Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
Great
Reviewed by: Sophie, 2017/12/13Very informative and calm tea ceremony. The host answered all questions to our fullest satisfaction. Great way to learn more about the history of tea ceremonies in Japan, the utensils and what state of mind is required for/induced by a tea ceremony. The Matcha we got to make for ourselves at the end was very nice also.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto
Group Tea Ceremony
Reviewed by: smartie, 2017/11/27This location is to easy to find and very close to another big tourist spot. The bus goes almost to the door. currently road works are making the bus routes all a little different so that does need to be noted. The ceremony it self was amazing. The lady that held the ceremony is a master of her craft and has an exquisite eye for detail. I would totally recommend. We booked the group Tea Ceremony as it was cheaper we only had one other person join our group of three.

Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
Informative and relaxing
Reviewed by: Lou , 2017/11/26We loved our tea ceremony with Camilla. We learnt so much and she was very good with our kids. It is located off one of the best streets I’ve ever visited and set us up all calm and relaxed for a great day out.

京都高雄 もみぢ家 秋の川床ランチ 淡雪のようにとろける森嘉の湯豆腐定食プラン 事前予約（2023/10/1～11/30限定）＜川床席確約／送迎あり／高雄＞
ピックアップの時間が、間違っていました。
Reviewed by: 橋本三千代, 2017/11/16私に送られてきた時間は1040でしたが、紅葉やさんの送迎は11時に来ました。友達は、乗るときに転びケガをしました。
もみじやさんは、ベルトラに11時の訂正を入れたといわれましたが、こちらには、何の変更もありませんでした。ピックアップの時間間違えは最低です。
でも、もみじやさんは、平身低頭、大変よくしてくださいました。ベルトラさんは、どう、お考えですか？

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus
NO Services
Reviewed by: Billy Q-Groupleader , 2017/11/11It was 34 people in our group. The waiter and waitress were so busy catering to two groups of Japanese customers (about 20 people), they did not offer for us to order any drink. Our group was trying to get their attention to order some beverages but they did not walk over to us. The show itself is ok but I would not recommend this event.

穏やかな風景+暖かい料理
Reviewed by: Chennu Wang, 2017/10/19带妈妈一起去的，有接送服务，让我们的出行方便了很多。
虽然红叶还没有开始红，但川床料理无论什么时候去，风景都是那么漂亮。
这是妈妈第三次去京都了，说这次的地方没有游客，最舒服。
汤豆腐很好吃，看着量少，最后都吃到肚子圆滚滚了。
饭后距离返程车出发，还留有一段散步时间，和妈妈一起登上了护国寺，很棒的体验。

Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
An absolute must!!!
Reviewed by: Jacquelyn, 2017/09/23What an AMAZING experience. I messed up my reservation date and the staff at Camellia emailed me that following day to say they missed me and if I would like to reschedule to the following day, they could accommodate me at anytime. I went the following morning, right at 10am, and was greeted with extreme warmth and calm. One of the women welcomed me in and ensured that I was able to attend a tea ceremony right away! The experience itself was beautiful and intimate (I was the only one!). My lovely demonstrator spoke to me at the beginning and explained what I should expect over the next hour. She then demonstrated the tea preparation and shared that tea with me and then she showed me how to do it myself. Lots of yummy green tea! Afterwards, she explained the whole entire room to me, all the symbolism, the traditions behind it all, it was amazing!
When we were finished I went down stairs and noticed they have beautiful matcha whisks and for the most reasonable price I've seen in my entire 2 months in Japan.
I loved my experience so much that I brought a whole bunch of broshures back to my hostel to encourage other tourists to go!!
You must!! Camellia is the BEST place to have this experience

Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
Calming & Comforting
Reviewed by: Meghan Caritativo , 2017/09/03My friends and I were vacationing in Japan, and sometimes traveling in a foreign country where you don't speak the language, but this tea ceremony instantly transported all of us away from the stress. Keiko was a wonderful host. She was so pleasant and so knowledgeable. We felt so at peace with her and learned so much! The green tea ceremony was fascinating and there is so much meaning behind every action. If you're in Kyoto, put this experience on your must do list!

Summertime Riverside Dinner in Kyoto with Maiko at Momijiya (2024/7/1～9/30)
Amazing experience
Reviewed by: Kim, 2017/08/28I booked this for 2 people even though I was going alone, because it was the only way the website would accept the reservation. The day of the tour I had my hotel contact them to update my hotel pick up info, which also updated the number of guest. I was pleasantly surprised that they refunded the second ticket. The food and location were amazing, as was the meetings with the maiko and watching them dance. I wish there was a translator during your meeting with them. Since there wasn't, I only spent about 3-5 mins with each maiko whereas the tables of Japanese guests spent as much as 15 minutes with each of them. Otherwise, it was amazing.

Maiko Dance
Reviewed by: Stuart, 2017/06/16I 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, 2017/06/04You 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).

Maikoo dinner and show
Reviewed by: Lisa, 2017/05/24We had a very pleasant experience for that night, the dance show was good and the hotel they took us for dinner was in a very nice setting with a nice Japanese Garden. However, it was very dark to take pictures. The night view on the peak in Kyoto summarize our trip nicely.

Fantastic
Reviewed by: Scott , 2017/04/22We 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!

Great experience
Reviewed by: Val, 2017/04/10We 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
