Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Extraordinary experience

Reviewed by: Enchanted

Once in a lifetime experience in old Gion, Kyoto. The simple setting was perfect. The Maiko prepared tea for us, danced, and played a drinking game. Enchanting. We talked with her afterwards......just a lovely experience

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Absolutely spectacular!!

Reviewed by: Meera

Not only were we the only two people at the tea house, but we had the maiko and tea house owner all to ourselves to chat with!!!

The maiko herself was so friendly. She performed a tea ceremony with such grace, with an accompanying explanation from the tea house owner. She then performed a small dance (again, an interpretation for the dance was offered by the tea house owner).

We then had time to just talk to the maiko. She was not only obliging to take pictures, but she made a genuine attempt to speak as much English to us. She seemed to enjoy talking about her favorite music, books and activities - she even taught us a few traditional dance moves!

Everyone was very welcoming, and the tea and sweets were delicious! I would recommend this to anyone who is fascinated with maiko and geiko culture, as it's sure to impress every time!

An unforgettable experience 忘れえぬ体験

Reviewed by: 田中利男

I visited with a dear friend from Taiwan. Since it was our first experience, we were both a bit anxious the day before. On the day of the visit, we received warm hospitality from the innkeeper, and as we listened to stories about the history of the tea house, we gradually relaxed.

Then, we enjoyed matcha prepared by Tomoe (the maiko), savored the dance, and even had the chance to chat, making it a truly valuable and enriching time. The photo taken with Tomoe and my friend is a treasure. I will visit again in the fall.

Thank you very much.

 台湾の大切な友人と参りました。
彼女はもちろん私も初めての体験なので、前日から気もそぞろの状態でした。
当日は、女将の温かなおもてなしを頂戴するなど和やかな雰囲気のもと、お茶屋の歴史などについてお話を頂戴し、徐々に気持ちがほぐれていきました。
 そして、富多愛さん(舞妓さん)の点てていただいたお抹茶をいただき、舞を堪能し、更にはお話しもできるなど、本当に価値のある豊かな時間を過ごすことができました。
 富多愛さんと彼女と一緒に写した写真は宝物です。また、秋に伺います。

 有難うございました。

It was a valuable experience! 貴重な体験でした!

Reviewed by: 鈴木律

When I arrived at the location, I felt anxious, wondering, "Is this really the place?" Summoning my courage, I rang the bell, and a very humble woman welcomed me. At first, she explained various interesting things (like tea), and then the maiko appeared! Wow, she was beautiful! I was served tea, and afterwards, she performed a dance. After that, we chatted for a while and played a game called "Konpira Funafuna." I was also able to take photos freely, and I had a very meaningful time. It turns out she was a celebrity well-known enough to appear on Google. Wow, it was so much fun!

現地に着いた時、「本当にこの場所なのかな?」と不安になりました。勇気を振り絞ってベルを鳴らすと、とても腰の低い女性が出迎えてくれました。最初色んな興味深い(お茶とか)説明をしてもらい、いざ舞妓さん登場!いやぁ、きれいでした!お茶をたててもらい、その後舞(?)を披露。その後はしばし雑談や「金比羅船々」でお遊び。写真も自由に撮影できましたし、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。じつは彼女、グーグルでも名前が出る程の有名人でした。いやぁ、楽しかった!!

I enjoyed a moment in a different space. ひとときの異空間を楽しみました。

Reviewed by: beate

On the second floor of a tea house in Gion, while it may lack glamour, it has a certain charm, allowing me to touch upon the tea house culture for a brief moment. After enjoying a tea ceremony demonstration and a dance performance, I had the opportunity to talk with a maiko (Tomita Ai). The conversation about the maiko's life and customs was fascinating. I learned that the kimono, obi, and even the kanzashi motifs are determined by the season (the attached photo is of a fan from July).

In a world where convenience and comfort are prioritized, it was a precious experience to witness the presence of those who preserve traditional culture up close. I also had my first experience with ozashiki asobi (traditional parlor games). It was fun.

I was able to take many photos both in the parlor and at the entrance. While foreign visitors would surely enjoy this, I would particularly recommend it to Japanese people who can appreciate the intricate details and background.

