Beautiful Kyoto: Being a Maiko (featuring Fukunae-san)

Though a lot of what goes on in Kyoto's geisha districts takes place in private teahouses and behind gilded screens, it's no secret that maiko (geisha apprentices) lead strict and challenging lifestyles in the pursuit of their art.

Last year the Kyoto Fan (Discover Kyoto) team had the privilege of interviewing one of Miyagawa-chō's hard working maiko, Fukunae-san, to see what kind of training and preparation she goes through in order to one day become a top class geisha (or geiko, as they are called in Kyoto). Follow along as Fukunae-san takes us through an average day in her life, including music study, hair and make-up, dressing, and entertaining in the evenings. We hope you too will one day have a chance to experience this amazing Kyoto tradition.

To see more of what Kyoto has to offer, check out our website:

Real Geisha Real Women (2009)–Documentary–Complete Film, English Subtitles

Real Geisha Real Women is a documentary by Peter MacIntosh about the lives of several women in Kyoto, Japan of various generations who are, or have been, maiko and geiko (the Kyoto terms for geisha).

Their stories are told in their own words as a series of vignettes without the use of a narrator. Rare footage of their journeys outside of Kyoto includes a hometown visit, a trip to Tokyo, as well as travels abroad.

Peter Macintosh has lived in Kyoto, Japan, among the geisha community for over three decades. He has worked as a liaison and coordinator on geisha-related documentaries, including productions for BBC, BNN, Swiss Television, National Geographic, A&E, and many more. He also worked with the location scouting team for Hollywood's Memoirs of a Geisha.

Japan and the mystery of the Geisha

Japan: land of technology, light, pulsating energy.
The nation's race towards the future never stops. This country's technology is one of the most advanced in the world, its architecture one of the most envied, and its communication the most enterprising.
One might imagine that microchips, nanotechnolgy, robots, and ultra dynamic, anti-seismic architecture have cancelled out its centuries-old history, its beliefs and traditions. But it has not.
This is a world caught up in the frenetic quest for the new, but also deliberately connected to its past. Made up of people who love their history and want to hand it down and protect it from the encroaching future
This ever-changing, mutating world still finds space for the geisha, those enigmatic custodians of beauty with their alabaster skin and red lips, who still follow the ancient codes of Japanese tradition.
In the West, the geisha is generally seen as little more than a high-class prostitute. This is a misunderstanding. She is the incarnation of one of the many souls of Japan. She is a sophisticated woman, who loves her clients -- without making love to them. For an entire night, she will help them escape their high-tech reality and everyday life, their very existence.
For the very first time, the cameras are allowed into this realm of flowers and weeping willows, where the ancient, enigmatic and fascinating game of the geisha still goes on.

Welcoming Geisha at Portland Japanese Garden

In September 2019, Portland Japanese Garden welcomed three authentic geisha - Miehina, Kanako, and Konami - from Kyoto for one day only. Highly trained and skilled as artists and entertainers, geisha transmit the knowledge and beauty of traditional Japanese arts such as dance, music, and poetry to modern audiences. During this rare event, Garden guests had the opportunity to mingle with the geisha, and a lucky few Photography Members took part in a photo shoot in three scenic Garden spaces. The day culminated in an evening discussion of the history and culture of geisha (led by geisha expert Peter MacIntosh and Garden CEO Steve Bloom), paired with a demonstration of traditional dance and music. This dazzling cultural experience was captured by cinematographer Quincy Woo.

Portland Japanese Garden is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, nestled in the hills of Portland, Oregon’s iconic Washington Park. It is a tranquil, urban oasis and a treasured space to experience peace through connections to art, nature, and one another. Through rich and unique programming, Portland Japanese Garden seeks to engage a diverse audience, stimulate cross-cultural conversations and allow people to immerse themselves in a culture different from their own.

Meet Maiko in Kyoto | Mom is a former maiko

This video is a vlog of a trip to Kyoto by a Japanese family living in Tokyo. Today's video is kind of special. Because I'm taking you back to my home, where I spent time as a maiko geiko. I think that not many people, no matter how many trips they have taken to Japan, have experienced this culture. I have learned many important things in my life in this town called Gion. It is a place that always reminds me of my beginnings.
I can't post info on the maiko place, but the link to the beautiful Ryokan where we stayed is below. I couldn't find their website in English, so here is a link to a blog that someone wrote about it in detail. Please check it out!

The Beauty of Geisha in Kyoto (Japan)

Meeting one of Kyoto’s Geisha is a magical and memorable experience.
They say that you are lucky if you can spot a Geisha in Japan since they are almost a disappearing tradition. Well, tonight we have been lucky enough to spot seven between Maiko and Geiko on their way to work.
I'm so impressed how fast and gorgeous they are!

What’s the difference between a Maiko and a Geiko?
Maiko wear colorful kimono and appear with their own hair worn up with a variety of extravagant hairpins, while geiko wear plainer kimono and appear wearing relatively unadorned wigs. Both maiko and geiko entertain guests and they often appear together at various functions.
(In the video three Maiko and three Geiko)

Tips to spot a real Geisha in Japan: take a walk in Hanamikoji Dori, Gion area between 6 and 6:30pm.
What better way to end your day than enjoying a nice dinner at one of the many traditional restaurants in the area. Good Luck!
