Kyoto: Maiko Happy Hour & Tea Ceremony at a Lifestyle Museum
Tondaya is a nationally registered Important Cultural Property, and a treasure trove of historically valuable artifacts and stories. Our knowledgeable staff look forward to sharing its rich history with you. We hope this experience will offer you a glimpse into the elegant world of historical Japan, evoking the atmosphere of watching a performance in a machiya from the late Edo period. This is truly a unique experience, as maiko are generally inaccessible during their training and are only able to interact closely with the public in special settings such as this. The chance to take photos with the maiko is also a rare opportunity, as one is not allowed to take photos of maiko in the public. Both the location—a historic cultural landmark—and the opportunity to meet an authentic maiko while enjoying traditional Japanese arts and entertainment make this a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

【Fushimi inari shrine】A local born in Kyoto shares the secret path away tourists
【Private tour by a local guide】 I was born and grew up near Fushimi Inari Taisha. I am not a foreigner. So I have known the Fushimi Inari shrine since I was a boy. Now Fushimi Inari shrine is one of the most popular places to visit, but there are too many people around and it is like an amusement park. I would like you to feel the nature and peace here as the locals used to. I am a local who knows this mountain's courses very well and many beautiful hiking paths are hidden, they are not on the official map. If you like to know places that are not crowded in Kyoto, feel free to ask me. Welcome any questions about Japan, Shrine, & Zen Buddhism as well. I also own my tour agency, Tour Bench Inc. since 2011. Consider coming on my Tour of Kyoto. I offer a variety of tours. 【How much exercise 】 Fushimi Inari shrine is a super big mountain so we have to take the stairs or a hilly way to reach the top. The height is about 200 meters so it is not quite a high mountain. Bring some water:)
