An evening with a maiko or geiko, called ozashiki, normally needs a regular’s introduction to a teahouse. These dinners open that door: you eat Kyoto cuisine while they dance, pour and chat, and nobody minds questions.
Explore Kyoto’s Gion district with a cultural walk, watch Maiko performances, and enjoy authentic meals. An enriching, small-group experience for culture lovers.
