Where To Watch A Geisha Show In Kyoto
Kyoto has a wealth of cultural attractions. No wonder millions of tourists come here to experience its glory. Boasting luxury hotels and the traditional comforts of bed and breakfasts, Kyoto remains a thriving travel destination. And at the heart of its heritage are the geisha. While there are many women who walk around wearing the traditional attire of geisha, there is only a handful who are trained in the art of professional hosting and entertainment in the traditional Japanese style. In Kyoto, full-fledged geisha are called geiko, while trainees are known as maiko, and they are mainly concentrated in five kagai - or geisha districts - across the city. Even then, entry to performances and tea ceremonies are limited and is often exclusive. However, there are some that are open to the public. Check out this list if you're interested in knowing where to watch a geisha show in Kyoto.
