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.
