Kyoto is famed for its shrines and temples, which are full of countless unique stories that will astonish you, making you fall in love with and connect yourself to their ancient history. I am deeply fascinated by the living traditions called Geisha or Geiko hidden behind the sliding doors of Gion. The mysterious world of Geisha can seem exclusive and challenging to discover, so on my experience we will take tea break, talking with Maiko, Geisha apprentice and I will reveal the entertainers who adhere to this traditional lifestyle, their history, rituals, and nuances of the art-form. ･At the beginning part we will discuss the living traditions, their lifestyle and history. ･We would announce like "Ladies and gentle men..." and she, Maiko will show up. First we will watch her dancing. ･Then we will talk with and ask her questions, having a cup of tea.

    It was an amazing experience to be able to interact with a true geisha apprentice (maiko) in a relaxed setting having a cup of tea. Gets you immersed in the real Japanese culture. A Once in a lifetime experience indeed Ken is very knowledgeable about geisha culture and also extremely dedicated to his customers, doing his job in a very friendly way. Ken is also very knowledgeable about other things to do while in Kyoto, he recommended other great places (restaurants, tours, etc) Overall a great tour with a great guide. You won't get a lot of tours with such dedication and friendliness. Must do in Kyoto.
    This tour in Japan is organized by Ken's Tours Kyoto
