Why GION AYA

We have received comments from our customers such as "I'm glad I came to Kyoto" and "I'm really glad I came to GION AYA."
It would be our greatest pleasure if you could come back to Kyoto and GION AYA.

  1. Key points of the Geisha experience

    Here, GION AYA summarizes some points to keep in mind when experiencing being a maiko.
    Please feel free to use this as a reference.
    Of course, if you have any questions, please contact us via LINE at any time.

  2. What Motivated to Visit

    You can enjoy the maiko experience by yourself, or make memories with your friends and family.
    For wedding anniversaries, couple formation anniversaries, Shichi-Go-San ceremonies, and half-coming-of-age ceremonies,
    We welcome our customers to our store for a moment in their lives.

  3. Geisha and Maiko Makeup

    GION AYA's commitment to maiko makeup will make you feel clearly "different."
    We instantly capture the customer's face, while checking the balance of the facial features.
    Techniques are used to create the golden ratio that brings out the cuteness and beauty.

  4. Geisha and Maiko wig

    At GION AYA, we use a "half wig" to wrap and set the customer's front and side hair.
    Japanese makeup that matches the balance of your face and the correct half-wig technique
    This is the determining factor for the quality of the maiko, who are known to be of high quality.

  5. Gorgeous kimono

    The kimonos for the GION AYA Maiko and Geiko Experience are made by a long-established Kyoto kimono store, and are mainly made with elegant classical patterns, with patterns that look great when seen standing, sitting, and from behind.
    We have carefully selected gorgeous "ohikiri" kimonos that look great in photos.

  6. Hand-tied dressing

    When Geisha and Maiko wear kimonos, it brings out their feminine curves.
    The position of the obi, its width, length, how the hem is attached, the angle of the collar, etc.
    We carefully dress our customers according to their image, paying close attention to detail.

  7. Photo shoot of the Geisha and Maiko

    We have a studio and garden that was renovated from a real teahouse, and even outdoor shoots.
    A photographer who is familiar with the postures and gestures of Geisha and Maiko,
    We will carefully pose and take photos to capture the best moment.

  8. Skin smoothing for portrait

    We correct the brightness and darkness caused by the amount of sunlight, the condition of your skin, etc.
    We aim to bring out the beauty of our customers who have become maiko.
    We hope that your memories of your maiko experience in Kyoto will be even more enjoyable.

  9. GION AYA Hospitality

    "I'm glad I came to Kyoto" "I'm really glad I came to GION AYA"
    It is our greatest joy to hear from our customers.
