Reserved Tickets for 64th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto (Nov. 1~10)
Great experience!
Reviewed by: Deb , 2019/11/08When in Kyoto, tourists walk the streets of Gion, in the hope of spotting Maiko and Geisha. Some will try and take photos inconspicuously of them as they walk by, while others will pay over $200 for a dinner in order to see a Maiko perform 1 dance. This experience which is only available each year for about 10 days in November, will give you everything you need when it comes to seeing true geisha. It’s affordable, you get to see many geisha and maiko and they perform 10 acts during the 1 hour show. You can even take a photo with 2 maiko for a small donation.
There is also a tea ceremony you can be apart of if you turn up at 1pm. It’s a rush job and really confusing because of the language barrier, but basically you sit down, put the pink ticket on the table in front of you and they give you something to eat (little glutenous bun with red bean paste inside) and some matcha tea. You also get to keep the little pink plate the treat is served on. According to the kids (who were trying to be funny), you get to keep the plate because it saves on washing. It was a bit of a production line so we just folded up our treat to go, sipped our tea quickly and left to make room for the next groups of people waiting.
Thanks to Veltra, getting our tickets was super easy and our 7 seats were in the front row. Initially we were worried we might be too close but the seats were great.

第64回 祇園をどり 芸舞妓の舞台鑑賞券（2023/11/1～11/10）＜祇園／京都市＞by アタシェ京
祇園をどり
Reviewed by: 野次馬, 2019/11/07これで、都をどり、鴨川をどり、祇園をどりと全て鑑賞しました。
短時間ですが、次から次へと舞台も踊り手も変わり、面白かったです。
結構早く着替えられるのですね。同じ人が何度も衣装を変えてマジックの様でした。
フィナーレの時、暗闇が突然パットライトが点き、舞子さん芸子さんが勢揃いしているのは感動的でした。着物と帯は目を見張るものですね、きっと高価なものだろうと想像しております。

Summer Beer Garden with Unlimited Drinks and Maiko Dance Performance in Gion
Great experience, great price
Reviewed by: Stephanie, 2019/08/17This 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!
We are so happy to hear that.
Our beer garden dinner is reasonable price compering with other maiko activities.
I am sure everyone will have fun even if you do not understand Japanese.
We are waiting for your next visit!
Best regards

Summer Beer Garden with Unlimited Drinks and Maiko Dance Performance in Gion
A highlight of my trip
Reviewed by: natasha, 2019/08/12great unique experience! I lived in Japan for 4 years and this was something I never got to do.
Maiko spoke good English, which was a huge relief and surprise. Dance was cool, food was good, and the all you can drink alcohol was too much fun.
Thank you for coming the beer garden dinner the other day.
I was worried about meal(spicy beef hot pot dish), because we were not sure if you will like it.
But we are very glad to hear that!
We hold the beer garden dinner every summer season and look forward to seeing you again.

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony
Interesting
Reviewed by: Anait. Great Britain, 2019/05/10Well organised event. Variety of activities which brought us closer to understanding Japanese culture- tea ceremonies, concert which included geisha dancing, playing different musical instruments, theatre and even ikebana arranging.
Zen-buddist dinner was good. Pick up and drop off was organised very well. We felt comfortable and looked after. Recommended.

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony
Lots of information, very enjoyable experience
Reviewed by: Ben, 2019/04/14Very well organised tour, met in hotel by very friendly staff and taken to the Maiko performance. Was a good performance with a good overview of different cultural activities (Tea Ceremony, Plays etc.) but was definitely designed for tourists. Bit of a shame that everyone was taking photos and videos which distracted from the show which is probably our only criticism of the tour.
Then followed by a very good walking tour through Gion learning lots of information about the district, before having a delicious dinner. Highly recommend taking this tour if in Kyoto

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
Crowds and delays
Reviewed by: Maile, 2018/11/27The positives: bus transportation and pre-paid access into shrines and temples. The negatives: It was initially described as a Fall excursion but it was more like a highlights tour. They did not address any of the autumn trees or traditions for that time of year. Because of the Fall season is so popular, all of the places were very crowded, leading to a near race at each site just to get there and back in time for the bus. It also lead to a more than one hour delayed return, which, to be fair, they said might happen, but an update as the day progressed would have been better than announcing it at the tail end of a long day. We had plans to get back to JR station by a certain time so we had to depart the bus early and catch our own cab ride back which cost nearly $40.

