I'll be happy to introduce Kyoto’s hidden culture and Kagai (‘Flower Town’Entertainment District) where Maiko and Geiko lives, while paying the greatest respect to the traditional culture of the district’s strict. We have saying "Ichigen-san Okotowari" which means even though Japanese people are not allowed to get in Ochaya for the first sight. Someone familiar with the place and has trust from them needs to introduce you. This is the reason why I take time for dinner with you and explain the details and culture before getting in Ochaya. I believe that would help you enjoy the time with Maiko and Geiko more, and of corse, the perfect dine experience will also be such a wonderful time! The perfect restaurants are prepared, however, I can also accompany the restaurant you would like to dine in. Please let me know anything! It's a private tour for YOU!

The Hochoshiki Knife Ceremony is a traditional Japanese culinary ritual from the Heian period, practiced in Kyoto. It involves skilled practitioners wearing ceremonial attire and using a specific style of knife to cut fish into festive shapes without direct contact, a tradition from imperial court celebrations. This art form, primarily performed during special festivals called "Sekkai," is not just about eating but appreciating the craftsmanship and cultural significance of the dish. This Hochoshiki experience allows visitors to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and the deep-rooted culinary traditions of Japan, making it a memorable part of their visit.
