Ozashiki parties with geisha are usually held at ryotei restaurants in the Kagai district to which the geisha are attached. At the peak of their popularity, there were 100 ryotei restaurants in Akasaka, but now there are only three. These days you can enjoy ozashiki parties at such restaurants and can also meet geisha at other places. Please visit Akasaka for a new experience you may not get elsewhere.
Ryotei Restaurants in Akasaka
You can call the three remaining ryotei restaurants to inquire about ozashiki parties by phone. Please note, however, that Akasaka Asada accepts first-time guests but Tsurunaka and Sato do not.

New option to allow you to enjoy a geisha experience

The program is intended to help more members of the general public become familiar with geisha culture. For details, please click the reservation link below.

Plan B
"Girls' talk" with geisha
Participants will watch a recorded video of “Adesugata Akasaka-no Nigiwai,” an extra version of Akasaka Odori (dance) while enjoying a course meal at a popular Chinese restaurant. Because the video starts with some explanations about geisha and their world (Karyukai), participants can also learn the basic knowledge about geisha. Recommended for Karyukai beginners. During the conversation time, participants can raise questions to geisha and enjoy talking with them in a casual setting.

Enjoy drinking with geisha in a casual setting at a pub
Participants will interact with geisha while drinking at a pub. They will also watch a recorded video of “Adesugata Akasaka-no Nigiwai,” an extra version of Akasaka Odori, which is a traditional dance performance by geisha, with commentary subtitles. In the homelike environment provided by the pub, participants can talk with geisha at a close distance and in a casual manner. Recommended for those who like drinking and for visitors from overseas.
Presently, we are also proposing special programs to hotels and commercial facilities. We will dispatch geisha to events to set them apart from regular events in the hope that more people will learn about Akasaka geisha. For inquiries and reservations, please contact the following email address.
At ozashiki parties and other events with geisha, comprehensive infection prevention measures are taken. Because it is difficult for geisha to wear ordinary masks, they use special masks that they have made themselves. Also, Miyawaki Baisenann has provided geisha with special “Shikkui Sensu” fans. These fans provide antiviral, antibacterial and deodorizing effects and feature patterns created in the image of geisha. These fans, although with patterns different from those specially made for geisha, are also available on the official website of Miyawaki Baisenann. If you are interested in the fans, please visit the website.
