Activity itinerary

Shibuya

  • 30m
Begin in the heart of Shibuya, where you’ll meet your guide and explore lesser-known cultural areas. Moving beyond the busy streets, you’ll enter a district known for its unique nightlife and subcultures—an overlooked side of Tokyo that reveals how tradition and modern life coexist. Along the way, your guide will introduce landmarks connected to geisha culture, sharing insights that provide context before entering a truly special place.

Shibuya

  • 1h 30m
You will then arrive at a historic Japanese residence not open to the public. As you step inside, the atmosphere shifts—from the energy of the city to a quiet traditional space where geisha culture is still practised today. After a brief introduction, you’ll be guided into an intimate performance space to watch a professional geisha perform just steps away. This close setting allows you to appreciate each movement and expression. Next, take part in a hands-on lesson using a traditional fan. Guided by the geisha, you’ll learn the basic movements, etiquette, and meaning behind Japanese dance. The highlight is stepping onto the stage yourself. In small groups, you will practice and perform on a sacred stage rarely open to visitors, taking turns performing and capturing each other’s moments. The experience concludes with a final performance, followed by a relaxed photo session and time for questions.
