[4k video 60fps] Foreign girls looking around at the maiko! Geisha and maiko from Pontocho came to Minamiza one after another to watch a show! Gion, Kyoto, Japan.
Kyoto's Pontocho and Gion areas are very popular with foreign tourists. In particular, many tourists get excited when they see maiko and geisha, fascinated by their unique beauty and traditional costumes.
One day, near Minamiza, a famous Kyoto attraction, maiko began to gather to watch a show. Young foreign tourists noticed them and looked around with shining eyes, enjoying the dreamlike sight. The sight of the maiko with their traditional white makeup and gorgeous hairpins must have become an unforgettable symbol of Japanese culture for them.
With cameras in hand, the women followed the movements of the maiko and took videos on their smartphones, creating a lively scene. However, the maiko responded calmly to the attention and walked with graceful steps towards the Minamiza Theater. Their appearance was as if they were witnessing a moment when modern and past cultures had fused together.
Part of the charm of Kyoto's Gion and Pontocho is that they are places where exchanges between traditional Japanese culture and people visiting from abroad naturally occur. Every time I witness a moment like this, I am reminded of the diversity and charm of culture.
