About

Gion Hatanaka is one of Kyoto's most intimate and exclusive experiences — a 7-room inn in the heart of Gion whose owner, Isokichi Hatanaka, is one of the last people in Japan authorized to arrange private ozashiki entertainment with real maiko (apprentice geisha). Guests who book the dinner plan dine in their room while maiko perform, serve sake, and play traditional instruments — an encounter that is effectively impossible to access elsewhere. The inn itself is a beautifully preserved wooden building with garden-facing rooms, private baths, and kaiseki meals that reflect the Gion district's profound culinary heritage.
