The Essence of Geisha ‘Kanazawa’

Hosted by Kaikaro Teahouse
Located in the historic
Higashi Chaya District of Kanazawa, Ishikawa

Exclusivity

We operate by referral only,
with the venue privately rented out
for a single party,
guaranteeing a sense of scarcity and privacy.

Immersiveness

Guests are fully immersed in Japanese culture
as they dress in kimonos, experience tea ceremony,
enjoy the evening’s entertainment and
dinner and visit the teahouse’s upper floor.

Authenticity

This is no mere show for tourists
– it is an opportunity to experience
genuine geisha hospitality,
with the same people, places and performing arts
enjoyed behind closed doors by regular patrons.
