This is a PRIVATE geisha meeting that lasts 45 minutes. You can invite your friends and family as the price covers up to 10 people. The geisha will be wearing her traditional white make-up and her traditional outfit which takes hours of preparation.
※ There will be an interpreter for you to make sure your communication with the geisha goes smoothly. You are also more than welcome to have a drink at your venue if you’d like to. If you are reserving for a university class, please let us know in the notes section.
About Geisha : In the past, it was impossible to meet a geisha for first-timers because in Kyoto there is a rule called “ichigensan okotowari” which means personal reference is necessary for a geisha meeting. But, now, for the first time ever, you can meet a real geisha from Kyoto’s geisha district online. Because of the risks of face to face meetings, the geisha of Kyoto temporarily agreed to open their mysterious world to the rest of the world via virtual meetings. Since this is a limited time opportunity, you may be one of the few in the world to get a chance to talk to a real geisha from Kyoto at your living room.
