Granvista Hotel & Resort Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Yukio Arai), which operates Hotel Intergate Kyoto Shijo Shinmachi (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, Manager: Yoshinori Endo), will hold the event "Maiko-san and Japanese Candlelight ~Experience Kyoto's Traditional Culture~" once a month, where guests can enjoy Maiko dances and talk shows. The schedule for April 2026 to March 2027 has now been decided and announced.

Kyoto, one of Japan's leading tourist cities, attracts many tourists from both domestic and international sources. In recent years, tourism has expanded beyond sightseeing of famous historical sites to "experiential tourism," where visitors can actually experience the culture and lifestyle unique to the region.

This event is a popular approximately one-hour program that condenses the essence of Kyoto's proud traditional industries. You can enjoy Maiko performances presented in the fantastical light of Japanese candles, a talk show about the attire related to Kyoto City-designated traditional industries, admired *Oishiki* (traditional entertainment games), and a photo session with the Maiko. Furthermore, participants in this event will receive one original "Ofuki" (smartphone cleaner) from Intergate Hotels, made with Kyoto Yuzen hand-dyed silk. Please take this opportunity to experience a moment of touching the beauty of Kyoto's traditional industries and the depth of its inherited culture. *Note: In Kyoto City, based on the Kyoto City Traditional Industry Revitalization Promotion Ordinance, 74 items have been designated as Kyoto City Traditional Industry Products upon the recommendation of the Kyoto City Traditional Industry Revitalization Promotion Council. In this traditional industry and cultural experience, 'various accessories worn by Maiko such as Nishijin-ori and Kyo-Yuzen' and 'Japanese candles' are designated Kyoto City Traditional Industry Products.*
