• Meet Geisha is a geisha show event in Hakone. While traditional ozashiki venues are often thought of as primarily for male patrons, this show is designed to be enjoyable even for those who have never been to an ozashiki. It begins with a conversation between the ladies, followed by ozashiki games and a traditional Japanese dance performance, making it enjoyable for both women and families. The event takes place at Yumoto Kenban, a geisha office-like space located a five-minute walk from Hakone-Yumoto Station. This historic venue dates back to the Showa era, when the entertainment industry was said to have reached its peak. Enjoy the geisha's lively conversation, graceful dance, and ozashiki games. Why not step into the deep, local side of Hakone? Even if you've never been to an ozashiki, it's fine. Women and families are welcome. The geisha will talk about Hakone and geisha, sharing their own real-life stories. You can also try playing ozashiki games. There will also be original games created by Meet Geisha, such as "Tosenkyo" and "Okaisan," which are played in the actual tatami room. ・The experience will be held at the historic "Yumoto Kenban." The relatively small venue allows you to enjoy the experience up close with the geisha. ・The venue will also have content such as reading material telling the stories of geisha, and videos that teach you how to apply white makeup and how to dress in kimono.