祇園のお茶屋さんの二階、華やかさはないものの風情があり、わずかな時間お茶屋文化に触れることができました。
お薄のお点前と舞を披露いただいた後、舞妓さん(富多愛さん)とお話しできました。舞妓さんの生活や風習についてお話は興味深いものでした。気節ごとに着物、帯はもちろんかんざしのモチーフも決まっているそうです(添付写真は7月の団扇)。
便利で快適が優先の世の中で、伝統文化を守っていらしゃる方たちの存在をまじかに見ることができ、貴重な経験をさせていただきました。
お座敷遊びも初体験。楽しかったです。
お座敷でも玄関先でもたくさん写真を撮らせていただきました。
外国の方も喜ばれるでしょうが、むしろ細やかなディティールやバックグラウンドを感じることができる日本人にこそお勧めしたいです。

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

An out-of-this-world experience

Reviewed by: Hns

We weren't expecting anything other than a tea session so we were totally caught by surprise when we reached Gion Kaikan and were asked if we would mind being part of a documentary on maikos for Tokyo's TV Asahi! The house mother was incredibly warm and hospitable and the maiko was very beautiful and entertaining. She also indulged our questions and played a little game with each of us at the end. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. It's a privilege to be able to book such experiences given the exclusivity of maikos and geikos. Well worth every cent spent!

Kyoto people are also enchanted. 京都人もうっとり

Reviewed by: おかちゃん

We, a group of 14 people from Kyoto who usually have no connection to tea houses, visited one. After waiting for a while in the second-floor room, a maiko gracefully appeared. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of her walking and demeanor. When she prepared the tea for us, we were captivated by her elegant movements. Witnessing the maiko's splendor and the beauty of her actions elevated our spirits.

After enjoying a performance of the "Gion Kouta," we had a free talk session, which gradually eased our initial stiffness and allowed us to have a pleasant time. During this time, the maiko kindly answered all our questions about maiko and tea houses with a smile, making for a very warm atmosphere.

At the end, we learned a simple tea house game and enjoyed it for a while. As expected, the maiko was a pro at tea house games, and none of us could keep up with her.

When we left the tea house, the maiko continued to see us off until we were out of sight, allowing us to feel the hospitality until the very end. Thank you very much.

 日頃お茶屋さんとは全く縁がない京都の人間14名でお邪魔しました。
 2階のお座敷で待つこと暫し、舞妓さんがしずしずと姿を見せました。その歩く姿、立ち振る舞いの美しさに圧倒されました。まず最初にお茶をたててもらいましたが、やはりその所作には見入るばかりでした。舞妓さんの華やかさと所作の様式美を目にして、気分がどんどん高揚していきます。
 「祇園小唄」の舞を見せていただいた後に、フリートークの時間がありましたが、私たちはそれを機に堅さが徐々にほぐれて和やかな時を過ごすことができました。舞妓さんもこの時には、私たちが尋ねる舞妓やお茶屋に関するあらゆる質問に、丁寧にそして笑顔を浮かべながら答えていただき、とても和やかな時間を過ごすことができました。
 最後に簡単なお茶屋遊びを教えてもらって、しばらくその遊びに興じました。さすがに舞妓さんはお茶屋遊びのプロ、誰も歯が立ちませんでした。
 お茶屋を後にする時には私たちの姿が見えなくなるまで舞妓さんにずっと見送っていただくなど、最後の最後までおもてなしを感じることができました。
 ありがとうございました。

Full Day Top Class Bicycle Rentals in Kyoto

Easy way to get though the streets

Reviewed by: kamota

It would be too tough on us to walk around all the way. We had a nice breakfast at a cafe off the main road, and then took a break at nearby the main temple gate, having bought red-bean rice balls from a famous store which will usually is sold out in the morning. It was very fun. I think we covered quite a lot of ground.
By the way, more information on the bike parking lots would be appreciated.

Both our overseas guests and we were thrilled! 海外のお客さんも我々も感激しました!

Reviewed by: MITと愉快な仲間たち

If you're going to experience tourism, I want you to see the authentic maiko and geiko in Kyoto! While researching, I came across this tour.

Generally, it's often said that first-time visitors are not welcome and that it can be expensive, but this tour took those factors into account and was open to everyone.

Starting with tea, followed by dancing, a Q&A session, games, and commemorative photos (photography was allowed throughout the tour, which was wonderful!), it was a packed schedule that created great memories.

I would like to express my gratitude to Tomikiku's mother, Tomitsuyu, for her hospitality. Both of them spoke English very well, which made the overseas guests even happier.

