Unveiling the Secrets of Maiko and Geisha Culture in Japan
In the past, there were hanamachi (an entertainment quarter) all over Japan, and you could enjoy performances by Maiko and Geisha at hot spring inns. Nowadays, though, there are fewer aspiring Maiko and Geisha, and their numbers are decreasing each year.
Experiencing Japan’s traditional culture and history through Maiko and Geisha is a unique and precious opportunity. In historic districts like Kyoto, there are plans that allow you to watch Maiko and Geisha performances and even take photos with them. So, when you visit Japan, be sure to give it a try!
