1) The Geisha Okiya
This is located in the back of the Hanamachi near the Garden. This is strictly for Geisha's, maids, and the runner of the Okiya to use. Guests are not permitted to be back here. Geisha are not allowed to bring their clients back into the Okiya.
Each Geisha has their own rooms, as does the owners of the Hanamachi. Maids and works share one to two rooms.
The Owners of the Hanamachi are the people in charge. Everyone must listen to them. The Geisha can order the maids around but must listen to the Owners of the Hanamachi.
Remember, Geisha are not Prostitutes!

Bath House:
Here is where clients come to relax and be entertained by Geisha. Even though men and women bath together in the same hot springs, located in the same room, there are different enterances to the spring. Males have their own dressing room to adorn their bath robes, and females have their own seperate dressing room. So, Males, you will not get to peek at the ladies as they sink into the hot water. The water, like in all natural hot springs is murky. So there wil be no peeking either. If there are any reports that anyone is copping feels and being nasty, you will be removed from the guild. The hot springs is pumped from theground into the bath house.
