There are a few ways to tell a real #maiko or #geisha from someone playing dress up for the day; firstly, they rarely come out during the day and if they do, will be wearing simple kimonos; they'll still have a fairly elaborate hairdo but will wear little or no hair accessories. Real geisha also totter on shoes at least 10cm high and extremely difficult to walk in, tourists are given little padded slipper clogs things. There's loads of other subtle signals but that's a few quick tips to tell a real one from an imposter. #travel #travelgram #travelpics #travelphotography #instatravel #instatravel #instacool #Kyoto #Japan

And as if that wasn't enough excitement for one day, I then met a #maiko (apprentice #geisha). #travel #travelgram #travelpics #travelphotography #instatravel #instapassport #instacool #art #livingart #Kyoto #Japan #nofilter @insidejapantours @british_airways #HighLife500

Maiko are apprentice #geisha, aged between 16 to 20. It takes at least one year of training to become a maiko and then another five years to become a fully-trained geisha. They are considered to be living works of art and charge upwards of 30,000JPY (£200) per hour to entertain at parties and gatherings. #travel #travelgram #travelpics #travelphotography #travelvideo #instatravel #instapassport #instacool #theatre #music #dance #Japan #Kyoto

Just had to upload these as as quick as I could earlier so editing now. But I met a #maiko today! Last time I was here in #Kyoto I thought I had spotted #geisha but it turned out to be Chinese tourists dressed up for the day, much to my disappointment. Today though, my most excellent guide Keiko from @insidejapantours took me to a restaurant called Ganko Sushi that offers a free maiko show a couple of times a month – and you don't even have to eat there afterwards! I am told it's very good though. Anyway, TOP TIP for Kyoto, as arranging a meeting usually costs around £200-£300. Cc @uktraveleditor
