Geisha are not prostitutes, traditionally or in modern times. They are paid private entertainers.
There is prostitution in Japan (it is not legal, but is also seen as a victimless crime, and not seriously pursued by authorities). Prostitutes in Japan do not pretend to be geishas to entice customers. If anything, they pretend to be schoolgirls.

I don't have enough knowledge about geishas to argue that.
But if they do or have ever sold their bodies sexually, they are ( Or were. ) indeed prostitutes.
Anddd you're intelligent but I'm not going to base my facts on geishas simply on what I've read here x.x orrr anywhere on the internet for that matter. I have a friend going to japan this summer who's going to uh real little geisha place thing to learn about them past and presently. So I rather base my opinion off that primary source.
