Take a tour of Kyoto's famous Gion district and learn all about the mysterious geisha traditions of the area. Your local guide will tell you about the traditions from an insider perspective about Geisha culture. At the same time you'll explore Gion's beautiful streets, temples, shrines, and shops, for a comprehensive overview of historic Kyoto. The mysterious world of Geisha can seem exclusive and challenging to discover, but on my experience
･In the first half we will walk in Gion and discuss the living traditions, their lifestyle and history.
･In the second half we will meet an apprentice geisha, Maiko. First we will talk with and ask her questions. Also we will watch her dancing, having one of these, a cup of tea or lunch or dinner together.
*Picture and filming of Geisha is fine but not allowed to post it in public.

Amazing opportunity to learn about Geisha culture

5.00Wow this was such a wonderful experience! We had booked the Gion walking tour and meeting a Geisha. Since it was raining hard we decided to skip the walking tour and just join for the Geisha meeting. This was my favourite experience of our whole trip! Kenta is a fantastic guide with very good English and he was very helpful and explained all the details about the Geisha tradition. It was a very small group and a great intimate setting in a traditional tea house , where we met the apprentice Geisha. We got a very authentic glimpse into the life of a Geisha and the tough path of becoming one. Thank you Kenta, for this opportunity to learn about Geisha traditions in such a unique way. I can highly recommend this tour!
Memorable Experience

5.00Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was a good walking tour because it enabled us to explore the streets of Gion that we otherwise would have missed. The lunch provided was great. We also were able to meet a Geiko in a much better and respectful setting. We were given time to ask questions and learn from the Geiko. She performed some dances for us which was great. I was choosing between tea making ceremony or this, and I am glad that I went with this. It was a memorable experience. Loved it!
Great experience!

4.00I would have appreciated a start time that was slightly earlier so that the dinner would be served slightly earlier since it is after the tour.

5.00A rare opportunity to experience the world of the Geiko as an outsider. Ken was personable and had many interesting stories about the history and meaning of this Japanese cultural phenomenon. The dinner and performance were a truly special part of our trip. Highly recommend!

5.00This was amazing! Akari did such a wonderful job explaining geisha, geiko, culture and answering our group’s questions. Dinner was very good and our Maiko was extremely poised and elegant. She was a gem. This is a very worthwhile activity in Japan and I would highly recommend folks taking this guided trip.
Respectful, Authentic, and Informative way to enjoy Geisha Culture!

5.00I had a wonderful time learning about the Geisha districts of Kyoto with Kenta-san. I knew I wanted to confirm a chance to see a geiko or maiko and this tour delivers with plenty of times and options available. It seems like this tour group has built a good report with some of the geisha agencies in Kyoto and it was a wonderful chance to support the artists who dedicate so much time and effort to their craft. I also very much enjoyed getting to see less traveled locations in Kyoto and highly recommend!
