If you are Japanese, then you can start by becoming an apprentice when you reach the age to be trained and become a ..Maiko..First you have to live and study in Japan where Geisha are trained.
read Liza Dalby's interview as the first and only westerner who became a Geisha.
I also read the book... Memoirs of a Geisha...the main character on the book became a geisha because she had no choice when her father sold her and her sister for the need of money.
in your case, you are still young and there are big difference now, as becoming a Geisha would also cost you lot of money and you have to give up some of your future goals..
Visit Kyoto where you see many Maikos, or you can have picture taken as Maiko or Geisha in kimono.. then decide later if this one is for you... 13 is not too late but too early. getting education is the best so far, then you can do whatever you want..

About 15 would be the absolute minimum age because it's mandatory to complete junior high school in Japan.

It's not too late. I've heared that you must be trained after finishing Junior High School.
Are you serious?
