Midsummer Cooling Night
In the movie *Memoirs of a Geisha*, geisha appear at private gatherings with their stunning beauty and exceptional skills, bringing the luxury of banquets to a climax. According to the traditional Japanese saying of geisha, "Ichigen-san o okotowari shimasu" (declining first-time or unfamiliar guests), arranging for a geisha to perform at a banquet requires an introduction from a regular customer and layered trust from the tea house before access can be granted.

Singing the Praises of a Brilliant Summer – The Cooling Feast
Speaking of summer, one cannot overlook the classic summer scene in Japan’s seasonal landscape—“Kawadoko Cooling.” The “Cooling Feast” originates from this tradition and represents the most luxurious enjoyment for Japanese nobility in summer. Following Japanese tradition, Nikken Sekkei Kagaya holds the “Cooling Feast” within the inn, inviting you to participate in the limited-time “Japanese Tableware Gourmet Feast” from July 14th (Friday) to July 16th (Sunday) and spend the hot summer days elegantly!
The chef at Nikken Sekkei Kagaya says: “The vessels that hold the food are like the kimono of the cuisine!” Subtle and understated, yet deeply intriguing—like brilliant fireworks lighting up the summer night sky. They blend their unique charm and bring out the utmost deliciousness of the dishes as the unsung heroes behind this feast, adding even more sparkle. The “Japanese Tableware Gourmet Feast” pairs seasonal delicacies with vividly colored Koguro-yaki tableware, conveying an elegant and playful sense of coolness through these luxurious vessels—like participating in a multi-sensory luxurious banquet. Guests who attend the “Japanese Tableware Gourmet Feast” will receive one “Public Bath Holiday Voucher.” Additionally, at the same time, the 6F Yamaran Hall is hosting the “Gorgeous Koguro-yaki Lovers’ Gathering,” where you can bring your favorite tableware home and continue enjoying the beauty of the season.
