Traditional events (Kyoto city)

These performances were started in 1994 in commemoration of the 1,200th anniversary of the establishment of the Heian Capital at Kyoto. They consist of wonderful traditional dances of Kyoto, preserved and continued through the ages. They are performed jointly at (by) the so-called "Five Hanamachi of Kyoto", instantly (1) Gion Kobu, (2) Ponto-cho, (3) Miyagawa-cho, (4) Gion Higashi and (5) Kamishichiken. The combination of the refined dances of the Hanamachi and the maiko dancers gathered together under one roof make for a colorful stage spectacle.
