Reviews

“Excellent guide and meaningful experience.”
The guide was lovely and very knowledgeable about the area. A perfect start to understanding Kyoto’s traditions.

“A magical evening with Yoshino and a Maiko.”
Yoshino was the absolute sweetest and made our little one feel so welcome. The experience of meeting a Maiko was unforgettable—truly once in a lifetime.

“Exceeded all expectations.”
Our private tour of the Geisha district, combined with the Maiko performance and personal interaction, was incredible. She performed beautifully, answered all our questions, and even played a fun traditional game with us.
