Kanazawa Geisha Experience 2022-2023
Looking for something special in Kanazawa? How about experiencing authentic Japanese culture with Kanazawa Geisha?

Kanazawa is one of a few cities where Geisha culture has been preserved. Geishas in Kanazawa are called Kanazawa Geigi. About 40 Geigis inherit the Japanese traditional hospitality culture 
in three teahouse districts in the city: Higashi, Nishi and Kazue-machi.
Normally a teahouse does not allow "Ichigen-san", meaning a first-time customer without any invitation.

This event surely lets you experience something even most Japanese people have never experienced!

- Brief Background of This Event
The teahouses are where Geigi (= Geisha) ladies entertain their customers with their performances such as dancing, singing, and playing Japanese traditional instruments. Normally people must have an invitation from a trusted customer of the teahouse to be their customer.

This special event is held by the city of Kanazawa and Kanazawa City Tourism Association thanks to the cooperations from several teahouses in the city.
**Note: The landlady and Geigis speak only in Japanese.
