Journeys in Japan Season 17 Episode 19
Overview:
Niigata City, facing the Sea of Japan, prospered as a port of call for the Kitamaebune northern-bound ships in the Edo period. A crossroads of people, objects and cultures, it eventually gave birth to a distinctive entertainment district in Furumachi called kagai. Sheila Cliffe is invited into this hidden world of refined ryotei restaurants, as well as architecture, and highly skilled geigi performers in dazzling kimono. She meets people working to preserve this living heritage and also learns about the port town's history by visiting various landmarks.
