Maikoya is a cultural experience venue located in the heart of Kyoto.
Maikos and Geishas are a treasured symbol of historic Japan. Maiko is a term for a lady who is studying to be an entertainer, fully trained in traditional Japanese arts. It takes many years to learn all the traditions and practices that have become time-honoured and admired by citizens of Japan and to visitors who meet them.
Maikoya Kyoto is one of the few only place in Japan where visitors can have a chance to talk to a Geisha and Maiko in training and also take a picture with her, anytime throughout the year. Many maikos have found a calling to demonstrate their traditional arts to tourists and visitors.
The traditional value that Geishas and Maikos exemplify is respect. In particular, respect for the guests and respect for the arts. Aesthetics have always been an important aspect of Japanese culture and Geishas consider this in all of their practices and rituals. These stem from as far back as the mid-17th century, as elite Japanese tea houses trained young men and women to serve a particular type of tea only found in Japan. Soon, they began to entertain guests with other traditional arts such as flower arranging or playing traditional instruments like the shamisen and koto. These entertainers, who have always been deeply respected, are called Maiko. When these ladies complete their training and are considered professionals, they are given the label of Geiko.
Experience so many cultural activities in one convenient location! Don’t miss out on a chance to meet such a refined symbol of Japanese culture!
