About this experience

Focus on the heart of Japanese hospitality with this "Short Course." Meet your guide directly at a renowned traditional restaurant in Asakusa to savor an exquisite Kaiseki lunch and a private Geisha performance.

Relax in a refined private room while enjoying seasonal dishes prepared with the finest ingredients. The highlight is an authentic Geisha dance performance. Your guide will provide a deep dive into the history and significance of the geisha’s art, making this elegant world accessible and meaningful for you.

Please note: This option includes the same high-quality dining and Geisha experience as the "Full Course" but does not include the guided walking tour of the Asakusa temple area.
