Geisha Event -Meet with a Kanazawa Geisha- (金沢の芸姑に会ってみよう)
Do you think you can see Geishas if you come to Japan?
To be honest, it is rare to meet them for Japanese people.
However, We went to the geisha tea house called 'Kaikarou' where you can visit and meet geishas for the seasonal event.
Let's look at the Geisha world!
日本を訪れたら、気軽に芸者さんに会えると思っていませんか？
実は日本人にとっても、日常では会えないのです。
今回は珍しく一般公開をしている茶屋が行っているシーズンイベントにて、芸者さんに会いに行ってきました。
芸者さんの世界を覗いてみましょう。

Kanazawa Tours: Meet the Masters (Geisha) 2019
Ever wondered what it would be like to meet and talk to a real Geisha?
Exclusive to Kanazawa Tours, this secretive and guarded profession is finally opened up to a select few. This once in a lifetime experience is designed to share this enchanting tradition with those who are curious enough to indulge.
A geisha is a woman highly trained in the arts of music, dance and entertainment. Geisha is Japanese for person of art. She spends many years learning to play various musical instruments, sing, dance and be the perfect hostess at a party of men. A geisha, when she is working, is just that: the illusion of female perfection.
A geisha's makeup, hair, clothing and manner are calculated to indulge a man's fantasy of the perfect woman, and men usually pay huge sums of money to have geisha attend to their every whim.
Why the white face?
Geisha have worn white makeup since times before electricity, the use of white makeup facilitated the lighting up of the face under candlelight, illuminating the face in a then dimly lit environment.

*How do I get to Kanazawa from Tokyo?*
Traveling from Tokyo to Kanazawa only takes 2.5 hours. In March 2015, the Nagano Shinkansen line opened a new train that runs to Kanazawa station. It’s called Hokuriku Shinkansen. I went from Nagano to Kanazawa which only took a little over one hour.
*21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art*
The free part of the museum is an exhibit on cloth. You can feel the different materials used to make a piece of cloth. I believe the exhibit that is offered for free changes all the time. The outside of the museum has pretty interesting pieces you can look at.
*Kanazawa has cherry blossoms!*
If you missed the cherry blossoms you can still catch the Yaezakura cherry blossoms! It is a multi-layered cherry blossom. Because of the different layers the colors range from light to dark pink.
*Things to Do in Kanazawa*
1) When in Kanazawa, you have to try gold leaf ice cream. Kanazawa produces 99% of all gold leaf in Japan.
2) Kanazawa also has a rich tradition of making amazing craft items. This stems from the 15th century where samurai used to rule the land. They didn’t have any wars to fight and were rich in food and land, so they decided to invest many of their resources into arts and crafts.
Today, Kanazawa has over 400 legendary craftsmen dedicated to 36 different types of arts and crafts. Gold leaf, fireworks, umbrellas and fishing lures are some of the specialties of the area.
3) Chaya Area is a lovely neighborhood of beautifully preserved geisha houses. Many have now been converted into restaurants or teahouses. This place reminded me of Gion in Kyoto. Like here it is also a famous geisha district.
4) Kanazawa Castle
From 1583 to the end of the Edo Period, Kanazawa Castle was the seat of the powerful Maeda Clan, a feudal land second only to the Tokugawa’s lands in terms of size and wealth.
The original castle was burnt down and I didn’t bother to pay to go inside. There isn’t much inside compared to Matsumoto castle. If you haven’t seen my trip to Matsumoto remember to go check that out.
Kanazawa Castle Hours
7:00 to 18:00 (March 1 to October 15)
8:00 to 17:00 (October 16 through February)
5) Kanazawa Tea Ceremony
If you want a real tea ceremony experience, they have one here.
This exquisite private garden and tea house was reconstructed based on the original floor plans and opened in 2015. It’s one of the prettiest places in Japan in my opinion, and drinking matcha tea in the tea house while looking out at the view is a special experience.
On Friday and Saturday nights, they open the garden and light it up. I didn’t get to do that this trip but I read that it is a beautiful sight.
6) Omnicho Market
I couldn’t just leave without experiencing this market. So before I left Kanazawa, I had to stop by this market to take a look.
This place reminds me of Nishiki market in Kyoto, just not as big and crowded. It’s also maze like with a bunch of small coordinators snaking around everywhere.
I loved the big, raw oysters here. You can add your sauces on it and it only costs 500 yen. I also got the calm which was disappointing and fishy.
7) Eat Kanazawa Curry
I came here because it was conveniently located inside Kanazawa train station and Go Go curry is a famous brand. I’ve never tried Kanazawa styled curry before. Kanazawa curry has some specific attributes: it needs to be thick and gooey and is often sweet. It’s served with shredded cabbage and curry entirely covers the rice. It’s traditionally eaten in a stainless steel bowl and a fork and a spoon (or even a spork).

Kanazawa, Japan - Higashi Chaya-gai Geisha District (2019)
Higashi Chaya-gai is a beautifully preserved historical area of Kanazawa with many traditional wooden buildings. This area was established in 1820 as an entertainment district for rich merchants and nobility.
The name Higashi Chaya-gai literally means “Eastern Teahouse District,” because the chaya, or teahouses, were where wealthy customers would be entertained by geisha with traditional music, dancing, and drinking games. Many of these buildings have today been converted into restaurants or souvenir craft shops, but there are two geisha teahouses that are open to the public during the day. In this article we will introduce Higashi Chaya-gai’s chief highlights.
Kanazawa (金沢市 Kanazawa-shi) is a city located in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. As of 1 January 2018, the city had an estimated population of 466,029 in 203,271 households, and a population density of 990 persons per km². The total area of the city was 468.64 square kilometres (180.94 sq mi). It is the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture.

Geiko and Maiko in Japan Japanology Geisha (芸者)
Geisha (芸者) (/ˈɡeɪʃə/; Japanese: [ɡe̞ːɕa̠]), geiko (芸子), or geigi (芸妓) are traditional Japanese female entertainers who act as hostesses. Their wide skills include performing various arts such as Japanese classical music and traditional dance, witty games and conversation, traditionally to entertain male customers, but also female customers today.
Geisha (/ˈɡeɪʃə/; Japanese: [ɡe̞ːɕa̠]), like all Japanese nouns, has no distinct singular or plural variants. The word consists of two kanji, 芸 (Gei) meaning art and 者 (Sha) meaning person or doer. The most literal translation of geisha into English would be artist, performing artist, or artisan. Another name for geisha is Geiko (芸妓), which translates specifically as Woman of Art. This term is used to refer to geisha from Western Japan, which includes Kyoto and Kanazawa.
Apprentice geisha are called Maiko (舞妓), literally Woman of Dance, or Hangyoku (半玉), Half-Jewel (meaning that they were paid half of the wage of a full geisha), or by the more generic term o-shaku (御酌), literally one who pours (alcohol). The white make-up and elaborate kimono and hair of a maiko is the popular image held of geisha. A woman entering the geisha community does not have to begin as a maiko, having the opportunity to begin her career as a full geisha. Either way, however, usually a year's training is involved before debuting either as a maiko or as a geisha. A woman above 21 is considered too old to be a maiko and becomes a full geisha upon her initiation into the geisha community.
