Activity

No special preparations are needed for your transformation into a maiko with Japanese makeup, hair styling, gorgeous kimono, and hair ornaments. Please leave everything to the staff on the day of the event.

Photographers who specialize in capturing the beauty of maiko in old Japanese townhouses are in charge of the photography.

The venue for the maiko experience is an authentic Gion teahouse built in the Taisho era (1912-1926), a one-minute walk from the south gate of Yasaka Shrine. A photographer who is an expert on the beauty of maiko will take professional pictures of you in your maiko costume.

Three 2L-size photos are included.
