Geisha Makeover Experience

Do you know Koshindo, which is a hot topic on social media right now? Why not try out a maiko experience and take some photos to get a true Kyoto feel?

Hello everyone ☀

Recently, I've been reexamining my own sense of beauty and putting effort into my makeup and hairstyle (*^^*)

I curl my hair with a curling iron every day, but because I don't have much hair and I'm used to it, it takes less than 10 minutes to complete ♡♡

The latest trend in makeup is creating moisturizing under-eye bags♡

Now, let’s move on to the main topic.

I think many people have some kind of social media account these days, but Instagram is probably the most important one right now.

Taking photos or going to places with the purpose of uploading them to Instagram is very popular.

I want to take photos in an Instagram-worthy place

Currently, Instagram users often say things like this:

The best place for that is Koshindo.

In fact, if you search for the hashtag #Koshindo on Instagram, you'll find lots of images like this!

It has been featured on TV and I watch it often too.

It can be said that Koshindo is the smallest place in Japan right now, yet still attracts a lot of people (laughs).

Things are starting to calm down a little bit, but now may be your chance.

Today I would like to introduce you to Koshindo ＼(^o^)／

There are so many tied up monkeys (*^▽^*)

The late-blooming double cherry blossoms were also beautiful.

What is Koshindo?

There are many tied monkeys hanging down, and each one has a wish written on it.

The tied monkey looks like a monkey with its hands and feet tied.

The purpose seems to be to unify one's desires and discipline oneself.

By the way, this tied monkey is handmade.

There are also the three monkeys, "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," which express the wish that no one would see, hear or speak of the evil deeds of humans.

It is said that the worship of monkeys in this way brings good fortune, such as warding off illness and warding off criticism.

It's exactly like the monkeys☆

The Koshindo Hall is also included in the walking course of the GION AYA.

Apparently, it is also included in the outdoor photography plan and the Aya Special plan.

What a great piece of information♡

You can use your own camera, or leave it to us professionals and download it from a CD-R to your phone. It was popular before the boom, but it's now hugely popular.

This colorful feeling is cute, isn't it?

Color choice is also an important factor for Instagrammers.

This kind of photography is also popular nowadays (lol)

If you come to Kyoto, please try changing into a maiko at GION AYA.

How about taking some photos at Koshindo that are a little different from the rest while still joining the trend?

Here's a photo of a maiko☆

This is an indescribable colorful photo of a customer from just three days ago.

The kimono matches her perfectly, but her face is also beautifully painted white.

It gives off a more Kyoto feel (*^^*)

The photo is so lovely with the friendly atmosphere between the two of you.

Why not give it a try?

Oh! By the way, we, Gion Aya,InstagramI am doing it ♡
