Geisha are referred to as Geiko in Kanazawa.
Learn about their culture, and appreciate their hospitality
through experiences we offer.

Kanazawa is a city with many historical treasures; one of which is Geiko.
The beautiful cityscape of Kanazawa is marked by the traditional architectures including ochayas (teahouses).
Geiko-san's hospitality is very exclusive and is usually only offered to their trusted, regular customers at their ochayas.
Geiko-san are professional performing artists who preserve the tradition to pass onto the younger generation in the future.

The Art of Geisha is here to share the world with Kanazawa's wonderful tradition, Geiko.

Shared Group Experiences in 2026

Watching a Geiko performance is a rare opportunity, even for locals.
Visiting a Geiko house (ochaya) is typically limited to regular patrons and those who have been personally introduced, making it difficult for travelers to experience this unique Kanazawa tradition.

For this reason, we offer special events that give international visitors the chance to witness Geiko culture firsthand.
Join us at our events in 2026 and immerse yourself in the art and elegance of Kanazawa’s Geiko.
