Meeting a Geisha’s or Maiko/Geiko, as they are called in Kyoto, is one of the most mesmerizing experiences one can have in Japan. It embodies everything we imagine Japan is and gives a unique look into a culture that still holds so much mystery.
So join me as I am attending a special Geiko dinner and show in the heart of Kyoto. Guided through the afternoon/evening by well-known Geisha expert Peter McIntosh, you will get a glimpse into what such an event is like. Watch Geiko “Miehina” perform some beautiful dances and show her personality as she interacts with us afterwards.
A truly incredible experience! Something that should definitely be on your itinerary should you have the chance to travel to Japan. Giving you access to a hidden world that is still a big part of Japanese culture and will leave a lasting impression on you. I promise.

Finally catching up. That was lovely, I was mesmerized by her hand movements and precision!
I wish her dance was with the original music
I believe the geiko here is Miehina-san. She is so beautiful! It's so awesome that you got to meet her and watch her perform!
Haha so cute how happy you looked in the intro!! Also wondering, do u know anything about the type of clothing the girl who showed u the way in is wearing? To me it looked like the outfit Chihiro in Spirited Away wore when working in the bathhouse.. I never saw anyone wearing that while I was in Japan!
hahaha your bow counter, make sure to include that again
Nice video, thank you. I wanted to go to Japan (Kyoto) in 2020 and now this coming spring but because of Wuhan bio virus, not possible. 🙁
That’s awesome that you saw Miehina san! She’s so talented

Bucket list:
Meet a Geisha ✔️
I was privileged to be Made into a Geisha " at Ismo. White face, beautiful Kimono and even a " thank you gift! Sponsored by Shesado!"!!:)
Um, I got chills, she's very good!
I think that Miehina is the best geiko in the world actually. Love her
This is literally my dream. I'm still 14, but I hope to learn Japanese soon, and make enough money in the future to have a private dinner with my friends and a geisha, I just love geisha culture so much
Delightful. Thanks
She was like a robot-doll. Pretty~ ♥️
Your happiness and excitement is so contagious 🥰 I was glad for the opportunity to visit this ochaya with you ! Thanks 😊
This is Japanese heritage culture, I really do enjoy the shamisen, and the performance across all geisha, and mako. It’s interesting, the complete turn around of what people think of geishas, I’d say this performance is more enjoyable.
宮川町の 美恵雛さんや!! 彼女の芸妓
姿は 本当に絵になります。
Miehina is a fan favorite. Everyone loves her friendly, engaging personality and sense of humor. I'm looking forward to meeting her one day.
とても有名な芸妓の美恵雛さん 踊りがとても綺麗です🥰Mie Hina, a very famous geisha, has a very beautiful dance
Awww! Miehina! Her first dance was "Uji-wa" which is short but one of my favourite!
Like this music more than the original one 😅
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Miehina is so lovely! My fav
What a stunning cultural icon
I just never understand these I love them so much but it all looks and sounds the same.
