An interesting look at the world of geisha

4.00A visit to better understand the fascinating world of geisha. The art museum houses a collection of objects related to this profession, with detailed descriptions of each stage of the process: a really interesting path. The show consists of a short dance that offers a taste of what a complete show could be.
Not Enough Value for Price

3.00Booked the experience for a weekday at 1:30 PM for 2 adults. Arrived a little early and could walk through their museum beforehand. The performance itself was about 10-20 minutes and was fairly interesting (one single geisha performing a dance). Overall, I wouldn't say the price/ticket fee was of value for what you actually received. Probably found more enjoyment of watching the full geisha show on their projector screen in the museum area.
Stunning museum in Gion with Maiko Dance Experience

5.00This was an excellent experience. We arrived early and walked around the museum; we also watched a brief video that explained about the history of Gion, the dances by Maiko, and the history of the school. The dances of the Maiko were excellent and ample time given to the performances. It was a great beginning to start our stay in Kyoto with this museum and performance.

5.00It was a spectacular dance with emotions right down to the fingertips. I like the fact that all the exhibits except Kyomai accept photographs I was pretty happy to get up close and personal with the performance of the capital dance.

5.00It is short but enjoyable, in addition to watching the dance, you can visit the museum with several videos that explain you and see the theater in which they perform. A fantasy to experience
