Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Unlock the Doors to Traditional Kyoto. While many tours offer a distant glimpse of Geisha culture, we invite you inside the closed doors of an authentic ochaya (teahouse).
You won't just watch a performance; you will be the sole guest in a private audience with a Maiko and the teahouse owner, a retired Geisha. From the live shamisen accompaniment—a rarity in tourist experiences—to the opportunity to ask personal questions and discuss the intricacies of their attire, this experience offers a depth of engagement that most visitors to Kyoto never see.
Maiko's dance performance with shamisen(1-2 dances)
Private access to an authentic teahouse
Short guided walk through a historic geisha district
