Geisha is an important part of Kyoto’s traditional culture.
Many visitors to Kyoto may look for a course to have dinner with a geisha in the evening.
In fact, it is very difficult to choose the best course and also hard to find a course with a clear “price” “time” and “content” of the meal and with an “interpreter guide” for international tourists.
Everyone struggles to find the right course and restaurant, and many people give up on dinner with geisha.
To solve such problems, we have created a new service, UTAGE KAIGAI.
Below is a detailed description of the very attractive UTAGE KAIGAI content.

②Watching dance performances
The guests enjoy a meal and watch the geisha dance and perform.
For geisha, the tatami room is also a place where they show their guests how much they have developed by performing the dances and playing the instruments they have usually practiced.
The geisha wear beautiful kimonos and dance brilliantly to the sounds of the shamisen and drums.
③Ozashiki (Japanese tatami room) playing
Games created using methods and things that can be played with only what is available in the tatami room are called ozashiki-asobi. For example, there are many variations of games using rock-paper-scissors. Other games include those using the shamisen and skits.
This time, we will introduce you to the classic “Omawari-san”, a popular form of Japanese tatami room play.
In “Omawari-san,” the players play rock-paper-scissors, and the loser goes around once, while the winner beats the taiko drum three times; if he loses three times, he drinks. Since they go around while drinking, it is easy to get drunk. Of course, minors play ozaiko with tea or other drinks that do not contain alcohol.
Like this, Customers and geisha play a variety of games on the tatami while having a pleasant conversation with each other.
When interacted with a geisha, There is no need to use honorifics with geisha, even when meeting them for the first time. In addition to after-party parties after the playing at tatami room, geishas also go out for meals or on trips on their days off if invited by their customers. However, geisha consider such outings as part of their work, called “excursions”.
