The performances are wonderful, but the surprising permission for the audience to take photos throughout very nearly ruins the experience: sit close to the front or you may find your view obscured.

Get there early to be first in line . Sit near the front right side of the theater for the best view of the tea ceremony. Great way to see a taste of everything. Bring cash!

Get a seat in the front for a much closer better view or on the right of you want a close view of the tea ceremony.

In high season, need to stand in line at least one hour ahead of show time to secure a good seat. Kind of a long wait for a 50-min show. But the show is well worth it, especially the geisha dancing

Enjoy seven of Kyoto’s professional performing arts in one hour at Gion Corner. Kyogen classical comedy , Koto harp, the tea ceremony, flower arrangements and more!

While the tea ceremony seemed a bit rushed (drink your tea and eat your cake ), the dancing and music were spectacular even without a translation.

Perfect to get a bit the taste of Japanese culture. 1h is exactly enough.

Ticketing is a pain! Be prepared to wait hours to get ticket which is only sold 30 minutes before the show? We got there and found huge lines and had to wait hour and a half, standing outside.

Miyako Odori is a traditional dance performance by Maiko & Geiko (geisha ), only done in April. Beautiful and amazing!

Sit on the right side of the stage, you will get a better view of the green tea ceremony.

Its very entertaining...The hour show goles by really fast....all 7 performances are awesome!

Would love to come back here and see a show

Watch all 4 traditional arts in one digest formula performance - http://www.kyoto-gioncorner.com/global/en.html

A little slow but interesting. Cash only so come prepared.

Don't bother going.Too expensive for no reason.The audience is allowed to take pictures during the acts & you end up trying to watch in between phone screens & cameras .Wasted time &money.Too touristic

Watching Geisha performance

Winter performance is 6pm and 7pm, December thru March

Didn’t like it much, although maybe is a good and fast way to get to see a little bit of some japonese art , for me it’s all very slow and not quite interesting, also expensive - ¥3150 p/p, 50 min show

Para turistas , pero da una muestra rápida y concisa de el teatro japonés. Llegar 1 hora antes para comprar los boletos y formarse.

Si es época de actuaciones merece la pena! Solo dura una hora y la estética es genuina

É bem pra turista ver...mas não deixa de ser interessante.
