Geisya, Arima Onsen is the only place in Hyogo prefecture where you can meet geisha.
They visit hotel or ryokan and perform traditional dances with shamisen (traditional music instrument) and songs, and also play traditional game with you. Geisha have worked very hard on their singing and dancing lessons. While you walk through the back alleys of Arima, you might hear the sound of shamisen or singing when they’re practicing. |
