Really cool experience - got to throw ninja stars and blow darts at targets and learn a lot about the history as well. Well worth it!

This experience cannot be called « authentic ». It was conducted in a shopping mall and not a historic site and consisted of an explanation by a tour guide with some props and some photo taking opportunity while trying out prop weapons

Kind people who were very helpful and informative. Funny “teacher”/guide who told us about samurai history.

Loved the experience! However, the waiting was longer than the actual experience. You can't really walk around. They have you just wait in one area. The tea ceremony was short and my group I was traveling with agreed that it seemed expensive for this experience.

Tourist trap. Very disorganized. Avoid it, not worth the money or the time. They put the kimono on and left me seated on the street for 45 min, no one available to ask what’s next. Terrible experience

So awful. Incredibly late to start, no apology and the staff’s English was very hard to understand. Avoid!

Amazing experience and lots of fun . Would recommend it for everyone must try experience . Do visit during a trip in Kyoto

It was good fun, but I didn't expect to be part of a huge group. We all got different color bracelet and it was confusing. We didn't dress up with the rest of the group, which was a bit odd as we stood out then, but we did later in a private room.

We did the meet & greet with a MAIKO (Geiko apprentice) with a translator. It was a very unique experience worth paying for. She did a welcome dance, answered questions for us, played games with some of the guests and the translator explained all about the differences between Geiko and MAIKO. My 12 year old son enjoyed it a lot too! We had booked a walking tour of gion and the meet and greet packaged together, but the walking tour was cancelled due to rain. They refunded us for the walking tour and our experience was amazing.

This activity was a highlight of our time in Kyoto. My group had some stressful travel mishaps and the company was kind enough to allow us to come 1/2 hour late at closing time. We went from hectic and rushed to relaxed and pampered as soon as we arrived. We fully enjoyed getting our hair done and dressed for the tea ceremony as well as the informative cultural learning during the tour. I appreciate the time alllowed for taking pictures too. I would recommend coming before sun down for better photo oops. The Japanese garden outiside the venue is beautiful.

Our small group had a fabulous time. The tea ceremony was the perfect kick-off and introduction to our time in Kyoto. I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in doing something like this.

This was my favorite experience in Kyoto ! Dodo dressed me in a beautiful kimono, took the best photos of me (feel free to use any as promotion for your company), and taught me tea ceremony. Due to no tourist I was so lucky and got a private experience. I felt so elegant and pretty ! I would highly recommend. Thank you so much Dodo~

Amazing! We started with the Kimono tea ceremony and the care and passion by the staff was incredible! I cannot speak highly enough about the fantastic time we had learning and being apart of such a beautiful culture. They truly gave us a wonderful look into the famous tea ceremony tradition and made us feel so special the entire time. Immediately after, we wanted to continue learning about the history of Japan and had a great time with the staff at the ninja museum. They made it so fun to learn and both locations were extremely accommodating for English speakers. We absolutely loved these experiences and are recommending them to all of our friends visiting the area!

Super friendly staff! The host was amazing and was willing to take all the photos I wanted. The tour was worth it to experience getting to wear samurai armour and learn the about the armour itself.

Amazing opportunity to learn about geisha history and culture paired with traditional Japanese meal. Immersive, educational and entertaining. A must do!
