"We are the only spot in Tokyo where you're guaranteed to meet a Geisha, 365 days a year." Normally closed to first-time visitors without special introductions, geisha encounters like this are rarely accessible to the public. But at Benitsuya, anyone—regardless of background or language—can enjoy this elegant and immersive cultural experience. Upon entering the restaurant, be greeted by a beautiful room featuring crimson walls and traditional decor. Relax and unwind while savoring refined seasonal ingredients and signature Japanese cuisine. During your meal, enjoy elegant traditional dances performed by geisha. Unlike tourist stage shows, experience an intimate and authentic interaction rooted in centuries of Japanese art. After the performance, enjoy the rare opportunity to play ozashiki games and converse with the geisha. To cap off the evening, take memorable photos with the geisha, creating a truly once-in-a-lifetime souvenir.
The Geisha’s were friendly and talented. We would have like to learn a little bit about Geisha’s training and history; unfortunately the only communication was through a translator device which made talking to them difficult, The emcee was very difficult to understand even when he spoke in English.
Incredible experience! The geisha were so fun to talk to and the dancing was incredible! I would absolutely recommend this experience.
We had a wonderful experience. The Geisha were fun and informative and we enjoyed their company. I highly recommend.
A walking tour. Great day with a wonderful guide. Actually able to see Mt Fugi. Would highly recommend
Such a pleasant and personal show with 2 Geishas. Conversation worked well with translator app when needed. Great dinner. Beautiful dancing and music. Then they played Japanese games with us. So very polite and friendly.
They are very accommodating to folks who do not eat raw fish. The geisha were informative and friendly
This was a very nice show with dinner. There were only four Americans at the show (two couples). The food was good, but it was a little strange having a Geisha stand right in front of you watching you eat. The show was really good and the games we played afterward made the experience worth it.
Very nice experience and the two Geisha's were very kind and fun.
It was fantastic Food was excellent Geisha hosts were phenomenal...we really felt part of the Geisha culture Loved talking to then and the translator device was amazing Great experience
Very good experience, very nice geishas
Hisano and yue were amazing, great experience so much fun such great food and fun games and beautiful enviornment.
This event was a unique experience. It was exciting, fun and a cultural experience that went beyond my expectations. Thank you very much to the ladies that made my day so special.
So interesting and so much fun Very much worth the money Dinner was excellent Entertainment great!
Beautiful evening! The culture was lovely to experience and the food and drinks were good! Highly recommend
Wow such a lovely evening. Food and drinks were great and got to enjoy a beautiful culture! Also would be appropriate for solo travelers
Wow what a great tour, the Geisha where very friendly and the food was great, we highly recommend this tour when visiting Japan
Marvelous event. Small Intimate gathering giving each Geisha the opportunity to interact and chat with everyone. Traditional dishes were served and the Geisha were happy to explain each dish. Their dancing was amazing With the games they introduced enabled participation from many of the group.
It was a very interesting and intimate experience with a small number of guests. The girls visited with us, performed, and taught and played Japanese games with us. The food was very good...a very authentic Japanese dinner.
Great experience and very interactive. Food was good and well presented. Definitely something to experience when in Japan.
An absolutely magical experience. It was very personal and the food was just amazing. Definately a must. Thank you for your great hospitality.
Had a great time! The food was more than I thought which was great because I like to eat. The dessert was my favorite of the food. The mochi was super soft and delicious. The games were a lot of fun. I am really competitive so in the geisha game we played I went twice. The second time I was competing against one of the geishas and I won! My fiancé and I loved our experience! Highly recommend!
Very friendly and informative geishas. Got to have a lovely chat to learn more about them before and after the beautiful dance they performed.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience. The dancing was spectacular and they geisha were funny and entertaining. I would absolutely recommend everyone visiting Japan to see them at least once.
It was a great experience and very personalised! Super great value! Directions are a little tricky, you have to into the building and go to level 6F.
Excellent and personal show, we talked to the geishas and the food was great too! Definitely recommend this experience for anyone wanting to see geishas!
Amazing spending time here. Didn’t expect something but was si amazing. You can talk with geisha long and enjoyed the show and dancing. Absolutely high recommend to go👌
I went to this dinner in early May at the earliest time in the day as the rest of the evening was booked up. Im SO happy I did. I had all the lovely ladies to myself. We had a great conversation while I ate my dinner. The show was wonderful. The food was interesting and it too all had history.
The Geisha Show here is lovely!! The women are so kind and sweet — making everyone feel special! The entertainment was lovely a song and dance of the traditional geisha are very interesting to experience. Plus, you get quite a large meal on top of a wonderful and authentic show!!
