Really great fun - you get a mix of seeing training styles and some bouts at the end too. Audience members can go in a ballot to participate. The snack bag was a good souvenir.

This was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto! We went for an afternoon show and it was a lovely experience. We learned about the history and daily practices of Geishas and Maikos, as well as got to experience a live performance from one of the few Maikos left in Kyoto!

The matcha and sweets were great. I loved our instructor on the 4th floor. I understand there is not to be done about the scenery, but a more serene environment, maybe outdoors, would really make it more enjoyable. I think people would be willing to travel further for the added benefit.
