MAIKOの紹介： Meet-&-Greet、京都で舞妓ショー＆体験

I bought an iron teapot from this company. It was completely overpriced and I feel robbed.

This was a really educational and interesting session. The translator does a great job explaining about the Maiko’s lifestyle. There was plenty of time for questions and answers. Lots of local crafts available to buy in the building too.

Very interesting insight into life of Geiko. Great opportunity to ask questions and have answered by genuine Geiko.

This experience was the highlight of my Kyoto trip! This young girls life, her story, the traditional costume and dance. I loved it! Book now! It’s only 45 min but it’s enough

It was an interesting experience because there was a Q&A session with the Maiko to learn a little bit about her life and experience. On the other hand, overall experience a little short. 2 dances of only 2 minutes...

Wonderful and educational. The Maliki was so soused and elegant and so maturely answered our questions. Such a unique experience that one cannot have anywhere else in the world.

This was billed as a 45-minute activity, including the Q&A period following the dance. The dance itself was very brief (8 minutes) and the rest of the time was the Q&A session. While we enjoyed seeing the maiko dance so gracefully, it would have been nice to have more dance and a shorter period for questions--although (don't get me wrong) we enjoyed this part of the presentation, as well.

It’s great to see a Geisha in training. She was very poised. I was glad that I was able to ask questions and take pictures with her. The Handicraft Center was a superb venue.

This was our final evening in Japan and our tour company has reserved this dinner with the Maiko performance for us - this was such an honorable way to conclude the trip to Japan, very special! Maiko dance and moves were peaceful and relaxing, but even more was her personally and the way she carried herself during the "ask questions" part afterwards, though my absolutely favorite experience was when we played this Japanese version of the "rock paper scissors" game with her and she started singing - absolutely loved it! It was interesting to learn to process of becoming Maiko & Geiko (Geisha in the East of Japan) - quite a life time and a 24/7 type of commitment just for a very few brave and persistent ones, but that seems to be story of the old world and old ways in this XXI, the only way to keep old traditions alive is to make a great sacrifice in your life and for that an absolute respect to all Maikos and Geikos
