About this experience
A genuine ozashiki in a private room in Kyoto's hanamachi: real geiko and maiko pour, dance, play the parlour games and talk with you through an interpreter, over a multi-course kaiseki dinner. Kyoto's teahouses keep the introduction-only custom — OlaChill is inside that door through an existing relationship, which is why the booking platforms cannot sell this. These are working artists, not costumed performers.
