Highlights

Are you interested in deepening your understanding of the Geiko culture, especially the one of Kanazawa? Come and explore one of the five Geiko houses in the Nishi Chaya District — a place that is normally closed to the public. This is a rare opportunity tour inside an active Geiko house building, to learn about how a Geiko house operates and to discover the essence of Kanazawa’s Geiko culture, with the help of two Geiko from the Geiko house, Mi-Ne. This experience goes beyond enjoying a Geiko performance; you will be able to ask Geiko any questions and to learn their culture directly from them.

About Kanazawa

Kanazawa is a castle city on Japan's Sea of Japan coast, with the celebrated Kenrokuen garden, geisha and samurai districts, gold leaf and fresh seafood.

Kanazawa was the seat of the Maeda clan, who ruled the rich Kaga domain through the Edo period, and it escaped the bombing of the Second World War, so its old streets survive. Kenrokuen, one of Japan's three great landscape gardens, spreads over a hill beside the castle, with ponds, stone lanterns and pines that are held up by ropes against the winter snow. The turrets and gates of Kanazawa Castle have been rebuilt.
