Oh my gosh, even I got super emotional watching the maiko dance and hearing the geisha play the shamisen. I bet it's considered weird behavior to cry, I don't know if I could keep it together if I was there in person!! This is a lifelong dream of mine as well, to have the geisha experience. So incredible!
Thank you so much for your videos. Watching your videos has become somewhat a routine for me and I love to watch them while I’m eating my breakfast in the morning before I have to get ready for work. You have such a relaxing and warm vibe about you :) thank you queen
I’m so glad you got to experience meeting a geisha and maiko. Thanks for sharing that experience with us. I’m falling more and more in love with Japan🥰
You are living the life! I love your videos and living vicariously through you two. Wishing you two all the happiness in tbe world...im planning my next vacation ....to Japan due to your videos..cannot wait!
Amazing missing Japan now. I don't know why people thumbs down this maybe jealous of you. Keep making your vlogs and I will keep watching. It gives a good idea of how daily life is in Japan and reference to where to go the next time I am in Japan.
Kelly, so far, this video was my favorite because of your dinner with the Geisha and the Maiko-san! Just like you, I'm an old softy, yes, I cried, as well. The Maiko-san's performance touched my heart! Thank you so much for sharing your special dinner with us! One of my trips to Kyoto I got to drink matcha green tea with a Geisha and her accompanied Maikos. It was a short visit that I had with them but very beautiful none the less. Can't wait to see the last video of your trip to Kyoto! Also, looking forward to seeing more videos of you and your fiance. Take Care, Guys. Peace.
What a wonderful experience - to learn a little bit of Geisha training. So very fascinating, heart-warming, incredibly intimate, but unifying. Lovely, truly lovely. Thank you so very much for sharing. I so love and am fascinated by Japanese culture and appreciate every little bit of information - and again, LOVE the sharing.
I've read so many books and watched documentaries about geisha and maiko, I'd absolutely love to experience what you guys did so I can certainly understand how excited you must have been (also I would have cried during the performance as well!). The traditional signing and dancing are so unique and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing!!! ❤️
Japanese Yokai folklore stories are my favorite!! I'm a huge anime lover, and for some reason I'm really attracted to Anime with demons in them. I'm realizing a lot of anime's really incorporate the folklore into their story line and personalities of the demon. So cool! thank you for sharing
Kelly, this was so amazing to me, so I’m sure your were just totally amazed and speechless. Such a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing this! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Every region of Japan has its own dialect, every prefecture does, to be precise. Kyoto is in Kansai region as Osaka is, so broadly speaking, Kansai ben (dialect) is spoken in both prefectures, although if you break it down, Kyoto ben and Osaka ben are quite different. All Kansai dialects have the same intonation which is very different from that of the east.
The general dialects are Kansai been in Kyoto, Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, etc. But each prefecture will have differences only spoke on that area. You get the generalized commonalities in regions like Kanto speaking generally standardised Japanese, but you'll get differences in prefectures from Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, Saitama, etc. Every prefecture has is own dialect, but the generalities will be included into the lump category of regions because of similarities they share. Like Kyushu dialect includes all prefectures of Kyushu, but each prefecture within has it's own differences, like Hakata dialect in Fukuoka. The dialects can even go as far as each city could change very slightly, making the amount of Japanese used in the country so vast, many Japanese don't understand one another in some terms, phrases and accents. Thus, you see a lot of subtitles on TV here to make sure people understand clearly what's said.
Ghosts street!!! I thought I'm never gonna see one of this in the land of rising sun but here I got kelly' video struck me like god!!! What can be more interesting than this street!!! 😆😆😆
Love kyoto, can’t wait to get back there and experience the cherry blossoms of. One of my fave part of Kyoto is the shopping area just a few blocks away from THE MILLENNIALS KYOTO is amazing. The otter cafe a must along with the Edo period Starbucks. Love your videos of japan can’t wait to see more
That was such an amazing experience! Memoirs of a Geisha was honestly one of my favorite movies. It was so beautiful, emotional and touching. I can seriously understand why you were crying. I would've done the same.
That was SO COOL!! First video I’ve ever seen of a geisha... that has to be by far the best part ! Thank you so much for sharing this! I learned so much! ✌🏻💕
This was the best video ever. I loved seeing the maiko and the games. I would be more interested in their daily life and follow a maiko on "a day in the life of" type videos!
Love this video, you guys did an awesome job explaining the areas and the places that you went to great job; hope you do a Halloween video, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.
Amazing! It's so rare to get an inside look at what it's like to dine with a Geisha - can't even imagine what it costs. I was actually surprised (but grateful) that they let you film it!
This was an exceptional video. Very well done and I related to being emotional as I probably would have been as well. I’ve been to many places that you have and saw many more that I will need to try next time I visit.
Yokai street is near our house . If you try to head down the street , you would find a river filled with orange trees clustered with hundreds and hundreds of fruits .
Wowww the best part I like the most was all the video 😎 so interesting. I loved it :) watching your videos just made me keep saving up money to travel japan soon 🤭
I only spent a day in Kyoto this March and saw 1 geisha and it was an incredible sight to see. To have an experience like you had is a dream of mine. I need to return to Japan soon!
Ya! They talked about how tough it is to walk around because while they’re working, many tourists run to take photos :( it kind of broke my heart a little
LoveLyzKelly I read that too and its really sad. We stood back and just watched the Geisha walk past and not bother her out of respect. She was so graceful it was mesmerising
Hey Kelly! Was the experience with the Geisha only possible for being with a Japanese person? Is it something that a foreigner could easily access to? It looked so beautiful. I'm going to Kyoto soon but I don't speak any Japanese at all :(
Oh my gosh, even I got super emotional watching the maiko dance and hearing the geisha play the shamisen. I bet it's considered weird behavior to cry, I don't know if I could keep it together if I was there in person!! This is a lifelong dream of mine as well, to have the geisha experience. So incredible!
As well as the experience itself, it is knowing that there are centuries of stable tradition behind it.
Such an amazing experience! The time you spent with the geisha and maiko looked so fun. So glad you shared the experience with us.
Thank you so much for your videos. Watching your videos has become somewhat a routine for me and I love to watch them while I’m eating my breakfast in the morning before I have to get ready for work. You have such a relaxing and warm vibe about you :) thank you queen
I’m living in Japan, but never been to such a place, need to put onto my travel list. いつもありがとうございます😊
I’m so glad you got to experience meeting a geisha and maiko. Thanks for sharing that experience with us. I’m falling more and more in love with Japan🥰