Good food, very nice people, very friendly. Also educational!
We expected this to be a small group experience, but happily we were the only two for dinner with the two Geishas. This allowed us to learn about their world and education one on one, with them answering our questions with the help of scratcher translation device when their English wasn’t sufficient. We also thoroughly enjoyed the dinner preparation and variety. Although the booking was through Viator, my wife’s request for only cooked sushi was properly transmitted and taken care of. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and a recommended one.
The staff and services was quite amazing and they allowed me to come in quite early and the experience and atmosphere is well worth something to visit while your time in Tokyo.
Such a lovely evening! You could really feel the care and hospitality from the geisha throughout the whole experience, and the performances were wonderful to watch. I even got to join in with Konpira Fune Fune, although I was absolutely terrible at it! A really fun and memorable experience.
It was fun and informative, a little odd to fund you have to go through a restaurant to find the lift ? Would have been helpful to know that
The experience was really interesting !! The host was really kind, we could discuss with Geishas about Japan and everything else. In addition, the food was really good and the show was awesome !!! After the show, the Geishas show us some traditional games, it was so fun !! I bet no one can beat them to the rhythm game. We highly recommend this experience !!!
This was definitely one of my highlights of my trip to Japan. The geishas took the time to converse with us and play games with us. Their dances were lovely. It was a very special evening. The host was able to accommodate my vegan meal request, and since I was a solo traveler even took pictures for me to share with friends and family. Thank you.
The Geisha experience was one of the highlights of our trip. It was intimate, authentic, and unlike anything we've done before. We happened to be the only guests that evening, which made the experience feel incredibly personal. At first, it was a little intimidating when the geisha joined us for conversation before the performance, but they used a translation device which made the discussion flow naturally and helped us relax. Once we settled in, we had fascinating conversations about geisha culture, the challenges of preserving the tradition, and their perspectives on everything from sake to modern society. It felt less like a performance and more like a genuine cultural exchange. We also learned a traditional game, had the opportunity to take photos with the geisha, and left with a much deeper appreciation for this unique and beautiful tradition. It was a truly memorable evening, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic cultural experience in Japan.
What a fabulous time. The Geisha were fun, friendly and entertaining! They entertained us with dance, games and knowledge!
Friendly environment and the selection of food was good. Walked away with no understanding or history of the Geisha.
Magnificent and intimidate time spent at this Geisha experience for my husband and I. We were anticipating it to be busy as it was Friday evening but we were the only patrons. Worked out well for us since it gave us time to interact with the 2 Geishas - we asked them a lot of questions of the history and culture. We then learned some local games, one very similar to rock paper scissors. The food portion was prefect and good. Overall experience was wonderful and we walked away very pleased and enjoyed our time. Highly recommend!
Wonderful and authentic experience. We loved their performance and interaction with us, specially the fun game. The food was excellent and recommend a visit if you like authenticity. Lovely
This was probably one of the best parts of the trip. Very fun experience. Definitely recommend this experience.
Went with my friend and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious and we each had a couple drinks. The two Geisha were so warm and welcoming. We used Google translate and they had their own translation device so we had some very fun conversations together. They performed beautiful dances, songs, and taught us some really fun games. It was such a wonderful evening. Highly recommend!
Is worth it, I personal like it. Good presentation from geisha. The food was ...ok but not what I aspect. Thanks.
Very nice meal. Geishas were talkative and informative. Entire experience was great. Cultural descriptions were helpful.
We had a very fun night. The geishas were friendly and talkative.. We spoke with them for about 25 min prior to the show. They performed 3 acts which were entertaining and peaceful. We all played a game afterwards which was a lot of fun…The loser had to do a shot of sake. We took many photos with the geisha after the show. Overall a wonderful experience that we would recommend to travelers. The only downside was the food. We ate before the show because of the poor reviews about the food
Total lack of adequate communication would never us this tour company again. A very late email does not equal communication, especially when you have my phone number.
The dancing, shamisen, games and general atmosphere was amazing. The traditional food was well seasoned and delicious. I'm not a fan of dake but the options made me chnage my opinion on that. Would happily come again
Amazing experience, we walked in and expected a group and it was my husband and I only. So nice to have an unexpected personal experience after getting off a boat of 900. Host was amazing, service amazing!
Come hungry, it’s a pre set menu with fish and beef. Started out with some chat and then interesting dance and then some more chat and really fun dances
Thought it was beautiful and intimate
