Kyoto Geisha Show & Experience GION MAIKOYA

Performing arts theater

👍👍 Amazing experience! From start to finish our Geisha Tea Ceremony was so relaxed, informative and fun. Nana showed us gracious Japanese hospitality. It was an immersion - From gorgeous hairstyling with flowers, to expert and creative kimono dressing, and a wonderful geisha interaction. We then w...

GEAR /Non-Verbal theatre

Performing arts theater

👍👍 Gear was great! We made a good choice by going in the morning and there was a same day discount. Go in the morning and get the tickets! Went for lunch nearby then went for the show. It's really good entertainment and good special effects! Refer to my pictures for details!

The Kongo Noh Theatre

Performing arts theater

👍 It was my first time watching Noh Kyogen, but since it was Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, I was familiar with the three-toed character, and I enjoyed watching it, wondering how that scene would turn out in Kyogen. It's not very big, so I think it's easy to see no matter where you sit. However, it w...

Theatre E9 Kyoto

Performing arts theater

👍👍 「ゴジゲン」さんの舞台を観たくて、初めて行きました！車で行ったので近くのコインパーキングに停めて行きましたが、パーキングから向かう途中、本当にあってるのかな…とちょっと不安になりました。 5分ほどいくと、川沿いにおしゃれな建物とゴジゲンののぼりがみえてひと安心☺️ 新しくきれいな施設で、こじんまりとし...

Miyako Odori

Performing arts theater

😐 Dancing is beautiful, but do not pay for the "Tea Ceremony", which is not a ceremony but a crowded, cattle-like procession of several hundred tourists, who are quickly sat down, given tea and a sweet in front of a Maiko and Geiko who only stare into space. Tea is pre-prepared and is served on cafete...

Kyoto Concert Hall

Concert hall

Concert complex for mainly classical music in a chic space with performance halls of varying size.

Kawamura Noh Theater

Performing arts theater

👍👍 Participated in the “Interesting Nohgaku Course”. He provides easy-to-understand explanations of Noh, which you may find difficult, and provides interesting explanations from the basics that you may not be able to listen to anymore. The teacher is a good talker and sometimes laughs, making this a fu...

Kyoto Theater

Performing arts theater

👍👍 It's easy to find when you exit the Kyoto Station central ticket gate and turn right to find the Kyoto Theater gate entrance. The staff members are also polite. The inside of the venue is about the size of a movie theater. This time I was in the back row of the first floor seats, but I had a good vi...

Gion Kōbu Kaburenjō

Event venue

😠 It was too much touristic. Almost 95% are western foreigners, quite a lot of them don’t really know the show. I don’t know what actually attracts them there. 6000 Yen for 1 hour mix show. Quality was just so so. I only like the section with Geisha. No photo was allowed. What‘s a pity

Kyoto Art Theater (Shunjuza / studio21)

Performing arts theater

👍 The distance to the entrance of the theater is long. There is an elevator, but it's long. It can also be used for Kabuki hanamichi, and red lanterns are lined up on the eaves of the seats (chair seats). Small theater. It is easy to get a sense of unity with the stage. It is difficult to be far from...

Kyoto Art Center

Performing arts theater

Contemporary art exhibitions, dance performances & workshops in a repurposed elementary school.

Kyoto Prefectural Citizens’ Hall ALTI (Art Live Theater International)

Concert hall

👍 Although it is a small hall with 560 seats, you can feel the warmth of the wood and the acoustics are quite good. Above all, I am grateful that the slope is so firm that the person in front of me doesn't have to cover his head and can watch without stress. The view of the beautiful Japanese garden i...

DX Tohji

Performing arts theater

👍👍 I'm female. There were also a few female customers (individual core fans) here as well. I came to Kyoto for sightseeing and saw the strip for the first time in a while since the coronavirus outbreak. There are a lot of older people who go to the strip in any place, so it's important not to infect pe...
