Located in traditional geisha quarters, ochaya welcome a privileged clientele who come to be entertained by music. Long reserved for wealthy regulars, they are now open to visitors and offer a rare opportunity to discover the discreet world of the geisha.

A district steeped in history
Named Kaikaro, this magical place will transport you to the heart of the secret world of traditional entertainment. You'll find it in the Higashi-chaya district, where samurai and nobles used to entertain. Built along the lines of traditional houses, or machiya, ochaya have discreet exterior facades and rooms with tatami mats.
