Yakiniku Dining & Geisha Bar Cultural Experience in Kagurazaka

Our Favourites

Kagurazaka, one of Tokyo's six major flower streets Kagurazaka is located near JR Iidabashi Station. It is one of the "Six Red-light Districts in Tokyo" loved by Japan's upper class. The cobblestone streets in the alleys are full of various red-light district charms, and quiet restaurants with a hidden atmosphere are scattered among them. Kagurazaka has been the residence of many writers and artists since the Meiji period, and the Tokyo Art Association was also established here. In contrast to Gion in Kyoto, Kagurazaka, Shinbashi, Akasaka, Yoshimachi, Asakusa, and Tsukudajima together constitute the "Six Great Flower Streets of Tokyo". Compared to the heyday, the number of geisha in Kagurazaka has been decreasing, from more than 200 to only about 20 active geisha. This special arrangement allows you to get close to geisha, and you can communicate with them more freely without performing. It is recommended for travelers who love traditional Japanese culture.

A Japanese feast that combines tradition and taste "Gion" Located in the historic Kagurazaka in Tokyo, "Irori Yakiniku Gion" is an 80-year-old traditional house that has been carefully renovated. Combining the name of Kyoto's Gion with Japanese style, it creates a space where people can escape from the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in Japanese aesthetics and the ultimate feast. This land was once the location of the old restaurant "Tachibana", which inherits the profound Japanese hospitality. Whether it is local guests or foreign travelers, they can feel the most sincere hospitality.

The restaurant's main focus is on the "hearth" dining experience, using Japanese beef, pork and chicken, including high-quality "Kuroge Wagyu" and "Kobe beef". With carefully selected seasonal vegetables and seafood, each dish conveys the chef's respect and attention to ingredients.

As for drinks, the store has a rich collection of Japanese whiskeys, including well-known brands such as Yamazaki, Hibiki, Hakushu, Chita, and many rare styles. There is also a magnificent "Japanese Whisky Wall" that is dazzling.

In addition, Gion also demonstrates unique taste in the selection of tableware, using all original tableware made from Mashiko ware and pairing it with wooden trays to enhance the overall dining aesthetic. The store’s interior decoration cleverly uses framed kimono belts and Japanese ink paintings of “The Moon” and “Red Fuji” to perfectly blend art and dining. "Kagurazaka Warori Yakiniku Gion" is not only a yakiniku restaurant, but also a Japanese cultural experience that combines history, art and top-quality ingredients ※Drinks and other expenses need to be paid on site separately and are not included in the product range

• Since the product does not include a tour guide, it is recommended to use a translation app on your phone to communicate with the geisha. Of course, if you are a VIP who can speak Japanese, you can communicate with the geisha more intuitively.
• Drinks and other fees in the restaurant "Irori Yakiniku Gion" need to be paid on site and are not included in the price of this product
• In Japan, after the geisha finishes her service, the guests (per group) need to pay at least 3,000 yen in tips to the geisha. The bar owner will prepare envelopes and teach the guests to pay tips in the geisha world. This is a very special cultural experience.
