Zážitok s Maiko v Kjóte

Für mich war die Veranstaltung sehr begeisternd - ich habe sehr weit vorne sitzen können, habe die Teezeremonie mitgemacht und hatte die Chance, gute Aufnahmen zu machen. Das Essen war gut und ausreichend. Der Host hat für mich verständlich gesprochen, sodass ich allem gut folgen konnte. Aber der größte Lob gehört der Meiko, die jeden Abschnitt der Veranstaltung sehr gut gestaltet hat. Klare Empfehlung!

communication with klook to confirm food dietary options was a bit challenging, a lot of back and forth. basically its a set menu that cannot be amended or changed. nevertheless, the food was good. its worth paying extra to sit at the front row so you have a clear unobstructed view of maiko. she was really sweet, professional and gives you a nice glimpse into her life and career choice. highly recommend booking as soon as you know your date as this is an affordable way to see a maiko.

this is a great way to see a maiko, up close and personal. i highly recommending booking as soon as you know your date. if possible, pay extra for the front seat row so your viee is not obstructed. its not the nicest setting location - like an old classroom but for the price, its enough for a first time experience. dinner was better than expected. location was easy to find.

I can see how this activity could disappoint. the night we went so it was perfect. but there are a lot of seats and if they were full it could have been disappointing. we paid 2200 pp extra on arrival to sit up front. 800 pp is second row. and third row is even less. otherwise you’re stuck to the last 3 rows of the room even if the place is not full. the dinner is traditional Japanese. I liked it but my kid did not. if you add the tea ceremony it will be served at the start of the dinner time. everyone watches it. even those who didn’t pay. but you’ll get your own tea set to participate. then they’ll bring out your dinner (those who did not book the tea ceremony add-on will be eating already). drinks are additional price. you don’t get even water with the meal. only about 3-4 people can be selected to play games. and the gift is a tiny self adhesive sticker with the Maiko’s name on it. the interpreter was good.

I originally booked a lunch experience with maiko, but Klook contacted me and informed me that it was already fully booked. They changed my reservation so that I got the maiko experience for the evening of the same day. The experience included an English-speaking interpreter who interpreted for the maiko, and we got to ask questions and take pictures with the maiko. We also played a game with maiko. Even though it wasn't a lunch experience, I was still served lunch. The experience was very successful, and the cooperation between Klook and the experience provider worked well. I got my money's worth, even though I didn't get the experience I originally planned. I'm glad everything went so well and I got the full experience. My own experience included: Tea time with Maiko, Q&A, photo with Maiko, Maiko performed two dances, game time with Maiko, and also dinner because my lunch was moved to the evening.

maiko was beautiful, her dances stunning. we could ask questions and my 12yo son got to play a game with her. I enjoyed lunch and you can buy drinks. I had a wine, my son had a coke. only downside was the venue. it was like sitting in a classroom. not very intimate or visually appealing.

such a great experience to meet a maiko. she showed how to make matcha. I've learned a lot from Q+A. she also danced and played games with us.

this was such a fantastic experience! loved meeting our maiko and listening to her answer our questions. highly recommend!

Maiko and team were very friendly. Learned a lot about the life of a Maiko and how she transitions to a Geiko (also known as Geisha in Tokyo region). Maiko danced for the group and also demonstrated tea preparation.

Picked the lunch event with maiko. She arrived only few minutes after everyone had sat down. We were served our lunch while also being allowed to ask maiko some questions. Turns out she was very new at the craft. She also allowed us to take photos with her. Then she performed a dance for us which was a delight to watch. At the end we were served desert and allowed to participate in a game with maiko. It was an enjoyable experience and gave a good insight into the culture of Japan and what a Maiko/Geiko does and is about. Definitely recommend this event if you’re visiting Japan for the first time like myself. I’d advice to pick seats closer to the stage.
