  • The geiko and maiko of Kyoto, keepers of time-honored traditional dance and music, are concentrated in five kagai (geisha districts) across the city. Each of the districts performs a large-scale dance for the public once a year, and Kamishichiken district's Kitano Odori runs from March 25th to April 7th to usher in the spring. Two performances are held each day, at 13:30 and 16:00, and tickets cost 4,300 yen. For an additional 500 yen guests can enjoy a cup of green tea and a sweet before the play, which also comes with a commemorative plate. Tickets can be purchased online for those with Japanese credit cards, procured through travel agents, or reserved with assistance at the Tourist Information Center in Kyoto Station.
    For more information, please visit the Kitano Odori page on our website:

    Looks like Umechie and Fumiyuki weren't in this performance, must've been their day to perform the tea ceremony. If anyone is curious after the Kitano Odori, Ichitaka (maiko in deep blue kimono) became a geiko a few weeks after. Geiko Ichimomo retired, but she retired to get married! Having stayed up until the very last day she could as a geiko. Ichikoma (maiko in deep purple kimono) retired sometime in June :( and Umehina (maiko in light green kimono) became a senior at the end of July!

    • @Soilsha
      @Soilsha 6 лет назад

      Sure! The Autumn's Odori is very famous and it's called "Gion Odori", celebrated at Gion Higashi's Hanamachi. I think it should be the first week of November. However, know that the tickets for this events are VERY expensive and hard to get.
      Good luck!!!

    • @yriEth

      I think asking your travelling agency or your hotel would be the best bet.

    • @yriEth
      @yriEth 6 лет назад +2

      Actually, from the desctiption: 'Tickets can be purchased online for those with Japanese credit cards, procured through travel agents, or reserved with assistance at the Tourist Information Center in Kyoto Station.' This is for Kitano Odori, but it probably works for other Odori as well.

    • @AThousandTales
      @AThousandTales 6 лет назад +2

      Tickets for the Gion Odori can be purchased at the Tourist Information Center at Kyoto Station. They cost 3500 yen each - 4000 if you want to participate in the tea ceremony before the performance. You purchase a voucher at the Information Center for the specific date and time you want to see the performance. On the day itself, you go to the theater and when the doors open, go inside and exchange your voucher for a ticket.
      I went to see the Odori two years ago and did not have any problem purchasing a voucher for the performance the day after I bought my voucher. The theater at that time still had some vacant seats too.
      Just a warning: they do not have lockers at the theater, so though they might offer to store a large bag for you, it is easier to just bring a small handbag. The seats are smallish and do not have much leg room.

      There haven't been any african american geisha yet, though there have been foreign geisha from other Asian countries, european countries,the united States, and south american countries who practiced in Tokyo. It takes a lot of dedication and discipline to even be allowed to try, as well as the person needing to be fluent in japanese. But it's certainly not impossible if that's something you really want to work towards^^
