Reserved Tickets for 64th Gion Odori Maiko and Geisha Dance in Kyoto (Nov. 1~10)

Amazing evening

Reviewed by: Adrian, 2018/11/06

Absolutely loved the evening. Great venue & amazing food. The Maiko & Geiko were delightful - loved watching them perform and was overjoyed at opportunity to talk to them and be able to ask questions. Had seen the Gion Adori (annual dance of Geisha) the day before and loved it but being even closer to them & experiencing the geisha hospitality was amazing.

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」を最前列で鑑賞

Reviewed by: 紅葉, 2018/11/06

普通に申し込んだら端の席になってしまうところですが、お陰様で、祇園会館の最前列で「祇園をどり」を鑑賞することができました。
舞台上の芸妓さんや舞妓さんと目が合ってしまうほどの距離感で、ドギマギしてしまうほどです。芸舞妓さんのをどりは、華麗で美しく、楽しい時間を過ごせました。メモ帳と千社札までいただき、感激しております。ありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: 舞妓ファン, 2018/11/05

幻想的な舞台に感動しました!日本舞踊でここまで魅力を感じたのは初めてです。衣装も妖精のよう。日本人女性のしっとりとした身のこなし、決めポーズ、最高に美しいと思いました。舞台との距離感も良かったです。沢山の外国の方たちの目にはどう写ったのか?日本の美意識は世界に誇れると思いました。

Classic Kyoto Half Day Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Well worth doing the trip.

Reviewed by: Michael, 2018/06/10

Beautiful Temples and wonderful gardens and scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of people!
The English translation device, which is available on the bus, only worked for the journey to the Kinkakuji Temple. After that there was no English explanation of where we we going or what we were seeing. Pity!

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony

Una experiencia hermosa!

Reviewed by: Gisela, 2018/03/22

Hay que ser puntual porque arranca en un teatro, el conjunto de obras muestran costumbres típicas: arreglos florales, ceremonia del té, música y cierra con danzas típicas hechas por maikos: aspirantes a geishas.
Es muy interesante!
La cena deliciosa y la verdad que muy abundante también, muy amables todos.
La ceremonia del té privada es reducido en pasos pero muy interesante también, es una costumbre que está en vías de extensión lamentablemente.
Todos son muy coordiales y muy serviciales la verdad que la pasamos muy bien

Great

Reviewed by: Eyhidiaze, 2017/12/02

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.

Impressive performance

Reviewed by: Laima, 2017/12/02

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. I guess i is done randomly, so we had no good luck :)But for a decent price we do not complain. Performance was very good, 6 Geiko and Maiko dances with grand finale when there were around 15 dancers on the stage. Highly recommended!

Very Special Experience

Reviewed by: Jon from Canada, 2017/12/02

My girlfriend and I very much enjoyed this Geisha dance and it was one of our highlights in Kyoto. The process of buying the tickets through Veltra was easy as we only had to print off our ticket receipt and show this at the door. By booking our tickets a few days in advance we ended up with great seats near the front of the theatre.

An amazing and memorable show

Reviewed by: Chris K., 2017/11/27

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.

開演前に長蛇の列を並んで、せわしなく、お茶とお菓子が振舞われ、なんか昼の食堂みたいで、とっても美味しいお饅頭だったのに、もっとゆっくり味わいながら頂きたかったなー。前の舞妓さんや芸妓さんもニコリともせず、蝋人形みたいだったし。でも、座席はとてもいい場所で比較的ゆっくり見れました。演技は本当にあっという間に終わった感じでした。都踊りと比べると少し地味かな。

For some reason they do not allow photos. This is 2017, every smart phone has a camera and especially coming from a foreign country you want to capture the experience. Next time just watch online the dozens of postings.

Easy check-in; great experience

Reviewed by: Catherine, 2017/11/12

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.

Gion Odori Fall performance

Reviewed by: Ramon, 2017/11/12

The show was very nice with magnificent colors. The location of our seats (view of the scene) was very good but the quality of the seat was poor, we were on add-on type hard seats instead of the normal softer seats. The show lasts one hour and tends to be boring with the same music and voice all along. In any case, a must-see show to get acquainted with Japanese culture.

100% worth it, definitely one of those rare Japanese experiences you gotta do in Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Princeton, 2017/11/10

If you're fortunate enough to be in Kyoto for this, I recommend you absolutely do it!

A few things to note:
-Booking online through Veltra guarantees you a seat; we were originally going to wait for tickets at the theatre itself, but they had long lines on the day of and it was SUPER cramped.
-We arrived an hour early to check in; just showed a print out of the Veltra voucher and got some souvenir stickers, and the lady at check-in said "Your seats are not very nice, so please accept this as an apology" -she gave us a free souvenir cloth - the same ones the Geiko & Maiko throw at the crowd during the show!
-We opted for the Tea Ceremony - After getting into a bit of a tight line on the upper level for 20 minutes, we got a piece of mochi and a bowl of green tea - just enough for a few sips, nothing too crazy/big. The room it is held in is quite small; it felt like a classroom with desks very close to each other. You are squeezed into a spot as soon as the previous people have vacated their seats; No photos but there is a Maiko and a Geiko at the front of the room looking quite solemn/stern so you might be lucky to be seated directly in front of them while you're enjoying your snack but you're equally likely to be put in the far corner. Again, a tight squeeze.
-The seats were really not that bad, we were on the highest level and it seems like other Veltra buyers were too (other Westerners). The view for us was great but it seems you don't have a choice in selection.
-It's not in the same spot as Gion Corner; the theatre for this is actually across the street from the Yasaka Shrine.
-Everything's in Japanese, heads up - even the program you receive. Again, we're a couple of fairly smaller people under 5'8" and it was a bit cramped - so take note if you're on the larger side. We noticed a heftier American couple with mobility issues having a slightly tougher time... but they also talked through the entire show. Avoid coming with bags!

  • The first act of the show!
