Geiko performances
Don’t miss a rare opportunity to enjoy a brilliant performance of geiko, a skilled entertainer with the spirit of hospitality. Trained for many years in Japanese traditional arts, geiko is said to be a symbol of Kyoto culture. After playing shamisen (traditional musical instrument), geiko will tell a few anecdotes about her garments (kimono, obi sash, tabi socks, etc.) in a charming Kyoto dialect. All items of geiko’s clothing are gems of Kyoto traditional crafts.
