Overview
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.
Meeting and Pickup
We, your guide will be waiting aboveground at Exit 4 of Gion-Shijo Station, right in front of the Izumo-no-Okuni statue, next to Shijo Bridge. You will recognize us by a signboard with an origami crane logo and the text “Ken’s Tours Kyoto.”
End Point
If you choose "Dinner with Geisha", we'll take dinner with Geisha at the restaurant. Maiko, an apprentice geisha will show up, talk and dance.
