Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto

Highly recomended

Reviewed by: Najuan

It was such a great experience! We learned so much about the Japanese culture through the tea ceremony. The host was a true tea host master.
I actually wanted to schedule a second visit, but unfortunately we didnt have enough time.
Highly recomended.

The tea ceremony was very enlightening. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all our questions. The ceremony itself is very elegant and beautiful. The fun part was making your own cup of matcha green tea. I learned a lot and enjoyed this experience - highly recommend!

Maiko Dance

I thought this was a great experience...I was really only here for the maiko dance, even though I enjoyed the meal & gardens.
I really enjoyed talking to the maiko after the dance and feel that it's something I'll really remember from my trip!

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Ok but not really tourist oriented

Reviewed by: All

You will see a maiko and get dinner for a significantly lower price then most tours that do this.... but honestly I would go to geisha corner and just watch the show there and not join this tour if you were to ask me again. This is as the tour is in Japanese- I was prepared for this and did not mind it but still.... on the bus you are given a English hearing guide so you can understand and they point out different buildings as you drive but it is pretty dark throughout the tour so you can't really see so much. The food was not tourist friendly, it was authentic Kyoto cuisine and it looked nice but there were very weird looking dishes with no English explanation.... so I did not eat 2/3 of it because I did not want to get sick with ingredients my body cannot handle (we are talking very strange unidentifiable ingredients). The maiko comes and does 2 dances, then you can take a picture with her and then she answers questions in Japanese. So the whole interaction with her is about 15 minutes long tops. Finally the gardens in the location were nice but overall not worth the 60 pounds just go to geisha corner and treat yourself to fancy nice dinner (that you can eat).

We weren't sure what to expect with this dinner as it's a very reasonable cost we had low expectations, however were very pleasantly suprised. The hosts at Shozan were very friendly and accomodating and the food was lovely and traditional.
The arrival of our Maiko was announced and she danced so beautifully allowing the the rare opportunity for a photo with her even a few questions, followed by a walk in the gardens.
The bus tour allowed us an insight into places for us to visit in the following days.
Thanks for a great evening!

We were very pleased with the wonderful dinner set out ready for our arrival. I am vegetarian but could not organise prior notice, so the hostess explained the food types and which were suitable for me. Three of our party are elderly and stools were quickly provided for them. The Maiko was exquisite and performed two dances with opportunity for photos at the end. The walk through the gardens was like a magical forest.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend as an insight into Japanese culture

The peak of the autumn leaves has passed. もみじのピークが過ぎて。

Reviewed by: 森のみこりん

Since we gathered on-site, traveling by train is the better option than taking a bus during busy times when arrival times are unpredictable.

First, we were taken to the large hall and enjoyed a yudofu meal set. It was very healthy and delicious.

After the meal, we immediately started our tour with a map in hand. Perhaps because the peak time had passed, there were fewer people, allowing us to take our time exploring.

There were quite a few ups and downs, so if you're not used to exercising your legs and back, it might be tough later on... (laughs)

Next time, I want to visit during the peak of the autumn leaves, even if it means dealing with crowds.

I was satisfied with both my sense of taste and sight.

現地集合なので、混雑時期は到着時間が読めないバスでの移動より、電車での移動が正解です。

まず最初に大広間に通され、湯どうふ御膳をいただきました。
とてもヘルシーで美味しかったです。

食後は早速、案内図片手に見学開始。
ピークが過ぎたせいか人出が少なく、じっくり見学できました。

結構アップダウンがあり、足腰を鍛えていないと後が厳しいかも・・・（笑）

次回は混雑覚悟で、紅葉真っ盛りに行ってみたいです。

味覚と視覚の両方満足しました。

Tea ceremony experience. I am Japanese. 茶道体験 日本人です。

Reviewed by: りんごりんご

I had always wanted to experience a day of tea ceremony, and I thought there would be many options in Kyoto, so I searched online. Since I had weekdays off from work, I participated alone. Most of the other experience courses I found online required two people, but Koto allowed participation even for one person, which was a relief. They provided thorough explanations for anything I didn't understand. Although it was mainly aimed at foreigners, it’s a great opportunity for Japanese people to learn as well, so I highly recommend it.

茶道の１日体験をずっとしたくて、京都に行けばたくさんあると思い、ネットで探しました。仕事で平日休みだったので、一人で参加しました。ネットにある他の体験コースは二人からがほとんどでしたが、こちらのkotoさんは、一人でも参加OKでしたので助かりました。わからないことも丁寧に説明して頂きました。外国人がメインとのことでしたが、日本人が気軽に学べる機会なので、是非オススメしたいです。

Reviewed by: LONELY☆

The instructor who guided us was very pleasant, and I was able to learn a lot about the Urasenke tea ceremony. They answered various questions in detail, making it a very enjoyable time. Since it was during the New Year period, the decor and the tea utensils used were more colorful than usual (according to the instructor), which added a special touch.

There were many enjoyable aspects, but the best part was being able to experience the tea ceremony in such a nice atmosphere.

担当していただいた講師の方も、非常に雰囲気良く、裏千家の茶道を詳しく知れた。様々な質問にも細かに答えていただき、非常に楽しい時間だった。正月期間でもあった為、内装や用いられる茶器なども普段より華やかな物(先生談)であり、特別感があってよかった。
色々楽しかった点はありますが、雰囲気良く茶道体験ができたことが最も良かった点です。

If you don't want to stand in a long line, 長蛇の列に並びたくないなら

Reviewed by: KAZU

If you want to avoid long lines, it's worth it. Also, it's nice that you can enjoy your meal in the temple grounds without worrying about the crowds. Many comments mentioned having trouble finding the reception area, but if you enter through the North Gate and navigate through the long line, you can go directly to the Eikando Hall, which is the dining area and where you can also get your admission ticket.

長蛇の列に並びたくないなら価値ありです。
それと食事も混雑を気にせず境内でゆっくりできるので助かります。
受付場所に困ったというコメントが多かったのですが、北門から入って長蛇の列の間をくぐり
直接、永観堂会館へいけばそこが食事場所であり、入場券も頂けますよ。

It was nice not having to wait in line, but... 並ばなくていいのはよかったけれど

Reviewed by: A.O

During the peak season for autumn leaves, it was appreciated that we didn't have to wait in line. If I think of it as a cost for the fast pass, I can understand it, but the dining experience was disappointing, with the building, room, atmosphere, food, and taste all at a level reminiscent of a school trip. I believe the atmosphere would change significantly if they at least created partitions for each group in the large tatami room.

紅葉の大混雑時期、並ばなくていいのは有り難かったです。ファストパス？の為の費用だったと思えば納得できますが、お食事は建物、部屋、雰囲気、食事、味とも修学旅行？のレベルで残念でした。畳の大部屋でもせめてグループ毎についたてを作って下さったりすれば随分雰囲気は変わるかと思うのですが。

The autumn leaves were at their peak, and there was a long line to enter, but we were able to enjoy a special viewing without any hassle. It was very helpful since I was with my mother, who is almost 90 years old.

I didn't have high expectations for the meal when I made the reservation, but the portion sizes were sufficient for men, which was great. I was disappointed that we couldn't enjoy our meal while looking at the autumn leaves, but thank you for a wonderful evening.
