Overview
Originally, it was thought that the god descended on the dancing miko by expressing itself in the form of an oracle. Thus, the miko became one with the god and therefore with nature. At here, you can meet a real shrine maiden (miko) and participate in a ceremonial dance (mikomai) class. The miko sensei will teaches you the steps of traditional ceremonial dance “Toyosakamai”. Before having a traditional ceremonial dance lesson, the sensei will have a small lecture about origins and history of the shrine maiden. During the experience, you can take photos and videos while wearing a shrine maiden costume. We will deliver valuable time that can only be experienced in Japan to tourists visiting Japan.

What To Expect
Would you like to tour around Asakusa with a miko (shrine maiden) and learn about Asakusa's history and explore the hidden spots.
You can meet a real miko and participate in a ceremonial dance class.
Originally, it was thought that the god descended on the dancing miko by expressing itself in the form of an oracle.
Gods and nature are an essential bond of the Shintō religion and the miko plays an essential role in the Japanese tradition.
Mikomai contains a lot of "feelings of reverence for God" and "beautiful manners" that have been cherished by Japanese people since ancient times.
It will be an opportunity for both Japanese and foreigners to come into contact with the beautiful culture of Japan and learn about the spirituality that the Japanese have cherished.
