Geisha Makeover and Photoshoot - Kyoto- November 2023 (4K)

Come take and in-depth look at what goes into looking like a geisha! I went to AYA Maiko & Geisha Makeover in Gion, Kyoto, and had the most amazing time! I learned all about Geisha and had a makeup, hair, and kimono makeover! Afterwords I got to have a photoshoot as well as free time. It was the best day!

[@tylerthomas5414]

Thank you! I think the makeup turned out really good.

[@foteini-6008]

You look so much like Yvonne Strahovski. So pretty

[@tylerthomas5414]

What a nice thing to say! I think she's beautiful too

[@panapinky]

The background behind geisha makeup is so interesting! You look so pretty too! 😊

[@tylerthomas5414]

This was a really interesting experience. You never really know how they do things until you experience it first hand!

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

It’s actually Geika not Geisha. The latter isn’t even a Japanese word.

[@tylerthomas5414]

@@kilipaki87oritahiti true, but the people doing the tour tend to use the word “geisha” to describe the whole concept when they speak English. When they want to be specific, they’d use Geiko or Maiko, which is what I think you’re referring to.

Would love to do this too❤❤❤❤

[@tylerthomas5414]

You should!

This is a Maiko not a Geiko/Geisha! Maiko are Geiko in training :)

[@itsmerosy]

You look super super pretty! I so want to do this experience too this year! But this is a Maiko make over, not a Geisha, they look much different from Maiko :) for example, maiko wear long sleeves, long obi, different hairstyle, many hair ornaments, all elements Geisha do not wear

Hey! Since tourists are banned from Gion are people still allowed to do this?

[@tylerthomas5414]

Yes! This studio is not on the historic geisha street and you’d still be allowed to go. Only a very limited part of Gion is off limits to tourists.

[@robbypolter6689]

The woman can do whatever she wants, she will never become or be a real Geiko (Geisha). She wears it like a disguise, but she will never know what it really means to be a geisha. She is and a foreigner, regardless of whether she grew up in Japan or not.

[@nanospace2994]

Lol, it's rather obvious... 😂 She is just having fun. No one was harmed in the process. Place is making money, tourist can see how it feels, so whats wrong with that? Its like having opportunity to wear space suit - it won't make you an actual astronaut but the experience is unique.

[@tylerthomas5414]

@@nanospace2994 Glad to hear some people have a bit of common sense lol

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Where did you get that she is trying to be a real Geiko? You’re not even Nihonji yet you police other cultures?🤡

[@bekagoodfellow6882]

You do know that she's doing this for an experience right ? Not a disguise or trying to become a geisha.

芸者と舞妓の違いって日本人でもよくわかってない人は多いかも、 たとえ間違えちゃってても、彼女が日本の文化に興味を持ってくれて、体験して、楽しんでくれたのならとても嬉しい 芸者と舞妓について詳しい人がいるのもとても嬉しい、 とりあえず僕らは嬉しい！
