About the Host

Highlights

This small-group tour of up to 8 people takes you through Gion, Kyoto's famous geisha district, with an English-speaking guide to learn about geisha culture and history, followed by a performance by a maiko, an apprentice geisha. Your guide helps you understand the traditions and lifestyle hidden behind the sliding doors and how one becomes a geisha. After the performance, there is a Q&A session where you can ask the maiko your questions directly. Depending on the option you choose, you finish the tour with a Japanese lunch, a cup of tea, or dinner.

Program

Walk through Gion, the geisha district,
with your guide

This small-group tour takes you through Gion, known as Kyoto's geisha district, for about 1.5 to 2 hours with an English-speaking guide. Starting from the Statue of Izumo-no-Okuni, you explore the streets of Gion and learn about the history of geisha culture, including the traditions of becoming a geisha (geiko), their lifestyle, rituals, and arts.

Watch a maiko performance and talk with her

In the second half of the tour, you move to Miyagawa-suji in Kyoto to meet a maiko, an apprentice geisha. Enjoy a performance of one or two songs during the approximately 50-minute session, and ask your questions about geisha culture and the life of a maiko during the Q&A.

Depending on your option, you spend time with the maiko over lunch starting at 10:30 AM, a tea break starting at 2:30 PM, or dinner starting at 6:30 PM. Lunch is a Japanese meal, the tea break includes a cup of tea, and dinner is a shared platter with 8 dishes.