they are Koreans. they have huge anti Japan groups and against all blogs concerned Japan. they are so jealous.
見てるだけでも楽しすぎた、、、ありがとう☆
I loved the games! What a wonderful experience!

I've watched so many Vlogs and this vlog is easi;y one of my favorites! Very informative with just amount of personal touch! Thank you very much!!

That was so fun to see! Looks like a wonderful time! 💖💖
What a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing info, and a couple of spots I've added to my bucket list!
I went to Kyoto city last year.
Togetsu bridge(渡月橋) is so beautiful.
Didnt know that Kyoto had their own dialect as well! I only hear about the Osaka one a lot :D
Ya I didn’t even notice until Ryuji pointed it out!
Every region of Japan has its own dialect, every prefecture does, to be precise.
Kyoto is in Kansai region as Osaka is, so broadly speaking, Kansai ben (dialect) is spoken in both prefectures, although if you break it down, Kyoto ben and Osaka ben are quite different.
All Kansai dialects have the same intonation which is very different from that of the east.
Kyoto ben spoken by women are flowery and sounds the prettiest.
The general dialects are Kansai been in Kyoto, Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, etc. But each prefecture will have differences only spoke on that area.
You get the generalized commonalities in regions like Kanto speaking generally standardised Japanese, but you'll get differences in prefectures from Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, Saitama, etc. Every prefecture has is own dialect, but the generalities will be included into the lump category of regions because of similarities they share.
Like Kyushu dialect includes all prefectures of Kyushu, but each prefecture within has it's own differences, like Hakata dialect in Fukuoka. The dialects can even go as far as each city could change very slightly, making the amount of Japanese used in the country so vast, many Japanese don't understand one another in some terms, phrases and accents.
Thus, you see a lot of subtitles on TV here to make sure people understand clearly what's said.
Most of them do. Just thing about as the US has different accents.
love your videos so much kelly 💕 always look forward to them
お座敷遊び、楽しそうですね。京都に住んでいるのですが、1度も体験した事がないので羨ましいです。
You guys are so awesome. Thank you for the videos. So humble and I love it.
Ghosts street!!! I thought I'm never gonna see one of this in the land of rising sun but here I got kelly' video struck me like god!!! What can be more interesting than this street!!! 😆😆😆

Kyoto!!! Have u ever like got a chance to see the home of "haru and sora"! Which is supposed to be somewhere in the rural area in Kyoto!!. 😍😍😍
That was so wholesome!
Yokai street is near our house . If you try to head down the street , you would find a river filled with orange trees clustered with hundreds and hundreds of fruits .
That was so nice too see thank you Love video 😎and music
My favorite part was the Miako and Geisha portion, that was so incredible.
Always look forward to your videos :)
Do you have to carry an epi pen with you with those allergies? If so is it an expensive for an epi pen there, the US is very pricy for it.
Love it!
So beautiful!!! The town looks like its straight from totoro or something!
Wow! What a luxury and fun day you experienced in Kyoto^^!
You are so lucky , an osashiki with Kamishichiken Geiko and Maiko . It looked so exciting .
The game at the end with the sake box was so fun ^^ I’d be so bad at that haha
I loved the "rock, paper, scissors" game you played! That looked like so much fun!
Did the dongo contain cane sugar in it? I’m having trouble with processed cane/brown sugar
Loved the video! How did you book the dinner with a Maiko - or what company did you book with?
Fabulous
Very interesting. Surprised they let you tape. Thanks for another top-notch video. Blessings.
wow that was amazing and informative! can't really find that unique stuff on youtube :)
Wowww the best part I like the most was all the video 😎 so interesting. I loved it :) watching your videos just made me keep saving up money to travel japan soon 🤭

Omgosh so amazing!
I swear Arashiyama was in Oregairu anime!
Do you guys know "Paolo from Tokyo"? He's filming and uploading from Kyoto same time you guys are! Would have been funny if you ran into him!
Do you have to grill the donggo? Or is it just a more appealing option.
John Go grilled.
Awesome!
