Tokyo's Asakusa Pilot Tour Puts Geisha and Craftspeople Front and Center
Tokyo – October 30, 2026 -- A pilot tour in Tokyo's Asakusa district will take visitors through a traditional craft workshop, a neighborhood walk and an introduction to ozashiki, the intimate setting where geisha and hōkan entertain guests. Organizer ROJICOYA has not yet opened bookings, and details on availability, duration and participation requirements will appear on its official website.
The tour is built around three experiences
ROJICOYA organizes cultural experiences, walking tours and events centered on Edo culture and traditional performing arts, primarily in Tokyo. For this pilot, the guides are the people who sustain Asakusa's traditions: a rakugo storyteller or a hōkan leads the walk, and geisha and hōkan perform at close range.
