Exclusive Experience Location
The Maiko experience program takes place on an authentic Noh stage (inside Kurochiku Momochitaru-kan), a rare venue in Kyoto city.
Although this is a different location from the meeting point, our staff will guide you there, so please don't worry. Enjoy an elegant moment in the solemn atmosphere of the Noh stage.
Watch the Maiko's elegant Otemae (tea preparation) and enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets. Experience the depth of Japanese culture through this serene moment.
Watch the Maiko's graceful dance against the solemn backdrop of the Noh stage. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a truly special setting that you won't find anywhere else.
Participate in a Q&A session where you can ask the Maiko questions directly, and experience Ozashiki Asobi (traditional parlor games) from Kyoto.
You will have time to interact closely with the Maiko and take a commemorative photo with her.
At the end of the program, the Maiko will present you with a Senjafuda (a personalized paper slip). A special Japanese souvenir is also included.
