Traveler reviews
Very enjoyable evening
Amazing personal experience. Pair it with the theater nearby which has a show with two Maiko. The difference with this experience is the dinner and that you can interact with the performer and take a photo with her.
Magical evening in Gion meeting a real Maiko
I had such a lovely experience with Akko! She was incredibly kind, warm and friendly, and made the whole evening feel very natural and special. We walked around Gion before having dinner with a Maiko, and Akko shared lots of interesting insights along the way. She was also so sweet about helping me take some great photos around Kyoto, which I really appreciated as I was travelling on my own. A beautiful and memorable evening - thank you, Akko!
I will forever cherish the memory I made with this trip
Our guide was so kind and informative and maiko san was so beautiful and answered a lot of our questions. This was the highlight of my Japan trip. Hope to do it again.
Meeting A Geisha
My guide was absolutely amazing! This was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Meeting a geisha has always been a dream of mine, and this experience exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, and everything was well organized. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto!
Awesome experience.
Unique and awesome experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable in Kyoto culture, he tirelessly showed us around and introduced us to a great meal. Interacting with Geiko was the highlight of our tour. She delivered a great performance and showed such grace and compassion. Highly recommend!!!
