Private Banquet with Maiko and Geiko after Dinner

I'll be happy to introduce Kyoto’s hidden culture and Kagai (‘Flower Town’Entertainment District) where Maiko and Geiko lives, while paying the greatest respect to the traditional culture of the district’s strict. We have saying "Ichigen-san Okotowari" which means even though Japanese people are not allowed to get in Ochaya for the first sight. Someone familiar with the place and has trust from them needs to introduce you. This is the reason why I take time for dinner with you and explain the details and culture before getting in Ochaya. I believe that would help you enjoy the time with Maiko and Geiko more, and of corse, the perfect dine experience will also be such a wonderful time! The perfect restaurants are prepared, however, I can also accompany the restaurant you would like to dine in. Please let me know anything! It's a private tour for YOU!

Kiyomizu Walk Tour and Make Your Own Incense Bag

Kiyomizu Walk Tour and Make Your Own Incense Bag

What sets this experience apart is the chance to connect with Kyoto’s traditions in a hands-on, personal way. Rather than just observing, you’ll actively create something meaningful — a fragrant incense pouch using real Japanese scents, guided by a local shopkeeper with deep knowledge of the craft. The setting is a long-standing souvenir shop in a historic area near Kiyomizu Temple, not a touristy workshop. Before the activity, we’ll take a short walk through peaceful streets and hidden shrines, where I’ll share stories and cultural background that give context to the incense and Kyoto itself.
