Tucked between Kenban Yokocho and Oguri Street on the west side of Kagurazaka-dori lies Geisha Komichi — a narrow, winding alley once walked by geisha heading from their office, known as the kenban, to their evening engagements. This historic passage is also known as the Atami-yu Stairs, named after the nearby public bathhouse Atami-yu.
Though only about 20 to 30 meters long, this short lane is lined with acclaimed eateries, including a Michelin Bib Gourmand–awarded Spanish restaurant and refined Japanese dining spots that radiate traditional charm.
Framed by stone steps, wooden facades, and modern storefronts, Geisha Komichi transforms as night falls. Gentle lights begin to glow, casting a soft, romantic atmosphere over the alley. With its nostalgic air and picture-perfect views, it’s an ideal place for an evening stroll—camera in hand.
