Best part of our 3 weeks in Japan!

We attended this experience as a family of four and had a wonderful time. Ms. Risa’s hospitality and attention to detail were truly exceptional. We felt extremely welcome and were able to learn so much about the culture of Kyoto and the lives of Maikos and Geikos. We would also like to highly compliment Momitomo, who spent the morning with us as a Maiko. She was very professional, incredibly friendly, and, in addition to her great performances, shared valuable insights into her life and training - which is much more demanding than we had originally imagined! Hands down, this was the highlight of our three weeks in Japan, and we would highly recommend it. Thank you!

Incredible experience

This is a must do when in Kyoto. We visited on 16th April and the Maiko, Ichitama, was graceful and fun. We enjoyed the tea ceremony, dancing and a very fun game of konpira funefune.

I Want to See U Again Ichikiyo

The Maiko was very beautiful and nice. Her performance was surprisingly mesmerizing and made me appreciate her skills and wonder at how impressive a performance from a geiko would be.

Excellent Tea Ceremony with Momitomo (Maiko-San)

We had such a great time experiencing a formal tea ceremony in Gion District with a Maiko-San (Momitomo - romanji spelling unsure). She was a wonderful host and taught us much about her experience and lifestyle. Thank you Momitomo-sama!
