Kyoto, 2-Hour Maiko Makeover and Photo Shoot


Kyoto Kimono Rental Yumeyakata


Dress like a real maiko, an apprentice geiko, in Kyoto. Have your hair styled with a wig and get traditional makeup done, and be photographed in a studio to capture this unique experience.


Kyoto



On this special 2-hour activity, learn about the life and art of the maiko, or apprentice geiko. Maiko are female performing artists who wear traditional makeup, hairstyles and costumes. They work in the Gion area and perform various Japanese arts such as classical music, dance and games. The maiko are apprentices and are between 15 and 20 years old. You don’t have to be in this age range to participate in the Yumeyakata Maiko Makeover project, however! The professional staff will apply you the Maiko makeup, using a wig, and dress you extravagantly to look like the real thing. They'll also show you the proper maiko poses for beautiful pictures. The package includes studio photography, so you’ll have souvenir photos to show your family and friends. Going outdoor with the Maiko style is not allowed.
