Private Dinner with a Geisha
Kyoto, Japan
Trip Type: Dining Experiences
Duration: 3 hours
Geisha traditions are traced to the spiritual center of Kyoto, where they were specified as geiko and maiko. Such a lovely tradition can hardly ever be enjoyed privately. From centuries ago, geiko and maiko parties have been given privately only for limited members of society. This tour makes it possible for visitors to truly experience the essence of geiko and maiko in an authentic manner. During the event, English-speaking guides will escort you around the geiko and maiko district, to be followed by a dinner or party arrangement lasting two hours. Since geiko and maiko are privately arranged only for your group, you will have the chance to fully exchange conversations with them and hear their stories which would normally not be told to the public.

This is a truly private and authentic, party arrangement with a privately arranged maiko for approximately two hours. This includes a guided tour and Japanese dinner course.
You may choose from two options: a half Kaiseki course option in a room with others or a full Kaiseki course option in a private room. Kaiseki, or Kaiseki ryouri, is a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner that came about originally when monks would ward off hunger with warm stones.
Due to the half Kaiseki option being in a room shared with others, voices from neighboring tables may be overheard. But there will still be one maiko with her undivided attention to the room.
For the full Kaiseki course at the Japanese restaurant’s private room, there will be one maiko there specifically for your room.
Both half and full Kaiseki meal options will meet at 5pm at the Minamiza theater and will go on a guided tour of the geiko and maiko district. Then, at around 6pm, when you arrive to the restaurant, you will have dinner at the Japanese restaurant accompanied by one maiko and your guide, who is also your interpreter.
