A Memorable Autumn: Geisha Performances and Authentic Ozashiki Asobi
A recommended itinerary could be watching the free Asakusa geisha dances, followed by attending the more formal Kagurazaka Odori or Mukojima Odori. After the performances, you can further immerse yourself in the geisha world by visiting a Ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) or restaurant for an authentic ozashiki asobi experience. Alternatively, you can visit a geisha bar for a more casual conversation with a geisha after the performance.
Autumn in Japan is often referred to as "The Season of Art (Autumn: The Perfect Time to Enjoy the Arts)." Why not take this opportunity to indulge in the traditional Japanese art of geisha performances and make your autumn truly memorable?
