The Geisha Experience

Enter the hidden world of the Geisha

The world of the Geisha and their apprentices with full whitened faces called the Maiko are part of the living legacy of Kyoto's traditional arts. More than just a companion these girls are fully trained artists who possess skills of dance, music and of course conversation. Be dazzled by the beauty of their dress and appearance and enjoy not only the chance to converse with them about their daily life, but also pose for photos with them and even enjoy fun lighthearted drinking games together.

Geisha Introductions

The teahouse is a place that is not so easy to gain access to. Even the Japanese locals need an introduction and someone to vouch for them in order to be allowed to enter. We have over time built a special relationship with a couple of select tea houses over the years and finally are able to extend invitations to our select VIP guests.

The only other way to meet a Geisha or Maiko without an introduction is at large banquets or dinners with groups and in my mind it really takes away from what should be an intimate meeting for just you and those special to you. We offer only private meetings and can take your requests, whether you prefer to have just one geisha or maiko and enjoy a few drinks with them, or even a full performance of song and dance with several ladies in attendance. 
​
Experience an Evening with Geisha

The usual course of events is that we start with a stroll through the geisha district while pointing out some of the beauty of the area and perhaps getting a glimpse of some of the girls off to their appointments. 

We then make our way to the discreet teahouse and open the hidden door to the world of the geisha inside. This is a beautiful stylish bar with low light and comfortable seats. Be greeted and treated like royalty by the lovely kimono-clad waitresses while we wait for the door to open and the amazing Maiko and Geisha to arrive. 

Once the girls arrive we can we can enjoy conversation and drinks or continue upstairs with a special private performance just for you depending on what was pre-decided. After our time at the tea house it's time to go back out into the Gion streets and once the door closes it is time to go for a nightcap at a quiet and classy bar and reflect on what a wonderful night we had. 

An exclusive experience in the heart of Gion and a chance to meet a geisha or maiko. Let us open the door for you so you can have a night to remember for years to come.
