Kamishichiken, the oldest of Kyoto's five kagai - Geiko (Geisha) & Maiko districts, heralds the arrival of spring with its annual dance performances. It is said that spring in Kyoto begins with the dances of the Geiko (Geisha) and Maiko of Kamishichiken. The performances feature not only esteemed traditional dance but also large-scale dance dramas that weave contemporary trends and humor, celebrating spring in all its grandeur. "Kitano Odori" has been performed by Geiko(Geisha) and Maiko for over 70 years! The performance is only offered 14 days from 3/20/2025 to 4/2/2025! Here, one can savor matcha (green tea) and sweets while enjoying a tea ceremony performed by Geiko(Geisha) and Maiko, and take home a small ceramic plate as a cherished memento. Enjoy beautifully choreographed dance performance and the atmosphere!
