It was delicious! 美味しかった❗

Reviewed by: 京都にはまったおばちゃん

I was able to enjoy my meal slowly and quietly.
The courtyard had a nostalgic Japanese atmosphere.
Each decorative item and small object had its own charm, and I found myself admiring them for a long time.
The meal allowed me to experience the essence of Kyoto, and of course, it was delicious.

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.

紅葉の名所「永観堂」絶景の紅葉鑑賞 寺宝展巡りと湯葉と湯豆腐の御膳付プラン 事前予約限定!並ばずスムーズに拝観可能!<2020/11/10~12/6限定/東山>

You’ll miss out if you don’t take advantage of this! ここは取らなきゃ損します!

Reviewed by: PROHFY

Eikando is confident in its autumn leaves, as suggested by its name, which includes "momiji" (maple). In the morning, we visited Tofuku-ji and then came here, but my husband said this place alone was enough. I agreed. During this season, Kyoto can be crowded, so having a meal included was appreciated. If I were a bit younger, I wouldn't mind searching for an hour for a delicious meal, but as a retiree, I prefer to avoid unnecessary movement, so having a meal included was great. The meal itself was the usual yudofu set, but it wasn't particularly bad; it was just fine. This is a must-visit spot for viewing autumn leaves.

もみじのという冠がつくぐらい、永観堂は紅葉には自信を持っています。朝、東福寺をまわってこちらに来ましたが、主人はこちらだけで十分とのこと。私も同感でした。この時期は京都市内は混んでいるので、食事つきなのもありがたかったです。もう少し若い頃ならば、おいしい食事を求めて1時間くらい探すのも苦ではありませんが、当方はリタイア世代なので、あまり無駄な動きはしたくないので、食事の心配をしない食事つきはよかったです。食事自体はお決まりの湯豆腐定食ですが(笑)特にまずいということも無く、まぁこんなものでしょう。紅葉鑑賞には外せないスポットです。

Special 10 Course Kaiseki Dinner in Kyoto's Gion District

Cherry blossom season in Gion followed by an excellent meal

Reviewed by: Gerald Elder

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.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto

Definitely worth it

Reviewed by: Svea

Since I was travelling on a budget I wasn't sure if it was worth paying the money for this tea ceremony. But it was! I was curious about the tea ceremony as a whole, like the history and the meaning, and I got to learn about that and ask questions. Getting to whisk the tea myself was great. It was everything I wanted. There were 10 people in attendance.
The location is easy to find and easy to get to. I walked there from Ryoanji in a little over 20 minutes.

Arigato gozaimasuuu

Reviewed by: Colliwog

The staff was lovely and it was a fun, quiet, and intimate experience. I enjoy things like this but it’s not for everyone. I would have enjoyed trying to drink the tea the traditional way and bow once the tea maker gives you the tea but you have to be in the first position next to the door to do that. So if you want to experience that and be put on the spot a little, make sure to sit there. Overall it was a great experience and gave me a taste of something I would like to do again, hopefully for an even longer time.

It was my first time seeing the illuminated autumn leaves. I was surprised to see a large crowd lined up from the gate to the parking lot. We had an early dinner (which was delicious) and then headed to view the autumn leaves. As soon as we passed through the dedicated entrance, we were greeted by the illuminated leaves, and it was truly moving.

Since it was a Saturday that was expected to be quite crowded, I signed up without hesitation. On the day of the visit, I first enjoyed a meal. The location was easy to find. There were many side dishes that were already set, and they were a bit cold, but I enjoyed the warm yudofu. I was also happy to have a place where I could stretch out and relax. After the meal, we had the freedom to explore Eikando. We could enter without waiting in line from the group entrance. Since it had been raining since the morning, it wasn't overly crowded, but it would likely be quite busy on a sunny day, so I think the advantage of this was significant. The autumn leaves at Eikando were indeed impressive. Over the course of my 3-day, 2-night stay, I saw a lot of beautiful foliage, but this was the most wonderful. I would like to go on this tour again.

I visited on a day when the autumn leaves were at their peak.

When searching online for the special night viewing at Eikando, I found that it requires a long wait. It's frustrating to lose time waiting during a trip. Moreover, having dinner in Kyoto can be quite pricey. Additionally, there aren't many restaurants near Eikando.

Although it was kaiseki cuisine, I thought it was on the simpler side. The taste was generally good. Excluding the 40 minutes for the meal, I was able to enjoy the autumn leaves at a leisurely pace for almost three hours. I highly recommend it to everyone!

ネット上で永観堂の夜特別拝観を検索すると、長時間待つ必要があることが分かりました。せっかくの旅で待ち時間で時間とられるのがやはり悔しいです。しかも京都で晩御飯食べるとそこそこの値段がかかります。しかも永観堂の近くはそもそも飲食店がそんなにたくさんではありません。

The meal (it said 3000 yen) and the light-up for 2000 yen?? I think that's a bit expensive. Is it an additional 1500 yen just for the privilege of entering without waiting in line? (Excluding the admission fee) It's true that even on a weekday night, there are a lot of people, but that's to be expected at a famous spot. It felt like we went just to see the crowd. That can't be helped. I would recommend it for those who really want to see Eikando.

Since there was no waiting time, we were able to fully enjoy our main purpose, which was the "nighttime autumn foliage illumination." It's rare to be able to enjoy this time of year, which is typically crowded, so smoothly.

