This is a special evening out, introducing the cultural charms of Kanazawa over a delicious dinner, with a performance by the Geigi — Kanazawa's geisha.
Transfer from the ship to a traditional dinner venue, where you will sit down to a Japanese dinner featuring abundant seasonal ingredients from the Hokuriku region.
Kanazawa Geigi culture originated in the early Edo period, when Kanazawa flourished as a trade port attracting merchants and travelers. Geigi culture blossomed in this cosmopolitan setting. In this elegant world, Geigi enchanted guests with their exquisite kimonos, graceful movements, and artistic performances, including singing, dancing, and playing traditional instruments, enriching banquets with a truly special atmosphere.
Although the Geigi tradition temporarily declined after World War II, Kanazawa's Geigi culture has been preserved and is now considered an important cultural asset of the region.
While savoring your dinner, relax and enjoy a graceful and vibrant performance by the Geigi. Allow yourself to be charmed by this element of Japanese culture.
