Why You Should Visit

Mizue-kai is the autumn dance performance by the geiko and maiko of Miyagawacho, the geisha district just east of the Kamo River. It runs for four days from 8 October at the Miyagawacho Kaburenjo Theatre (Mitsuwa-za), with one show at 16:00 on weekdays and two shows, at 13:00 and 16:00, at the weekend. The programme centres on classical pieces in the nagauta, kiyomoto, tokiwazu and jiuta styles, closing with the ensemble dance "Miyagawa Kouta". Part of the programme changes by day. Separate from the spring Kyo Odori, it is a quieter way to see classical geisha dance.
