【Fun Facts】

Once, there were many geisha districts in Tokyo, but now there are only 6 left. One of them is Asakusa. Among the 6 districts, Asakusa geisha's characteristic charm is that they have a kind of friendliness full of warmth and care. There are two types of geisha roles: one is a 'tachikata,' specialized in dancing, and the other is a 'jikata,' playing songs on the shamisen. They form a pair and liven up the atmosphere. Asakusa is also known for having male geisha called 'hokan.'  

【Nearby area introduction】

On the north side of the Senso-ji Temple, there is an area called 'Kannon-ura." You can find traditional Japanese restaurants, geisha houses, and geisha call-offices here, and you are able to feel the historical atmosphere of an authentic geisha district. There is much less traffic compared to Senso-ji and the Nakamise Street where it is always crowded with visitors, so in the Kannon-ura area you can fully experience the calm atmosphere of the geisha district. You might even be able to see a geisha going to a banquet at dusk when the street lights are lit.
