Gion Tour & Maiko eller Geisha middag med licensierad Guide
Beskrivning
Fördjupa dig i charmen i traditionell japansk kultur med denna exklusiva 4-timmarstur. Utforska Gion på en 90 minuters guidad promenad med en licensierad guide och lär dig om distriktets rika historia, seder och traditioner. Efter sightseeing följer din guide med dig för att njuta av en vackert presenterad Kaiseki-måltid och tillbringa tid med en Geisha eller Maiko i en autentisk Kyoto-miljö. Till skillnad från andra turer med shower speciellt för utländska besökare, låter denna tur dig uppleva hur det verkligen är att äta med en Geisha eller Maiko. Det finns inga flashiga shower eller snabba danser – bara wabi-sabi från riktiga Kyoto. Du kan ställa frågor, prata med Geisha/Maiko och delta i klassiska ozashiki asobi (traditionella Geisha-spel). Viktiga anmärkningar: 1: Enligt lokal sedvänja ombeds gästerna köpa en drink till Maiko eller Geisha. 2: Endast en Maiko eller Geisha kommer att ordnas för din upplevelse; val är inte tillgängligt. 3: Observera att musik är förinspelad och inte framförs live.

We met our guide. Seiko, at our hotel and walked to the Gion district. On the way she told us a lot of history of the area and traditions. She was well versed on so many topics. At the restaurant Seiko joined us for dinner and translated our questions for the Maiko. Our Maiko was amazingly poised and performed her job so well. At 19 she said she hoped to become a Geiko next year. She started her career at 15! She performed two dances for us. One of the Bird and the Plum which told the story of how a male moves between women. The second dance symbolized spring and summer. Both were intricate and exact. Our Maiko taught us a cup game they play in Japan and she giggled when I messed up the pattern. Too cute. It was a dream come true to meet her and ask her all about her culture. She was one of four children and no one in her family had ever taken that path to become a Geiko. She told us it’s a unique world in which she lives. Apart from her family. No cell phones. 2 days off per month. And they are not permitted to go to familiar places like Starbucks or McDonalds. Her life is dedicated to preserving the culture of Japan and entertaining people. Quite remarkable! I am so grateful for this experience. It was incredible!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt and touching review! I am very happy to hear that you were inspired by the Maiko’s dedication to preserving Japanese tradition and their unique way of life and enjoyed the conversation and the traditional cup game with her. It is my goal to share the depth of our culture as a guide, so hearing that it resonated with you means a lot. Thank you again and I hope to welcome you back to Kyoto someday. - Seiko
My wife and I had a great time on this tour. Yoshi was super knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic about the experience. The restaurant he took us to was very good, and our experience with the Geisha (Katsu-tomo) was very entertaining! During dinner, Yoshi served as translator between my wife and I and Katsu-tomo, and this worked seamlessly. This was a very memorable experience and one we would highly recommend to couples or anyone with an interest in Geisha culture in Kyoto.
Thank you very much for your nice review. I wish you will visit Japan more frequently and enjoy not only art and history & culture but also beautiful nature in countryside. Thank you and best regards Yoshii Kenichi
We booked the Kyoto 4-hour Gion Private Guided Tour with Geiko (Geisha) Dinner and had high hopes for a memorable and engaging cultural experience. While our guide Tomy was very kind and knowledgeable—he gave us a nice walk around Kyoto before dinner—the main attraction, the Geiko interaction, was unfortunately a big disappointment. For nearly $2,000 for four people, we expected something much more immersive and dynamic. The Geiko did perform one short dance and played a single game with us, but the rest of the time felt awkward and unstructured. We were put on the spot to ask questions, and when we didn’t, the room fell uncomfortably silent. There was little effort to guide the conversation or create a lively, entertaining atmosphere, which is what we assumed was part of the experience. To add to the letdown, we were asked if we wanted to end the evening over an hour early. For the price and the promise of an unforgettable cultural exchange, this felt rushed, flat, and far from the rich, engaging evening we were led to expect. This might work for someone simply wanting a brief glimpse of Kyoto’s traditions, but if you’re expecting a meaningful or entertaining interaction with a Geiko, this tour didn’t deliver for us.
Thank you very much for your reply. We understand that you are disappointed in our Geisha/Maiko tour. We would like to clarify that our tour is one that is not like the flashy shows and energetic entertainment that cater to overseas visitors. These are what you often see on Instagram and other sites. They are not a true representation of Geisha/Maiko culture. Instead, our tour is authentic as this is the experience you would have if you really were to call a Geisha/Maiko to dine with you. This can feel slow and uninteresting to some that are not accustomed to with Japan's traditional culture. We hope that you will have other journeys in Japan that suit what you are looking for soon. Sincerely, Japan Guide Agency.
Superb authentic experience. Our guide Shun was wonderful and dinner was top quality. Each dish was beautifully presented and well executed. Our lovely Maiko Yuki was a delight. An unforgettable experience and absolute highlight.
Thank you for your assessment of me. That evening spent with your family was a wonderful memory. And the good drawings your daughter made are still in my mind. If you ever come to Kyoto again, I would love to guide you again. Next time, I will guide you in Kyoto in the daytime. (lol) Shun

Thank you for leaving a great review. I am so glad that you had once -in -a lifetime experience with MAIKO ( young apprentice GEISHA). The experience really is the best part of travelling in KYOTO. Thanks for joining the program. From your guide, Anne.
Ensure you book a guide to get the full experience Andy was very knowledgeable and gave us all the information about each location He gave us a wonderful experience of everything that we saw and a delicious lunch. 5 stars to Andy for his patience and professionalism
I really appreciate your high evaluation. It is my great honor as a guide to hear such heartwarming comments from our guests. I am very glad to see you are very interested in Japanese temples and shrines. And I was quite surprised your talent that you can make not only yourself but other people around you enjoy. It was also a wonderful and unforgettable day for me. Thank you again. Sincerely yours, Andy Murao
