What is an OZASHIKI?
An OZASHIKI is a refined cultural experience unique to Japan, where guests invite geisha to a private banquet to enjoy traditional performing arts such as dance and music, as well as participate in classic OZASHIKI Asobi games, all embodying the spirit of true ”OMOTENASHI (hospitality).” Every moment is thoughtfully curated and managed by the geisha themselves, tailored exclusively to each guest, creating a profoundly private and bespoke experience for that specific occasion.
