At Hanahimero, you can enjoy geisha entertainment in a lovely old building in Dogo, a few minutes’ walk from Dogo Onsen Honkan.
In Tokyo or Kyoto, geisha hospitality is beyond the means of most visitors, and anyway, an introduction is typically required. But in Shikoku, you can visit one of the geisha establishments in each of the main cities for a very memorable occasion at a reasonable price.
Although geisha are representatives of traditional arts going back centuries - Japanese music and dance, kimono, flower arrangement - their purpose above all is to entertain guests and make them feel welcome. Besides their cultural accomplishments, they have a portfolio of innocent and ridiculous games that transcend culture and encourage a delightful levity. Their hospitality can be enjoyed by men and women alike.
Hanahimero has a bar counter downstairs, and a banquet room upstairs, with a menu of options from lunch to a full evening’s entertainment.
