Kyoto Trip Overview
Kyoto is famed for its shrines and temples, which are full of countless unique stories that will astonish you, making you fall in love with and connect yourself to their ancient history. I am deeply fascinated by the living traditions called Geisha or Geiko hidden behind the sliding doors of Kagai(花街). The mysterious world of Geisha can seem exclusive and challenging to discover, so on my experience we will take tea break, talking with Maiko, Geisha apprentice and I will reveal the entertainers who adhere to this traditional lifestyle, their history, rituals, and nuances of the art-form.

･Meet up at the old Kyo-Machiya Cafe called Roji-Usagi. We chartered the entire cafe for the experience and would like you not only seeing Geisha but also relaxing in the cozy Kyoto townhouse.
