Would you like to enjoy the enchanting songs and dances of Kagurazaka's Geisha and engage in conversation with them? Even among Japanese people, conversing with Geisha is considered a high barrier and an experience the majority have never had.
Geisha, who have entertained dignitaries from the political and financial worlds through banquets, embody Japan's 'Omotenashi' (hospitality) culture itself. You will surely be amazed by their art and eloquence. This enchanting experience with the Geisha, suitable for all ages, promises to create cherished memories for a lifetime.
The meeting place will be decided upon consultation with the customer. Hotel pickup is also available for an additional fee.
