Overview
Schedule
~21:25 Check-in at Gion Tomikiku (Exact Time Confirmed After Booking)
As you are welcomed to the restaurant, relax and make yourself comfortable in the tatami-matted room. A maiko (or geiko) will serve you unlimited drinks, including beer, wine, Japanese sake, or soft drinks during your 80-minute stay.
Watch as the maiko performs an elegant Nihon Buyo dance with one recorded music. The maiko is scheduled to do two performances. However, you are welcome to ask the staff to change the schedule to one performance to extend your chatting time with the maiko.
Use this time to ask questions and learn more about the life of a maiko. Not sure what to ask? You can ask the maiko to tell you about her gorgeous kimono, why she decided to become a maiko, what she enjoys the most about being a maiko, or what a normal day in her life is like.
"Ozashiki asobi" are parlor games you can play with maiko. While the games are simple enough, they can get tricky—imagine playing a game while singing in time to a shamisen playing. To make it even more challenging, the maiko are experts at these games and the loser of each turn must drink!
Photos and filming are permitted throughout your entire experience. Toward the end, you can even take a photo together with the maiko for an unforgettable time in Kyoto. With the recent restrictions on photography in Kyoto, this is a chance not to be missed.
