### An Authentic Glimpse into "Iki": A Geisha Experience in Kanazawa

Step into a world of elegance and tradition with a unique geisha experience in Kanazawa's historic Nishi Chaya District. This tour takes place in an **authentic ochaya**, a traditional teahouse that has been preserving the city's culture for generations.

An **ochaya** is a place with a distinct history, once frequented by samurai and wealthy merchants for entertainment. Its latticed facade was designed to be discreet, preserving an exclusive world of artistry and hospitality. The phrase "Ichigensan Okotowari" (first-time visitors politely declined) was a common rule, adding to its mystique. But behind those closed doors, you’ll discover a refined world of tradition and sophisticated hospitality that has stood the test of time.

At this special teahouse, you'll be welcomed by **geisha**—women who have mastered the art of traditional Japanese dance, shamisen music, and the finest hospitality. Adorned in elegant kimonos with their distinctive white makeup, they captivate guests with every word and movement. On this tour, you’ll have a rare opportunity to see these beautiful, **white-faced geisha** up close, experiencing their genuine artistry and spirit.
