Welcome to Hakata Maiko Chaya “Wanoka-no-Omote,” located in the historic Kawabata Shopping Arcade in Hakata.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our staff member, Sumire, has officially made her debut as a Maiko! With her fresh, innocent charm and earnest dedication to mastering traditional Japanese performing arts and hospitality, she brings a wonderful new energy to our venue.

Here at “Wanoka-no-Omote,” you can immerse yourself in authentic cultural experiences all day long—from our morning hot pot (Asanabe) and daytime tea ceremony experience where you can whisk your own matcha, to our cozy cafe and elegant evening dining accompanied by beautiful traditions.

Please come and support Sumire as she takes her very first steps as a Maiko!

We will be sharing her journey and daily updates on our official Instagram (@hakata_maiko). Please follow us to stay connected and see her grow. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
