Geisha Ozashiki Asobi
Authentic Geisha Experience in Tokyo, Not Just Kyoto
Tokyo's six geisha districts, known as the 'Tokyo Rokkagai,' include Kagurazaka, Shimbashi, Akasaka, Yoshicho, Asakusa, and Mukojima.
The Kagurazaka district, established in the late Edo period, dates back to 1788. It is renowned as the only geisha district that was spared during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Along with Akasaka, Kagurazaka remains a favorite haunt for politicians and business magnates, who often visit incognito to this day.
The Art of Kagurazaka Geisha
Geisha at the luxury ryotei, "Yukimoto"
"Yukimoto" is a genuine top-class ryotei frequented by dignitaries from the political and financial worlds.
Founded in 1948, Yukimoto is located in Hyogo Yokocho, a picturesque alley that epitomizes the charm of Kagurazaka. Directly across from Yukimoto is the inn "Wakana," where many authors have written their masterpieces. The cobblestone pathway of Hyogo Yokocho, together with Yukimoto and Wakana, creates a quintessential Kagurazaka scene, often featured on the covers of numerous magazines and books.
Normally, a Ryotei ozashiki (geisha banquet) involves a full-course meal over two hours, during which guests enjoy "Ozashiki Asobi" (geisha performances of dance, song, shamisen, and game). However, this new tour plan allows you to enjoy only "Ozashiki Asobi" with geisha before the banquet, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
This tour is private, and children are welcome to participate.
"Yukimoto" welcomes children, and the Kagurazaka Geisha are skilled at entertaining foreign children with games and activities. Some foreign children are so touched by the experience that they send letters to the Geisha after returning home. Age is no barrier to enjoying a Geisha banquet.
It is especially ideal for families with children who may find it difficult to stay in an ozashiki for an extended period. Enjoy "Ozashiki Asobi" with Kagurazaka geisha at Ryotei "Yukimoto" and create wonderful memories of your trip to Japan. It will surely be an unforgettable experience.
Peace of mind with an English-speaking guide
An English-proficient interpreter guide is included, ensuring that foreign guests who do not speak Japanese can fully enjoy the experience.
With the help of the English-speaking guide, you can have in-depth conversations with the geisha.
