4.Tokyo Traditional Geisha Show and Japanese Fine Dining Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · from $144

At BENITSUYA in Shinbashi, you’ll eat Kyoto-style kaiseki under chef Naoki Okumura’s supervision, watch authentic Tokyo geisha perform traditional dances, ask questions through translation devices, and join classic geisha games. The 90-minute experience is limited to adults age 20 and older.

“Be careful when booking this show. I didn’t realise there were 2 types of dinner???? We got a different dinner than the rest of the group .. .. and when we asked about it they said that’s what we ordered 🤷‍♀️ Geisha girls very good. An opportunity to see Japanese dance and hear music but very pricey. Also only lasted an hour and a half and not 2. A bit disappointing.”