Reserved Tickets for 64th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto (Nov. 1~10)
Advanced reservation was totally worth it.
Reviewed by: Abs, 2018/11/12Tickets were waiting for us so we could skip the line. The event it self was totally worth it. We got decent seats, not the best...we booked 2 weeks in advance so I'd recommend booking earlier if you want the good seats.
Tea ceremony was worth it, it's a bit rushed and can't see much if you're not in the first 2 rows, so try to wait by the entrance to be the first ones in. You get a small amount of good matcha, a little sweet thing and you get to keep the saucer the it's served on.
We didn't pay any extra free for booking via Veltra so props to Veltra for this!
10/10 would book through Veltra again.

Reviewed by: Shadow, 2018/11/11This was an amazing experience even without understanding Japanese. The Geiko and Meiko performed dance/acting performance to a set theme and live music is also played. Some of the stage backdrops were very beautiful as well. At the end they threw signed a fabric with all the names of the performers out and we were lucky enough to catch one. I highly recommend going to a performance like this at least once!

Legit Voucher and good seats
Reviewed by: Anna R, 2018/11/07This is legit, I printed voucher from home and presented it in Gion Kaikan 30 mins before tea ceremony and show. Tickets and seats were prepared and got good seats.
Show was okay, would've been better if they talked about the geisha culture prior to show start. Tea ceremony is okay, it's a classroom type arrangement and the geisha/maiko doesn't necessarily serve you.

素晴らしい秋のひととき
Reviewed by: るんるん, 2018/11/07祇園をどりのWEBサイトで売り切れだったこともあり、こちらに申込み。
当日にならないと席は分かりませんが、他の書き込み同様、最前列の真ん中‼️
お茶券つき、パンフレットも申し込みしていたので、全てがスムーズ。
更に、おまけでメモや芸妓さんの千社札までもらえちゃいました。
お茶席では、芸妓さんがお茶をたて、舞妓さんがお控えのパフォーマンス。
会場が狭いので間近に見えます。
まぁ、お客様が大勢いるので、抹茶は水屋からのたてだしですが、泡も細かく大変美味しかったです。
おまんじゅうは、京都を代表する和菓子屋さんのひとつ、千本玉寿件さんです。
美味しいけれど私には甘かった。
お皿は記念に持ち帰ることができます。
ピンクで、裏に祇園をどりの文字が印刷されています。
さぁ、本番の舞台。
最前列だけあり、芸舞妓さんの立ち居振舞いがはっきり見られてよかったです。
皆さんお美しい‼️
さらに最前列でラッキーだったのが、舞妓さんから、芝居の小道具の折り紙をもらったり、フィナーレで手拭いなげで受け止められる確率が高かったり。
最高の思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました‼️

Reserved Tickets for 64th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto (Nov. 1~10)
Lovely Traditional Dance was a Great Experience
Reviewed by: BelaES, 2018/11/06My friend and I attended a performance of Gion Odori at the 1:30pm time on a Sunday. Getting to the theater is easy and there is nearby parking for anyone driving.
Upon arrival the ticket office immediately recognized us as having reservations (maybe it was me fumbling with the confirmation email) and produced our tickets and sent us into the theater almost instantly. The lovely usher sat us and we had the good fortune to get really good seats and they were together. The theater was quite packed so definitely get there on time.
The dance itself was very interesting. The free little flyer we got before entering the theater does give a little explanation on each dance in English, but it was a little sparse so try to do a little research before coming if you really want to understand the stories.
Otherwise, it was a full hour from entering to leaving of gorgeous dancing, costumes, and sets, with the traditional music accompaniment really clinching the feel of authenticity. If you're in town, definitely try to catch this performance!
