Geisha Makeover Experience
Geisha makeover experience at Kyoto GION AYA
After the photo shoot in the room, garden, or outdoors, you can take a stroll around the city of Kyoto together.
We guarantee that an ordinary day will become a special one.
Please choose your favorite pose from the following. (If you want to shoot more than 5 poses, you can add them as an option.)
Duration: Approximately 3 to 3.5 hours
38,500Yen (tax included) / 2 people
Choose between a Geisha or Maiko, change into a kimono undergarment and socks, and start applying makeup. Maiko will give you a cute look, while Geisha will give you a mature look.
For a natural looking half wig, hair length must be at least 5cm. Geisha style wigs and those with short hair will be required to wear a full wig.
All kimonos are made of luxurious pure silk. Please choose your favorite kimono and obi.
You can also choose hairpins decorated with seasonal flowers and motifs. Geisha style hairpins are simple and mature.
For the Maiko experience, you will wear a loose obi (sash) of about 7 meters that is tied by hand. For the Geisha experience, it will be tied in a tight taiko knot.
The shoot begins in the tatami room on the second floor. Please choose the pose you would like to be photographed in. We will photograph you while searching for the angle and gaze that will make you look beautiful as a Geisha or Maiko.
It's time to depart for the outdoor photo shoot. A professional photographer who knows the best places and angles to make the maiko look their best will take you to a special photo spot. Don't worry, our staff will accompany you as an assistant!
After the outdoor photo shoot, you will go for a stroll in a maiko costume. We will teach you the fine details of how to stand and behave in a beautiful manner, so you can enjoy walking around and taking photos freely.
While you remove your makeup and get changed, we will retouch the photos and give them to you in an album.