観光してもらうのなら本場京都の舞妓さん・芸妓さんを観てもらいたい!、
そう思って調べるうちに本ツアーに巡り合うことができました。

一般的に、一見さんお断り、費用がかかる、がネックですが本ツアーではそれらを踏まえて
どなたでも受け入れていただけました。

お茶に始まり、踊り、質問タイム、遊び、記念撮影(ツアー中は撮影自由でした。素晴らしい!)
と盛りだくさんの内容でたいへん良い思い出になりました。

富菊のお母さん、富つゆさんこの度のホスピタリティに感謝申し上げます。。
お二人の英語が非常にお上手で、海外のお客さんがより一層喜んでいました。

Smoothly along the open road! 空いている道をスイスイと!

Walking tours have their limits, so this time, cycling was comfortable. We had breakfast at a café just off the road, bought some ohagi that sells out by the morning, parked our bikes at the bike rack near the mountain gate, and took a moment to relax with the ohagi! It was fun. We cycled quite a bit. Oh! But I would have liked a bit more information about the bike parking.

歩きでの観光は限界がありますので、今回の自転車での観光は快適でした。道を少し入った所の喫茶店でモーニングをしたり、午前中には売り切れてしまうというおはぎを購入して、山門の駐輪場に自転車をとめて、おはぎでほっと一息!
楽しかったです。
結構走りました。あっ!でも駐輪場の情報がもう少し欲しかったです。

I recommend it. お薦めです

Reviewed by: 桂k.k

Since I turned 55, I went on a trip to Kyoto with five of my high school classmates. I was looking for something that felt uniquely Kyoto as the organizer. However, most places were a bit pricey... This was great; after tea, we enjoyed a performance of Gion Kouta. We had plenty of time to chat and take commemorative photos. In the end, they even saw us off. The price was reasonable, and although it was a bit of an old tea house, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

55歳になったので、高校の同級生5人で京都旅行。京都らしい企画をと思い、幹事の私は何かないかと探していたのですが。どこもちょっとお値段が…。これは良かったです、お茶の後、祇園小唄の舞を鑑賞。ゆっくりお話しして、記念の写真もとり放題。最後はお見送りまでしていただきました。料金も安い、ちょっと古いお茶屋さんですが、堪能しました。

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Best cultural experience in Kyoto

Reviewed by: M3IS

This was our 1st trip to Kyoto and we were eagerly seeking cultural experience with the famous Geiko (Geisha) and tea ceremony. It was definitely a right choice as we could have the tea ceremony in a traditional tea house, with a Maiko making tea and danced for us, and played traditional dinner games with us. We also have plenty of time to take photos with the Maiko, individually and in group. We were also given plenty of time to ask the Maiko and the tea house lady, "the way of Maiko/ Geiko", which is very insightful to Japanese culture. The Maiko that we had was very pretty and danced very well, and as formal as they might look, she was actually very friendly indeed. The kids loved it too, especially the game part. Worth every dollar and would rate it as a must do activity in Kyoto.

Kyoto Private Maiko Entertainment with Tea Ceremony & Photo Op

Very good!!

Reviewed by: Renata

The tour was really good! we enjoyed it very much. The only thing I'd say is that for a moment there, the English translator stepped out of the room leaving us to talk to the maiko in Japanese. I think she did that because she saw I could speak a little Japanese, but my mother, who didn't, was kind of lost - I had to try to make conversation with the maiko and translate it myself for my mother. But it was only for a few minutes and I'm sure you can ask for the translator to stay with you the whole time. The explanations were very thorough and interesting and they answered every question we had. They were really kind and nice. we enjoyed it very much! I recommend!!!

Fantastic experience, to be recommended

Reviewed by: London Visitor

A great experience that I would recommend to others. An opportunity to learn more about this historic way of life.
The time was well managed and gave us time to watch the Maiko perform and talk to us.
The Maiko we met had excellent English.
My advise would be, take photos but also give yourself time to enjoy the experience. It is unusual to be able to visit in a traditional tea house. Other friends who have been to Kyoto are quite envious of this opportunity.

If you're a repeat visitor to Kyoto, I also recommend exploring the city by bicycle. 京都リピータなら自転車観光もおすすめです

Reviewed by: ブラーボ

The entire journey took 5 hours. I thought the roads might be clear, so I used the service on a Sunday. The rental location was very close to Kyoto Station, which made me feel very secure when returning the bike. This was a big plus. Moreover, the bicycles were well-maintained, providing a sense of safety with the brakes and tires. They were completely different from the mama-chari bikes offered by hotels.

Kyoto is said to be laid out like a grid, and that was definitely true. Once I figured out the general directions, I felt I could get around much more efficiently than by train. Especially in the Higashiyama area, where there are many attractions but limited train access, I often end up walking around and getting tired, so I felt like I really got my money's worth.

