在舞台或是宴會時跳舞或是展現日本古典藝能，是非常傳統的女性表演者「藝妓」的學徒。

舞技是為了成為藝妓必須從10歲開始花費5年的修行。
白天時需要去古典藝能(像要跳舞，彈琴以及茶道等等)的學校，晚上則是要在舞台或是宴會的地方表演。

舞技和藝妓是不一樣的，
需要穿著有高度的木屐，和服則是色彩繽紛的圖案振袖，長帶子，
以及穿著帶有可愛華麗的髮飾做裝飾。

雖然日本國內有舞技，但是京都的舞技則是最多的，而且在京都市內有舞技的紅燈區就有五個。
如果幸運的話，在路上也有可能可以看到舞技喲!!

這個行程會先到日本傳統的餐廳一邊享用和食一邊也可以見到舞技，是一個非常棒的行程喔。

地點是在京都最有人氣的「祇園」，從傍晚6點為期2個小時的行程。
英語翻譯的工作人員會在一旁解說關於舞技的事情，而舞技則會到你面前跳舞。

在這之後，舞技會到各個桌位與大家有一段愉快的談話時間，並且也可以跟舞技拍照留存紀念喔。
因為有英語翻譯的工作人員在旁協助，所以有任何好奇的都可以聽到喲!!

最後，你可以體驗與舞技或是藝妓特有的「與藝妓一起玩樂/在宴席一起玩樂」的活動。
我們全體員工希望去參與此活動的所有人都能有非常愉快的時光。

這絕對會是在日本京都美好的夜晚!所以請不要錯過一定要體驗看看!!
