Duration 1 hour and 15 minutes Difficulty Easy
4.9(1,199 reviews) JPY 13,000 ~
Book now Watch a real Maiko perform up close—an extremely rare chance, as only about 40 remain in Kyoto today. The show includes two short dances (about 10 minutes total), followed by a Q&A, photo session, and a traditional Japanese game.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING⬇️
- The performer will be a MAIKO, not a GEISHA. A Maiko is a apprentice geisha, which means that she is training to become a geisha. She is a apprentice geisha, which we call a Maiko.
- Maiko performances are intentionally short to preserve the art, so she will NOT perform for the full hour.
- We offer two different tour options:
Tea House: held inside an authentic Kyo-Machiya.
Gion Theater: held in a dedicated showhouse.
Please check the photos before booking.
- We cannot have any late arrivals because of manners to other guests and to the geisha. If you are late, unfortunately we cannot provide a refund.
