I'm not sure, I've heard conflicting things. You could do some research here:

and here: http://gojapan.about.com/cs/japanesegeisha/a/geisha2.htm
A good start would be to learn Japanese, if you don't know it already. Even if you don't qualify to become a Geisha, knowing Japanese would still be an excellent skill.

If you went to Japan and applied at a Geisha house you might be able to. Your parents would have to sign you up. It is a very demanding program though, lots time spent in classrooms and of course you would have to study and be fluent in Japanese.

No, unless you have some oriental descent...no.
And you realise they are basically "women of the night" but in a glorified version!
