Why You Should Visit

Kotobuki-kai is the autumn dance performance by the geiko and maiko of Kamishichiken, the geisha district just east of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. It is held for seven days from 12 November at the Kamishichiken Kaburenjo theatre, with one show a day at 16:00. The 75th edition in 2026 features five pieces, including the nagauta dances "Takarabune", "Tabi" and "Boshibari". A fine way to see geisha dance in autumn, and easy to pair with the autumn leaves at Kitano Tenmangu.
