Comemorative photos
An ochaya is called a teahouse in English. It is a building where Geiko belong to and where they host "ozashiki" parties for their regular customers. Doors to any ochaya in Kanazawa are closed to the public; you will need an introduction to an ochaya by their regular customer if you ever want to
spep inside and experience the enchanting world of Kanazawa Geiko.
This tour offers an exclusive experience of having 2 Geiko showing you inside their ochaya, explaining about their kimono, hairstyle, makeup, what they carry around and their custom. After the tour, you will immerse yourself in skillful dancing, taiko drumming and Japanese flute Geiko performances as well as participate in fun traditional games with them.
