10 Performances in Kyoto That You Shouldn't Miss
The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

I enjoyed having a chat with Maiko-san, learning about Japanese very traditional culture, and having special dinner! Joining Koan Hanare must be really amazing time when you visit Kyoto. You can play a traditional party game with Maiko-san as well. It's a really wonderful experience.

"GEAR” is the first non-verbal performance originated in Japan.The world-class performers of mime, breakin', magic trick, and juggle presents a lovely story of a toy named “Doll” transforming a human girl through the various communications with an android named “Roboroid.”This performance is set without any “words,” just being compounded with the action, dance, expression, music, and images satisfying all the senses. And also, this performance is filled with the exciting materials. Stage setting gives an illusion loosing the way in the factory, or feeling like blown off by a gust of wind. And the contemporary technologies like the projection mapping, sparkling full colored LED dresses, and specially customized laser beams with 16million colors present everyone inexperienced impressions. Since started in the April 2014, this performance had a long run of 3000 times and 240,000 audiences.

Kyoto real traditional "GEISHA" performance.
Reviewed By GrahamH387 - Antipolo City, Philippines
Its hard not to stare with open mouth, the girl was absolutely stunningly pretty and immaculately presented in her Kimono, and not a hair on her head out of place. The dance routines, 3 of them, were amazing to observe, the slight but subtle head movements and positioning. We got the opportunity to ask her questions via a translator which seemed to make the whole episode a little more personal. These girls give up a lot we take for granted in our every day lifestyles to pursue a life of tradition.
