Spend 90 minutes in Kyoto with a Maiko, from tea ceremony demo and dinner to Q&A, two dances, and a photo plus Senjyafuda charm.

“Nous avons préféré la partie spectacle et jeux. Nous avons moins apprécié le mélange de groupes différents en simultané (repas et préparation de thé pour certains). Le repas n'était pas vraiment à notre goût et ne sentait pas grand chose, mais typique. Pour finir manque de décors (pas de paravent). Globalement satisfait quand même.”
