Yes, a true Geisha girl is engaged in such a cultural job as not only singing, dancing but enjoying witty conversation with a guest wearing traditional Kimono. I had no chance but charge could be ten times expensive.$100.00 for a half hour ??
If we're talking about what I think we're talking about , I don't think it would be $100.
It was about 1500-2000 yen when I was in the same area, Kokura, in 1967.
The exchange rate then was 360 yen equaled 1 dollar. So about $4.50 to $ 5.50.
$100 in the middle to late 40's would have been more that what most enlisted men were getting paid a month.
My first paycheck ( for a month) in the USAF was $88.00 in 1965.
I might have seen a few real Geisha girls while in Japan, they certainly weren't dressed like those ladies.
A real Geisha is a respectable, cultured and educated woman with great charm. They were a bit like the old-time airline stewardesses- good- looking, friendly, and nice to be around..$100.00 for a half hour ??
