highly recommend this place! Ladies! (Laughs)

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.

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.

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…(^^;))

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!

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! I can see her holding her pose and dancing slow but gracefully. It is breathtaking! I would say this is the best trip you can do to get the completely Kyoto experience! Love it!!

My wife and I greatly enjoyed this tour. Jennifer-san, our guide, did a great job in explaining the Maiko and Geiko (Kyoto preferred name for Geisha) culture while we walked through three of the five Hanamachi (Geiko districts). She showed us tea houses and homes, talked about schooling and careers. She also showed us some of the supporting professional such as teachers, dressers, and hair stylists. We even caught a few glimpses of Maiko headed to work.
As we strolled in the early evening we admired the Cherry trees in blossom and watched the night settle in. Then after a short walk along the river, we had an excellent meal at a small restaurant. Sushi, pickled vegetables, tempura, soup, wagyu beef, pork, sake, and of course - rice.
It was a great experience. Come prepared to walk a bit and to enjoy a variety of Japanese foods.
We are extremely happy that you and your wife did enjoy the tour!
We hope to see you again soon on your next visit to Japan!
Thank you very much! :)

It was a very beautiful annex, and I was able to enjoy delicious sukiyaki! The maiko were lovely, and it was a precious experience to see them dance up close. I was significantly late for my reservation, but they were very polite and accommodating. I would definitely like to use this place again if I have the opportunity. Thank you!
とても綺麗な別館で、美味しいすき焼きをいただくことができました!舞妓さんも可愛らしく、近くで踊りを見ることができて貴重な体験でした。予約の時間に大幅に遅れてしまったのですがとても丁寧にご対応いただきました。また機会があれば是非利用したいです。ありがとうございました!

I booked this for 2 people even though I was going alone, because it was the only way the website would accept the reservation. The day of the tour I had my hotel contact them to update my hotel pick up info, which also updated the number of guest. I was pleasantly surprised that they refunded the second ticket. The food and location were amazing, as was the meetings with the maiko and watching them dance. I wish there was a translator during your meeting with them. Since there wasn't, I only spent about 3-5 mins with each maiko whereas the tables of Japanese guests spent as much as 15 minutes with each of them. Otherwise, it was amazing.
