IN HARAJUKU THERE IS A PLACE TO EXPLORE YOUR INNER DREAMS OF BECOMING A MAIKO, GEISHA OR OIRAN.
It's called Studio Katsura. This is basically a slide show but I will never forget this experience. I felt like a princess although I do have to say that I don't know that I would want to do it all the time. The Kimono was very tight and a little difficult to walk in. If you ever make it down to Tokyo this is a must do.

  • this is why you barely see any real maikos in kyoto :P mostly tourists

  • That is the most ridiculous statement. You don't leave looking like one and that's like saying there aren't many showgirl in Vegas cause so many people can dress up like one!

  • Can the people that did your makeup speak english?

  • There english was a bit broken and some weren't bad at all but at that point I learned a bit of japanese.

  • People on youtube totally abuses the thumbs up/down system. But I'll give you that, only idiots think that geisha/maiko are prostitutes. They are so far from that.

  • Why the hell did I get -6 for that comment? It wasn't directed to the poster of the video. It was directed towards some retard who thought geiko are sexual entertainers. -palmface-

  • @per0014 It depends from hensin studio to another but you easily spend 100 USD for it or more

  • O my your stunning, the colors look fantastic on you and the poses were great!

  • love this song 

  • uhh Just so you know Oiran is a prostitute. Geisha and Maiko aren't... but they get mixed up a lot because Oiran dress as Geisha. I didnt think they would offer Oiran because its an insult to be considered one... ya know... cause their prostitutes...

    Just letting everyone know...

  • @cheshercat100 I don't know how much it cost, but I know that they will not let you keep the kimono, obi or any other garments.... They cost quite a lot of money
