Are you interested in deepen your understanding of the Geiko culture, especially the one of Kanazawa?

Come and explore one of the five Geiko houses in the Nishi Chaya District — a place that is normally closed to the public.

This is a rare opportunity tour inside an active Geiko house building, to learn about how a Geiko house operates and to discover the essence of Kanazawa’s Geiko culture, with the help of two Geiko from the Geiko house, Mi-Ne.

This experience goes beyond enjoying a Geiko performance; you will be able to ask Geiko any questions and to learn their culture directly from them.

Great insider Geisha experience! We visited the inside of a Kanazawa Geiko tea house, with detailed explanations & stories. We saw upclose how the Geiko carefully store their dozens of gorgeous kimonos, and for what seasons and occasions each is used. We viewed the various rooms and multiple secret staircases to ensure perfect discretion. We got a fun, lighthearted look inside a Geiko’s bag and description of their many accessories. Not to mention dance, flute, and participative taiko. Unforgettable!
