Geisha Performance with Dinner

Japanese Cuisine and a Traditional Performance by Skilled Artisans Enjoy a meal at a traditional Japanese restaurant accompanied by an authentic geisha performance. Transfer by motor coach to the restaurant, where you will be served a delicious kaiseki , or traditional multicourse Japanese dinner that is a feast for both the eyes and the palate, paired with a choice of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. While you dine, you will be entertained by geisha: skilled Japanese female performers—the word originates from gei , or “art,” and sha , or “person”—who are educated in the ancient traditions of art, dance and singing. Geisha emerged as an important part of Japanese culture during the 18th century and were highly valued and popular among Japan’s upper classes. Settle in to enjoy this rare treat as the geisha perform while bedecked in colorful costumes and makeup. After, you will return to your awaiting ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
