What To Expect

If you are looking for the most authentic experience of geisha culture in Kyoto, this is it. This private party with Maiko and Geiko is held in an Ochaya which is not open to the public. In order to enter an Ochaya, you need to be introduced by their patronage. Using the relationship with 4 major geisha districts in Kyoto, we will offer you an authentic geisha experience that will be a highlight of your trip. You will be served a traditional Japanese kaiseki (full-course) dinner with drinks. Enjoy watching their mai (traditional Japanese dance) performance, playing a fun traditional game and chatting with them. This is a completely private experience and no other guests will join in your party. Please let us know if you are thinking of surprising your friend or family on a special occasion, such as birthday or anniversary.
