Located at a shrine which, alas, does not exist in English on Google Maps, this is a very small local festival but has plenty of geiko and maiko (Kyoto’s geisha).
What happens?
Taking place in early-to-mid May, the festival begins on the evening of the first night (May 16 in 2024), with festivities running from around 6 p.m. to until 10 p.m., including a chance to see the geisha entertaining and playing games.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Mid