The route allowed me to efficiently visit my desired spots in a clockwise direction, covering the north, south, east, and west. There were few hills, and there were also side streets with little traffic, which made for a safer ride than I expected. The only real hills were a bit around Higashiyama. Above all, I was able to enjoy the "everyday Kyoto" that isn't featured in guidebooks at a leisurely pace, making for a very meaningful experience. It was nice to see the city from a local perspective.

If it's your first time in Kyoto, renting a bike and exploring on your own might be a bit challenging. Initially, the classic bus tours or indulging a bit with a charter taxi would be more convenient and reassuring. However, for repeat visitors who might want to revisit certain places at a more leisurely pace, this bike rental is definitely worth it.

Route taken: Total of 5 hours (including 30 minutes for lunch)
1. North from Kyoto Station: Shijo (along Muromachi Street), Nijo Castle, Ichijo Modoribashi, and Kamigamo Shrine.
2. From Kamigamo Shrine southeast: Kitayama Station and Shimogamo Shrine.
3. From Shimogamo Shrine to Higashiyama: Kyoto University, Ginkaku-ji, Philosopher's Path, and Nanzen-ji.
4. From Nanzen-ji back to Kyoto Station: Heian Shrine, Chion-in, Maruyama Park, Gion (lunch), crossing the Kamo River, passing Higashi Hongan-ji, and then to Kyoto Station.

全行程5時間。道路も空いているかな、と思い日曜日に利用しました。借りる場所が京都駅からすぐ近く、ということもあり、戻ってくる際もとても安心して利用できました。これはポイント高かったです。また、なにより、かなり自転車がちゃんと整備されていて、ブレーキやタイヤから感じる安心感がありました。ホテルが貸してくれる、ママチャリとはぜんぜん違います。笑

京都は碁盤の目といわれますが、まさにその通りで、だいたいの方向がわかれば、電車よりもずっと効率よくまわることができたように思いました。特に東山地区は見所が多い割には電車の便がよくないため、結局歩き回って疲れる、というパターンなので、とても得した気分でした。

コースは、ほぼ東西南北を時計まわりに、いきたいところに効率よくいけました。坂道も少なく、また大きな通りのちょっと脇道には車通りの少ない道もあるので、思っていたよりも安全に走行できたのもよかったです。坂といえるような坂は東山あたりで少しあったぐらいでしょうか。なによりも、ガイドブックにのっていない「普段の京都」をゆっくり楽しみながらまわれて、とても有意義な時間をすごせました。ローカルの目線で街をみれたのもよかった。

はじめての京都だと、自転車を借りて自分であちこちまわるのはちょっと厳しいかもしれません。最初はやはり定番のバス観光やちょっとだけぜいたくをしてチャータータクシーがずっと便利で安心しょう。でもリピータの方なら、あそこをもう一度、もうちょっとゆっくりみたかった、という方には、この自転車レンタルはとても価値高いと思います。

まわったコース:計5時間(うち30分ランチタイム)
1、京都駅から北上:四条(室町通り沿い)、二条城、一条戻橋、上賀茂(賀茂別雷)神社へ。
2、上賀茂神社から南東へ:北山駅、下鴨(賀茂御祖)神社へ。
3、下鴨神社から東山へ:京都大学、銀閣寺、哲学の道、南禅寺へ。
4、南禅寺から京都駅まで:平安神宮、知恩院、円山公園、祇園(ランチ)、鴨川を渡り、東本願寺を経て、京都駅へ。

Experience at a tea shop お茶屋さん体感

Reviewed by: アトム

Every year, I visit a tea house that typically only accepts reservations for groups, but I wanted my family to experience it as well, so I made a reservation. Usually, we enjoy performances and games with 3 to 4 geisha and maiko, but since that can be quite expensive, we opted for the experience course instead.

To my surprise, we were able to enjoy matcha tea, watch a dance performance, and participate in games, making it a very cost-effective tour. I highly recommend it if you want a small group experience. While it’s understandable that the shamisen music is played from a CD, I was still very satisfied with the experience.

毎年仕事で一見様お断りのお茶屋さんに行ってますが、家族にもお茶屋さん体験をさせてあげたくて申し込みました、
いつもは舞妓さん、芸子さん、三味のお姉さんと3~4名で舞や遊びを楽しむのですがそれをすると金額が金額なので体験コースにしました。
思ったよりお薄をいただき舞を観られ、遊びも体験できてとてもコストパフォーマンスの高いツアーでした。少人数で体験したいならお勧めです。三味がCDとなるのは仕方ないことで十分満足させていただきました。

I visited alone, but the tea house owner was very kind and spoke to me in a friendly manner, which helped ease my nerves.

