The Festival of Japan EXTRA - The best of Japan here in the UK
We've been lucky enough to havs known Kyoto geiko Miehina since 2005. she's grown from an apprentice into one of Kyotos most popular and well loved geisha.
 
On our tours we give you the opportunity to meet this amazing geisha and see first hand how accomplished she is at both shamisen and dancing. Join us in a private party. No other guests, just our group.
 
Meeting geisha is not as simple as turning up in Kyoto and going to the geisha districts. Certainly you will see them hurrying past you in the street on the way to engagements. They are busy ladies and will not stop to have their photographs taken with you, they are on a tight schedule. We can organise a party to take part during your trip to Japan with us.
 
These parties can also be arranged should you be visiting independently.
 
To whet your appetite here is a short video, plus some private pictures of time spent with Miehina and now ex geisha Fukuwaka
