Proprietress Chikage
～The Only Former Geisha in Asakusa～
Born and raised in Asakusa, Chikage comes from a family of traditional performers—her grandfather was an actor, and her mother was a geisha. She began training in Nihon Buyo (classical Japanese dance) and Wagaku (traditional Japanese music) at six and later performed on some of Japan’s top stages.
At 15, she became a geisha, dedicating herself to dance, music, and hospitality. At 43, she took over as proprietress of Ryotei Miyakodori, and in 2025, she will mark 56 years in this world of tradition.
Today, she is the only proprietress in Asakusa with firsthand experience as a geisha, making her a true expert in this unique culture. Her passion for the arts and dedication to hospitality create a rare opportunity for guests to step into the world of geisha and experience Japan’s living traditions at Miyakodori.