In addition to enjoying the beautiful and elegant dance of the maiko, there is also time to enjoy conversation. I think this is a valuable experience that you can't have elsewhere.

I also had the opportunity to participate in traditional games, and at the end, I was able to take a commemorative photo with the maiko.

I especially recommend this for those who find typical Kyoto sightseeing unsatisfactory. If you go as a group, I think the cost performance is quite good.

However, due to the high level of freedom, participants are expected to maintain decorum, so I encourage responsible adults to join.

ひとりで利用させていただきましたが、
お茶屋さんのお母さんがとても親切な方で、
気さくに話しかけてくださったので緊張がほぐれました。

美しい舞妓さんの華麗な舞を鑑賞できる他にも、
会話を楽しめる時間があります。
これは他ではできない貴重な体験だと思います。

また、お座敷遊びも体験させていただきましたし、
最後には舞妓さんと記念写真も撮らせていただきました。

ありきたりの京都観光では物足りない…という方には特におすすめです。
グループで利用すればコストパフォーマンスも悪くないと思います。

ただし自由度が高い分、
参加者の節度が求められますので、
良識のある大人の方はぜひどうぞ。

レンタサイクルサービス(損害保険付)市内緊急サポートサービス完備 雨天時キャンセル料無料<銀輪/MTB/京都駅>

The greatness of the system. システムのすばらしさ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Previously, I tried to go cycling in Kyoto during Golden Week, but on the day, all the rentals were fully booked, and I couldn't borrow a bike. This time, I thought I would definitely make a reservation in advance, but if it rains on the day, I would waste my money even if I made a reservation. That's when I found this plan that allows free cancellation in case of rain. In reality, this year's Golden Week was clear and I didn't cancel, but I thought this system was excellent!

前にGWに京都でサイクリングしようとしたところ、当日は予約がいっぱいで自転車を借りられなかった。今回は必ず事前に予約していこうと思ったが、当日の天気が雨なら予約しても、お金が無駄になってしまう。そこで見つけたのが、雨の場合には無料でキャンセルできるこのプランだった。実際には今年のGWは快晴でキャンセルはしなかったのだが、このシステムは優れていると思った!

舞妓さんまたは芸妓さん 祇園でお座敷体験 お座敷遊び+舞鑑賞+お抹茶 昭和初期から三代続く祇園のお茶屋催行 <貸切/撮影自由/英語対応可/祇園東>

I was moved again at the end of my sightseeing in Kyoto (in the evening)! 京都観光の最後(夕方)にまた感動!

I strolled around Kyoto city in the morning and joined this course, which was set at just the right time in the evening. Although it lasted for 50 minutes, it was enough to talk with a maiko and catch a glimpse of Gion. Additionally, there were other friendly and attentive guides providing explanations, which made for a satisfying experience. The cost performance is not bad at all, but since it's not cheap, I rated it "4 stars." I recommend it for groups of 3 or 4 who are wondering what to do in the evening!

朝から京都市内を散策し、夕方ちょうど良い時間に設定されていた本コースに参加しました。50分と言う時間ですが、舞妓さんとお話しし、祇園を垣間見るには十分な内容でした。また、舞妓さん以外にも親切丁寧に説明する方がおり、満足できる内容でした。コストパフォーマンスも決して悪くは無いのですが、安くないので「☆4つ」としました。3,4名のグループで夕方何をしようか?と思っている方にはおすすめします!

Kyoto Backstreet Biking Tour with English Guide

Definitely worth it!!

Reviewed by: Need 4 Speed

The tour teaches that the city of Kyoto is truly filled with history!

Far better than taking the bus or a train! The streets of Kyoto are filled with experiences full of scents and sounds that can only be experienced through a bike ride.

You really get a sense of how tall the Torii gate of Heian Shrine are when your ride right up to it!

Plus my guide was excellent!! Pacing me so that I was never bored or tired, she was full of knowledge, answering every question I had during the tour!

And when she caught those glimmers of interest in my eyes, she would quickly change the course such as showing me both the new and old Gojyo-bashi. Also when we happened to find a mini festival, she made a few additional stops for me to enjoy it!

The freedom you get when you have an excellent guide and a bike is your mode of transportation!

This course gave me the confidence to take on a longer course the next time I visit Japan!

  • Found a festival going on during the trip!

  • Back Alley of Kyoto!

  • Where the movie "SAYURI" was taken

  • This place was really nice
