In Kyoto, however, fully-fledged geisha are properly called geiko. Young ladies, usually between the ages of 15 and 20, train for five years to become a geiko. During this period, they are known as maiko. Today, only a few hundred true geishas remain in Kyoto. Meeting one of Kyoto’s geishas was truly a magical and memorable experience. #traveldeeper #yahootravelexplorers #natgeoexpeditions #Japan #geisha #kyoto #leicam240 A post shared by Alex Stoen (@alexstoen) on Dec 27, 2015 at 11:38am PST
