Ginza Komparu Street

The first street to the west off Ginza-dori from Ginza 8-Chome is called Komparu-dori. In the Edo period, this street was home to the estate of the Komparu school of Noh theater. The name was retained after the Meiji period as well in the street-name, Komparu-dori and the Komparu geisha, and exists today in the name of a public bathhouse, Komparu-yu.
