Description
It is no doubt that many people are curious about Geisha, the legacy of ancient Japan that still exists now. Geisha are the professional entertainers who are trained in traditional Japanese arts like dance and music. They attend meals, banquets and other gatherings to perform and also to make the guests feel at ease during the event. Even for Japanese people, there is scarcely any opportunity to experience Geisha entertainment, as it is exclusive and generally open for invitation only. So, if you have it, your trip will definitely be the memorable one. CREA voyage will take you to the special venue to enjoy the excellent Geisha entertainment where you can also enjoy the extravagant cuisine of "Kaiseki" dinner. In addition to this special experience, we will bring you to an exploration into the samurai city of Kanazawa with all its amazing sites such as Kenroku-en garden, Kanazawa castle, Nagamachi samurai district and more.

Geisha, the legacy of ancient Japan
Geishas are Japanese female entertainers who act as hostesses at banquets and whose skills include performing various Japanese traditional arts such as classical music, singing, and dancing. The geishas in Kanazawa inherited the hospitality spirit by enhancing their talents in their historical and traditionally cultured tea house districts. They perform various traditional Japanese arts. First, they learn “tachikata” (literally meaning “how to stand”) for the posture needed to dance. Then they start “narimono” (literally meaning “things making sounds”) for traditional Japanese music. The “narimono” begins with mastering how to play the Japanese drums called “taiko,””tsuzumi,” and “ookawa,” and also the flute. This is followed by the Japanese guitar "shamisen" and singing, together called “jikata.” Besides attending banquets, it is quite normal for the geisha to be very busy all day studying. A professional geisha has the most elegant and beautiful manner that can be observed even from her fingertips. Their presence can change the whole atmosphere. Please enjoy their outstanding presence and entertainment.



Tsubajin, the most traditional Japanese restaurant in Kanazawa
In 1752, one family opened a restaurant besides their main business of sword guard making. The restaurant gained a great reputation among the feudal lords, and soon it was recognized as the best restaurant in Kaga Province. After the Meiji restoration in early 19th century, literary masters including Saisen-Muro, political figures including Ito Hirofumi, the first Prime Minister of Japan, had all dined at this restaurant to enjoy Kaga’s specialty food. Today, guests from all around the world visit and experience one of the most historical Japanese restaurants in Kanazawa City. They would present you special dishes that capture the enduring historical sensation. With the finest ingredients from the Sea of Japan and Mount Haku, the original and rich flavours reflect the unique cultural and historical significance.
