This was THE experience of my life and I cannot wait to repeat it again. Also, they were kind enough to make a full vegetarian Kaiseki for me and let me tell you it was DELICIOUS.
All the staff were lovely, particular thanks to Mika the interpreter and Madoka the waitress, who were both wonderful.It's not touristy or gimmicky at all, it's authentic and fun.
We were afraid that this activity was going to be to "touristy" and that the money spent wouldn't be worth it. We were wrong. We had a great time. Getting this close to a Maiko and getting to ask her whatever you want is a great opportunity.
Figured it would be a "cheesy" touristy show. Before I go on, just do this! Make a reservation now don't wait. You won't regret it. The hosts were wonderful, friendly, engaging and all around great people. Best time and best thing we did while in Kyoto. Don't miss this you will regret it if you do.

Such a unique experience this evening is. The dinner, a multi-course Kyoto specialty, was carefully prepared and delicious. The Meiko and MC were highly entertaining and gave the small audience a chance to see inside the secretive life of a Maiko.
We had a totally awesome experience. Everything, the dinner and of course getting to meet a Maiko, enjoy her performance, asking lots of questions and playing games, made this experience unforgettable.
