What’s a side of Tokyo you’ve never experienced before?

Do you know about geisha?
When you hear the word "Geisha," what place comes to mind?
Chances are, you're thinking of Kyoto.

That's right! Even many Japanese people immediately associate geisha with Kyoto.
But what if I told you that you could enjoy an authentic geisha experience right here in Tokyo? Would you be interested?

Before coming to Tokyo, you probably researched all kinds of activities and attractions.
It’s likely you’ve seen pictures of the big red lantern at the famous temple—one of the city’s most iconic symbols.
That’s Asakusa.

Asakusa is one of the most historic and vibrant areas in Tokyo.
Just a short walk from Asakusa’s iconic landmark, Sensoji Temple, stands a building called the Kenban, with a history spanning over 70 years. Here, you can enjoy an authentic geisha show.
The Kenban serves as a practice space for geisha in their daily routines and occasionally hosts Geisha performances throughout the year.

Unfortunately, even many Japanese people rarely have the opportunity to watch a geisha performance in this historic setting.
In recent years, geisha shows in Tokyo have become increasingly rare.
This is due to several factors: the declining number of Geisha dedicated to preserving their traditional art, the high cost of ozashiki entertainment, and the challenges involved in navigating the reservation process.

Typically, the cost of attending a geisha show is not disclosed until the event concludes.
Guests dine at a traditional restaurant called a ryotei, enjoy the singing and dancing of the geisha, and have the opportunity to engage in conversation with them.
It’s not uncommon for the final bill, presented upon departure, to exceed 100,000 yen per person.
To see a geisha show, reservations are usually made through the organizations that the Geisha belong to. However, first-time customers are sometimes declined.

For these reasons, geisha performances have become a rare and special experience even for Japanese people, and the number of geisha and traditional ryotei restaurants has significantly declined.
There is growing concern that Tokyo’s geisha culture may disappear entirely if this trend continues.

To help preserve this remarkable tradition, we want not only Japanese people but also visitors like you, who are interested in Japanese culture, to experience a geisha show.
That’s why we’ve made it easy for you with transparent pricing and the convenience of making reservations directly through this website. Enjoy this rare and unforgettable cultural experience with ease.

Just a stone’s throw from the bustling Sensoji Temple, you’ll find a serene and historic building nestled in a quieter corner of Asakusa. In this charming setting, you’ll have the rare chance to witness an authentic performance by 4–5 geisha, among the few remaining in Asakusa.
These talented geishas will perform their elegant dances accompanied by live music played on traditional Japanese instruments, offering you a truly unforgettable cultural experience.

We promise that this rare and precious afternoon in Asakusa, filled with elegance and tradition, will become a highlight of your time in Tokyo.
