One Hour Geisha Show in Gion Kyoto

5.0
(21 reviews)
Kyoto, Japan

1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

The Maiko will perform two traditional dances (10 minutes total), followed by a Q&A, photo time, and a chance to play a traditional Japanese game.

IMPORTANT: Maiko performances are intentionally short to preserve the tradition, so she will not perform continuously for one hour.

Please arrive 5–10 minutes early.

If you prefer a show held inside a traditional tea house, please check our other Maiko experiences. This show takes place in a showhouse, not a tea house—please review the photos before booking.

When booking, provide a phone number that will work in Japan and can receive WhatsApp messages.

We have 2 set options with the Geisha Show, these activities will happen at 5:30 PM after the show at the same venue!

Mochi Making Option:
Add a fun Mochi Pounding & Making experience—learn the traditional way of making mochi and enjoy tasting your own creation.

Sushi Making Option:
Choose our Sushi-Making class and learn to craft authentic Japanese sushi with easy, hands-on guidance.
