Kyoto Private Dinner at Historical Teahouse with Maiko Dance Show
Overall Rating
5.00Amazing cultural experience
Reviewed by: American Tourists , 2019/11/13We knew that we were going to have an amazing cultural experience from the moment we arrived.
We were greeted by our hostess from the moment of our arrival. She was very pleasant, informative and flexible. We arrived nearly 30 minutes before expected therefore our hostess served us tea and took us on a tour of the house.
The highlight of the evening was meeting the Kyoto Maiko. Our group was allowed to ask questions and we were very surprised to learn that she was only 16 years old. Her level of grace, elegance and maturity far exceeded her years. My favorite part of the evening was learning the traditional games and the cultural dance was exceptionally beautiful.
The dinner was very traditional and also exceptionally tasty.
I highly recommend this tour for a truly culturally enriching evening.

Amazing experience!!
Reviewed by: Erika Veron , 2019/04/07We got to meat a Maiko named UmeHina. She was truly nice and candid, despite the language barrier she tried hard to make conversation and to understand what we were saying and answer our questions. She's amazingly beautiful, breathtakingly. We played dames, laughed and experienced an incredible night. Highly, highly recommended
Thank you for coming to Tondaya. and we had nice review from you .Thank you very much again !!

Once in a lifetime experience
Reviewed by: Kamishichiken, 2015/03/13I chose this for a meal with clients, thinking that it would be something different from the everyday.
I was concerned about the claims of actually having dinner with a maiko, but that was blown away as soon as I arrived! There she was, already waiting for our group to arrive.
I also could not believe that she was really only in her late teens. Of course, she cut a cute figure, but more than that, she was extremely skilled at talking with everyone present. I had assumed she would have trouble joining conversations with older adults, but not at all.
It isn't quite right to call this store a restaurant, but it isn't a shop either. It really is a traditional machiya, straight from the past, and a part of Japanese culture. The parlour was quite luxurious, too.
Taking into account how much my clients enjoyed themselves, the value can't be beat, I would say.
If I could come up with a reason to stop by and dine with the maiko of Kamishichikan even once a year, it would be fantastic. I will definitely return!
