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.
Note: 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.
If you selected the kimono rental & hair set option, please visit the location below on the day of your tour, before the show.
