About This Tour
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.
