MAIKO Traditional Performance

A maiko, also known as an apprentice geiko, undergoes a training process to become a professional geisha in Kyoto. Their job consists of performing dances and songs, as well as playing traditional Japanese instruments. Because their schedules are tight due to training sessions, you will seldom see them walking on the streets. They take their lessons in the morning then head out to work at night. This tour will give you the chance to talk with a maiko and learn more about the Japanese culture.
