There are still dozens of geisha teachers training in traditional tea ceremonies, including " Lebana, Guqin, Gagaku, Kyogen, Maiko, and Bunraku". When you enter Flower Street, you will be greeted by an old-fashioned style: there are tea houses with exquisite facades on both sides, and wooden lattice windows and doors are closed... This is a mysterious path that runs from north to south, with a total length of about 1 kilometer. The northern part is modern, while the southern part is traditional. Both the north and the south have their own styles and trends.
