This annual June performance sees the geiko (geisha) and maiko (apprentice geisha) from Kyoto’s five hanamachi (geisha districts) come together on one stage. In addition to being a blockbuster show, it’s an opportunity to see the different dancce styles from each district all at once.
Miyako no Nigiwai is held at Minamiza, which is better known as Kyoto’s kabuki theater.
