Enjoyed this experience. The Maiko was lovely, danced beautifully, and was gracious in answering our questions. The plus was the permission to take pictures and video. Our host was wonderful in making the evening fun and explained it all. The tea ceremony portion was just enough to learn the details of drinking tea properly.

A very interesting experience to meet with a real geisha (maiko)! She had a beautiful performance for our small group. Nana our leader was very hospitable and helpful to learn about the geisha history and culture. We also chose to get dressed up in kimonos.

Amazing and educational performance from the staff here. Love the performance and professionalism of the geisha who actually attended to us. We also had a session where there’s a Q and A. At the same time we got to learn how to make green tea, accompanied with dessert

Words cannot quite express how wonderful my experience here was today. I had reserved a private tea ceremony with performance by a Maiko, with a friend. My friend had an emergency and could not come on the trip, so I was by myself. The staff and Maiko were so wonderful, helping me take photos, answering lots of questions and providing much information, and the kimono were beautiful. Part of the experience was to wear kimono, and they even allow you to wear it out around town after the ceremony. I could not have been more pleased and can’t wait to come back with my friend.

My wife and I came here, and it was truly an amazing time. Everybody was very courteous and welcoming. When it came time to put on a kimono, the staff was extremely helpful, even putting my wife's hair up in the process. The geisha show was very entertaining and informative, as was the tea ceremony. Throughout the time there, the staff was constantly trying to make our experience better, constantly making sure we were comfortable and offering to take photos of us in the kimonos. 5/5 stars, without a doubt and I would go higher if I could.

We did the Geisha Tea Ceremony with Kimono Rental. Very cool experience. The staff was wonderful, walked around with kimono for an hour or so, then learned about gaiko and maiko for an hour. Highly recommend!

Great experience with a young Maiko preparing tea for us. She also performed a dance and answered questions from the group. The sweet we had with tea was to die for, it had a thin layer of rice pastry filled with red bean paste. Overall everything was really nice. I wish I could do other experiences too.
