The Kisarazu Geisha House in Kisarazu City (Chiba Prefecture, Japan) provides insight into Japan’s past. Here, visitors learn the history of these artists, along with the head geisha’s efforts to preserve their vanishing craft. Geishas here also provide traditional dance and samisen (three-stringed instrument) performances, and invite visitors on stage for lively parlor games, including jan-ken-pon — a Japanese version of rock, paper, scissors.
