Another famous hanamachi is <strong>Pontocho<\/strong> (\u5148\u6597\u753a), a narrow lantern-lit alley running between the Kamo River and Kawaramachi Street. We think it is one of the most atmospheric corners of the city and well worth a visit whenever you are in Kyoto. You will find long-established restaurants and bars alongside the event space where the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.kamogawa-odori.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kamogawa Odori<\/a> is held each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Geiko? What is a Maiko?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geiko<\/strong> is the Kyoto term for what is commonly referred to as a geisha. While the word &#8220;geisha&#8221; is more widely recognized internationally, in Kyoto, &#8220;<strong>geiko<\/strong>&#8221; is the correct and preferred term. A geiko is a professional entertainer who has completed her apprenticeship and mastered the traditional performing arts. <br>A <strong>maiko<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a woman (usually between the ages of 15 and 20) in the apprenticeship period of training to become a geiko. During this time, she studies traditional Japanese singing, dance, shamisen, and the art of hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Every May, Pontocho holds its annual event: <br>the <strong>Kamogawa Odori<\/strong> (\u9d28\u5ddd\u3092\u3069\u308a).<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This performance has been running since 1872, which means over 150 years of tradition. It is one of the few occasions where the general public can watch geiko and maiko perform on stage in a theater setting. These are artists who dedicate years to refining their craft in singing, dance, and shamisen. If you are fortunate enough to be in Kyoto during this time, it is an experience well worth making time for.<br>As performances tend to fill up quickly, particularly on weekends, we recommend booking ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/kyoto\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_646674209-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"A traditional maiko performer\" class=\"wp-image-1273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/kyoto\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_646674209-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/kyoto\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_646674209-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/kyoto\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_646674209-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/kyoto\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_646674209-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/kyoto\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_646674209-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/kyoto\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AdobeStock_646674209-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span>A traditional maiko performer<\/span> \u00a9 sand555 | Adobe Stock Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 Performance Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dates<\/strong><\/td><td>May 5 (Tuesday\/National Holiday) \u2013 May 22 (Friday)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Show times<\/strong><\/td><td>12:30 \/ 14:20 \/ 16:10 (3 performances daily)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Venue<\/strong><\/td><td>Pontocho Kaburenjo Theater  (\u5148\u6597\u753a\u6b4c\u821e\u7df4\u5834)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting There from THE MACHIYA EBISUYA Hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>By subway:<\/strong> Take the Karasuma Line from <strong>Shijo Station<\/strong> to <strong>Karasuma-Oike<\/strong>, transfer to the Tozai Line, and alight at Kyoto-Shiyakusho-mae.
