Enjoy an exclusive happy hour with an authentic maiko in a historic Kyoto townhouse, featuring a refined tea ceremony, traditional performance, and interactive maiko games.
Come explore Tondaya, a machiya (traditional wooden townhouse) nationally registered as an Important Cultural Property with a rich history that our knowledgable staff are excited to share with you.
Be introduced to an authentic maiko, who will perform a traditional tea ceremony. This will be followed by a buyō performance—a refined form of traditional Japanese dance accompanied by classical music. After the performance, you can try traditional party games as the maiko explains how each game is played and enjoy them together with you. At the end of the experience, you will have time to converse with the maiko and take commemorative photos together.
