And last you can change into your favorite gorgeous kimono. You can then select a Japanese hair ornament that matches your style.

 
Photography at the Tsuboniwa courtyard: 
In the authentic Tsuboniwa in Kyo-Machiya, water-filled bamboo-tubes and garden lanterns have been arranged and the beautiful backgrounds of the four seasons make the appearance of the maiko shine more.&nbsp; 
In the Tsuboniwa, the photographer, who knows the essence of the beauty of maiko, will teach you how to pose like a maiko and will take pictures of your maiko appearance from the best angles. The garden will become a private space with only one-two people during photography. You can also take pictures by yourself for 10 minutes in the garden or in front of the store using your smartphone or camera.&nbsp;

TRIVIA

The job of a maiko is to entertain guests with traditional arts such as singing, dancing, playing the shamisen, etc. in the Go-Nagai (5 geisha quarters) in Kyoto. It is the training period of a geiko (a geisha in Kyoto), and after 5 years of training as a maiko, she can turn into a geiko. Originally, in the Edo period, there was a teahouse in Higashiyama where the Yasaka Shrine is. Women who worked at the teahouse sang songs and performed for the visitors to the temples and shrines and people traveling on the road. This is the origin of the geiko/maiko. By the strict tradition of the geisha world around Gion, they are still working.&nbsp; But most of the maiko you will see on the street maybe tourists dressed up. Even the locals rarely see maiko, so if you see one you are really lucky. Besides Kyoto, there are also other places where women entertain their guests but the name geiko or maiko is only used in Kyoto.

&nbsp;

NEARBY AREA INTRODUCTION

The shrine in the Higashiyama area is famous for holding the Gion Festival. It is the headquarter of Yasaka Shrines and the affiliated 2,300 shrines all over Japan that enshrine the Shinto god,&nbsp; Susanoo-no-Mikoto. The shrine is also called [Gion san] endearingly. They say it was founded in 656 by Irish, the messenger from Goguryeo, Korea. The number of worshipers during the first 3 days of the New Year exceeds 1 million, second in Kyoto after Fushimi Inari Shrine. You can also visit the shrine at night. Here you find the main building built in Gion style (covering the main hall and the hall of worship with one roof).&nbsp; It houses the Utsukushi-gozen-sha Shrine with natural spring water that will make your face and heart pretty and also the Okuninushi-sha Shrine, the gods of marriage.
