Good luck beating a geisha

戸倉上山田温泉の芸者衆は「座敷遊び」という新しい商品で、芸者さん30~40分のコースで楽しめます。さっそく、横田米軍基地からの操縦士の小グループの為に手配しました。

三味線の春駒さんと踊りの武さんが夕食の宴会に来てくれました。最初は三味線と踊りは2つの歌を見してくれて、そして、踊りをお客さんに教えて、皆で踊りました。最後は座敷遊びという事で、操縦士の皆が一生懸命芸者さんに勝とうとしました。三味線のリズムがどんどんと早くなっていくうち、なかなか難しくなるよ!

通常は芸者さんを呼ぶ時に、最低2時間で一人18,000円という値段になります。この新しい「座敷遊び」プランで一人1万円という割と手ごろの値段となります。

The geisha here at Togura Kamiyamada Onsen have recently started to offer a new program, a short, 30-40 minute "zashiki asobi" (parlor games) plan. We took advantage of it for a group of pilots from the U.S. Air Force base at Yokota.

For their dinner banquet, we had Harugoma (shamisen) and Takeshi (dance) come to entertain the guests. First they played (and danced) two songs, then taught the guests some dance moves and everyone joined in the dancing. The entertainment finished with a drinking game called Konpira. The game starts out deceptively easy, but as Harugoma-san picks up the pace on the shamisen, you get dizzy quickly. Warning: It's almost impossible to beat a geisha!

Normally, geisha entertainment is a minimum of 2 hours and 18,000 yen per geisha, but wtih this 'zashiki asobi' plan, the price is a more reasonable 10,000 yen.

For details, feel free to contact us, or the geisha office.
