ATAMI GEISHAS

Before the show, backstage of the Geisha theater in Atami. They came all dressed up and they spent some time chatting, smoking and correcting their make-up before they went on stage. Atami is about 1,5 hours by train from Tokyo and is concidered the second big geisha place after Kyoto. It is a hot-spring resort and the geishas there are many times called hot-spring geishas, suggesting that they are not real geishas because they often offer more intimate services.- ATAMI- JAPAN
