Nara is well-known for the birthplace of many traditional arts such as gagaku, noh and Kyogen, but few people know those have been continuously handed down to younger generations by the collaboration of the authorities (temples and shrines) and the commoners.
In the north east side of Naramachi-Town, we can enjoy a small, cozy and simple Geisha Museum freely open to the public, where you can get an insight into Geisha culture, its history and its contribution to the community.
