Geisha Don't Scurry in the Rain

I invited a friend over to see my mother-in-law's neighborhood, Miyagawa-cho, one of the 5 geisha districts in kyoto, but it was a rainy day. I didn't take more than a few pictures, but after he left the evening's geisha assignations got underway, so I captured a bit of the movement as a summer shower started.

those arent geiko or geisha most of those are maiko and its july you can tell by the hairstyles the maiko in the blue kimono raincoat has the katsuyama hairstyle my personal fav. alot of the maiko in this vid are prob 15-17 cuz most sport the wareshinobu hairstyle, i wonder if the geiko in the black raincoat near the end, if she was kogiku, kinda resembled her. anyways, yay!

Is it hard to see/find a geisha/maiko/geiko in Kyoto? More than anything I would LOVE to see one when I go to Japan in April!! Though I've heard they can be difficult to find? Where should I go to see them?
