Many tourists are attracted to maiko and geisha but visiting Hanamachi areas in Kyoto is a bit challenging.
That being said, if you visit the Maiko Theater, which is introduced in the video, you'll still be able to experience everything, such as watching maiko dance, tea-serving, talking with maiko and taking photos with maiko.

There are several plans to choose from.
Popular plans include a plan with which you can enjoy matcha and sweets served by maiko, introduced from 1:23, a plan with which you can watch a dance, introduced from 0:47, and a plan which you can enjoy tempura and sake.
There are also plans with which you can receive a towel and Senjafuda as souvenirs.
Maiko Theater is reservation-only and it's possible to reserve the whole theater as well.

An English guide is available as well, so tourists from abroad can enjoy it too. There is a food menu that offers Kyoto cuisine as well.