As I passed through the crowded gate, I saw a sign for lunch reservations, and I was guided right away. The room was a large hall and lacked a sense of luxury, but the attentive service and a glimpse of autumn leaves from the window made up for it. I recommend making a reservation for 11 AM when it's less crowded. The portion of yudofu was on the smaller side, but enjoying a meal while having a beer in the bustling Eikando temple felt special enough. On my way back, I was surprised to see long lines at all the nearby shops.

混雑する門をくぐると昼食予約案内の看板があり、すぐに案内していただきました。お部屋は大広間で高級感は有りませんが、丁寧な応対で窓から紅葉も少し見えます。オススメは空いている11時の予約。湯豆腐の量は少なめでしたが、混み合う永観堂の中でビールをいただきながらゆったり食事ができる特別感は十分ありました。帰路、周辺の店はどこも行列で驚きました。

During the autumn leaves season in Kyoto, everywhere is crowded with visitors. After purchasing tickets, you often have to line up again at the entrance.

However, after dinner, we were able to enter the famous autumn leaves spot, Eikando, without any wait, which was a great plan. It saves time, and you don't have to worry about finding a place to eat after the visit or about closing times, which is also appealing.

The food was decent, and considering it includes the admission fee, the price is reasonable.

紅葉の季節の京都はどこも拝観の人、人、人。入場するまでにチケット購入した後入り口でまた並んだり。
夕食をとった後スムーズの紅葉の名所の永観堂に全く並ぶことなく入れるなですからいい企画です。時間の節約にもなりますし拝観後に食事場所を探したり、閉店時間を気にせずに済むのも魅力です。

I utilized the dining experience starting at 7 PM on the 25th. I arrived around 6:45 PM and was surprised by the long wait line for entry, which was said to be a two-hour wait. After that, the staff member at the reception guided us around the crowded parking lot line, and we safely arrived at the Eikando Hall. The interior was calm, and I was moved to be able to enjoy a leisurely meal before witnessing the beautifully illuminated autumn leaves. There was also a timely performance of gagaku, allowing us to spend an elegant moment. Seeing that incredible line made me realize that I was glad to have chosen this plan.

25日19時からの食事を利用しました。18時45分頃に到着しましたが、受付に行くにも難儀するほどの入場待ち行列(二時間待ちとの事)には驚きました。その後受付担当の方が人で溢れかえる駐車場内の行列を大きく迂回しながらアテンドしていただき、無事に永観堂会館に辿り着きました。館内は落ち着いており、ゆったりと食事をとってからライトアップされた素晴らしい紅葉を観ることができ感動しました。タイミングよく雅楽の演奏もあり雅なひと時を過ごすことができました。あの凄まじい行列を目の当たりにすると、このプランを利用してよかったと実感しました。

We had a wonderful time walking around while being guided by a monk at Bishamondō, learning various things while enjoying the beautiful autumn leaves. The meal was delicious, and we enjoyed this experience as a couple, thinking that it's nice to do something like this once in a while.

綺麗な紅葉を観ながら、お坊さんから毘沙門堂を案内され色々説明されながら周り、とても勉強になったり楽しい時間を過ごしました。
お食事も美味しくいただき、たまにはこういうのもいいねと夫婦で楽しみました。

Since it was the season for autumn leaves, both the bus and train were not operating as usual, so we left a bit early and arrived safely. Without having to wait in the long line, we were able to enjoy the night view of the autumn leaves. Unfortunately, the dining area was not ideal. Since I was with my elderly mother, we requested a table seat instead of the tatami room that the staff recommended. The room reminded me of a dining area from a school trip. There was no heater, and dining in the cold was not very pleasant. It was disappointing, especially since the autumn leaves were so beautiful.

紅葉の時期なのでバスも電車も通常通りの運行では無く、少し早目に出て無事に到着。長蛇の列を横目に待つ事無く夜間の紅葉を楽しめました。残念なのは食事処の部屋です。高齢の母親と一緒だったので案内の人が進める畳部屋では無くテーブル席を希望しました。修学旅行の食事処を思い出す様な部屋でした。ストーブも無く寒い中での食事は今ひとつでした。紅葉が綺麗だっただけに残念でした。

I didn't have high expectations for the food from the start, so I wasn't disappointed. I prioritized the timing when making the reservation.

However, I wish I had been seated at a table instead. The tatami seating on the second floor was difficult for me due to my leg issues.


お料理は最初から期待していなかったので、
がっかりもしまでんでした。
時間優先の申し込みでした。

ただ、席がテーブル席だったらよかったのにと思いました。
2階の階段での座敷は脚の悪い私のは辛いものでした。

Entry without waiting in line. 並ばずに入場

Reviewed by: Dai

On Saturday, there were far more people lined up before the park opened than I expected, but it was really convenient to enter without waiting in line. This alone deserves ★5 stars.
The food and service were average, and if you simply deduct the entrance fee, I felt a bit dissatisfied. However, considering that I saved time and effort by not waiting in line and could finish my meal while others were still waiting, I think I will definitely use this option again in the future.

 土曜日ということもあり、予想をはるかに上回る数の人たちが開園前から並んでいましたが、並ばずに入れて本当に楽でした。これだけで★5つです。
 食事や応対は普通で、単純に入園料を差し引くと若干不満が残りますが、並ぶ時間も労力も節約でき、皆さんが並んでいる時間に食事も済ませられるということを考えると、今後も利用しないテはないと思いました。
