The Ochaya (tea house) is where all of the patron activities take place. here, we would find our Maiko and Geiko entertaining by; telling tales, dancing, singing, or making presentations about Japanese culture. As a general rule; a first time customer is never allowed inside of the ochaya "Ichigensan" without a proper introduction. On our sim, we welcome anyone and do not discriminate.
Inside of the Ochaya you will find a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. A stage dominates the room with golden screens; for our Maiko and Geiko to perform for you. Each lacquered table features sake, tea and the most delicious treats for the honorable guest.
Every ochaya room has a tokonoma also referred to simply as toko, is a Japanese term generally referring to a built-in recessed space in a Japanese style reception room, in which items for artistic appreciation are displayed. In English, tokonoma is usually called alcove. The items usually displayed in a tokonoma are calligraphic and/or pictorial scrolls and an arrangement of flowers. Bonsai and okimono are also often displayed there. The scroll featured in this image has the kanji of "iki" which is the Japanese aesthetic all Geiko follow
