Kagaya Summer Cool: Geisha Glamour & Chilled Banquet – Limited Seats Available for Booking

Geisha from Kanazawa arrive in Taiwan with their exceptional artistry, gently lifting wine cups with delicate fingers to invite guests to toast and enjoy fine brews together. From July 26 to July 30, Nikken Sekkei Kagaya is ready to transport guests through time, immersing them in a lively feast and allowing them to experience the charm of geisha up close, creating unforgettable summer memories.

Midsummer Elegance – Encounter the Geisha

Geisha embody centuries of refined tradition and are considered living treasures of Japanese art. Their enchanting beauty and masterful skills are well-known, but seeing them in person is not so easy. The more beautiful they become as night falls, the stricter the traditional rule “Ichigen-san o kotowaru” (refusing first-time visitors) that geisha follow. One must rely on introductions from regular patrons and earn the trust of tea houses layer by layer before being able to invite a geisha to grace a banquet—adding another peak of luxury to the opulent feast.

This summer, the only Michelin-recommended top-tier Japanese hot spring inn—Nikken Sekkei Kagaya—warmly invites guests who love traditional Japanese culture to join them on a meaningful journey through Japanese heritage. Enjoy performances by the NO.1 geisha of Kanazawa’s Nishidatami Tea House Street—Yui—and two others, showcasing their exquisite dance and music. Guests can also interact closely with the geisha, experiencing the lively banquet scenes from the movie *Memoirs of a Geisha* without traveling to Japan or needing an introduction from a regular patron. There are only 5 days of limited seats available, from Thursday, July 26 to Monday, July 30, with only 32 VIPs admitted per session.

Enchanting Scenery – Showcasing Geisha Grace

Speaking of summer, one cannot overlook the classic summer scene in Japan’s four-season landscape—“Kawazu Nagashi (Riverbed Cooling),” and the “Nagashi no Utage (Cooling Feast)” originates from this tradition, representing the most luxurious summer enjoyment of ancient Japanese nobility.

Nikken Sekkei Kagaya has specially planned a limited-time “Graceful Geisha Banquet,” a once-a-year opportunity to experience the joyful atmosphere of a traditional Japanese banquet firsthand on tatami mats. Not only can you admire the graceful and elegant performances of geisha exuding radiance in every movement, but you can also play small games with them, enjoy close interactions, and appreciate the beauty of geisha culture.
