Wonderful family geisha experience
What an amazing experience! After a short walk around the local area we went to a cafe and met with a lovely Maiko. She answered our questions about her training and the lifestyle. We had two very beautiful dances and enjoyed a drink. The matcha latte was delicious. The maiko was very graceful and sweet. We had some lovely photos with her to remember our special time in Kyoto.
A truly memorable experience! Do it if you can!
This is my 4th trip to Kyoto and of all my experiences this by far is the most memorable! The Maiko’s performance was excellent! The exquisite detail of her kimono and painted features combined with her graceful movements convinced me that I was witnessing something special. Supporting the performance was the location which helped me think I was back in time. The experience also allowed us to ask questions to the Maiko which elevated our appreciation of the Maiko’s dedication to her art. As we walked back to our meeting place, we were accompanied by the Maiko. It was like walking with a celebrity and we felt honored by her kindness in walking with us. A special thank you to our guide and interpreter who was very friendly and kind. I highly recommend this experience if you’re able to do it!! A must do!!
