JAPANESE SEAFOOD BRUNCH With GEISHA & MAIKO! RIVER CRAB Hotpot on River Boat

The umbrellas were so beautiful! Thank you for sharing that!

Mikey : When you're torn between wanting to devour the food on the table & needing to show respect & gratefulness to the geisha/hokan hosts 🤣. Didn't think I've ever seen Mikey's vidclip ending with so many food still on the table🤣

[@TheChampy2012]

I don't blame him at all. That would be so incredibly awkward especially when you are the only one being fawned over. And Mikey respects them. 😳 I think that's why he ate before getting on the boat. 😊

[@ankon33]

They were like ..no ! you will only eat what we serve!! They are really clever..they didn't let him finished because they wanted to eat the rest of the food...

[@carols3517]

I'm sure they ate the food when they finished taping. I don't think they would leave it.

@@TheChampy2012 no. I think he ate before getting on cuz he was hungry

Mike: the cheapest one, please

[@shazzali5156]

I don't know about you Mike, but if I've been given the attention & treatment like that, I'd be frozen, insanely awkward and definitely my tummy will not feel full 😅 it's an amazing experience to watch, at least we got some input of how those geisha works...thank you so much for sharing Mike 👍😍

[@zakeibc]

My stomach would be frozen like a rock I wouldn't be able to eat out of nervousness

[@benburrito9669]

Mikey is so lucky to have to visit 1 of 4 umbrella shop and meeting 1 of 8 male geisha in japan. Really a great coincidence having to meet the 2 in the same day😂

[@iwannatalktosampson]

Maiko is beautiful. The way she reacts to things are ridiculously cute.

[@TallGermanGuy]

Having this experience is absolutely insane, I would actually be in constant awe. Probably couldn't talk much.

[@TheChampy2012]

I so agree!! 👍🏻😳

[@Loneapee]

Just imagine the wind destroying your 2000 $ umbrella

[@heidimarchant5438]

It would where I live, the wind destroys normal umbrellas. It would get turned into a wall mount.

[@levitus._3507]

If I bought that umbrella. I won't use it for all my life but put it on my living room as an artistic feature XD

[@buffya8012]

I think the really expensive ones are ment for decoration not actual umbrella usage...at least I would display it and never actually use it

[@neuro-p2775]

I don’t think you use them when it’s windy, I think it’s more for sun protection

[@yakuza2123]

That thought gave me goosebumps

[@Ava_Orchid]

I could not imagine a more awkward and uncomfortable experience than that Geisha encounter...They are professional beyond belief but still. All that attention all on you would be terrible for me. Also eating without offering others is not my strong suit though I wouldnt want to be improper. I prefer to serve than be served

You need luffy in your life😂😂(actually I feel the same way)

[@connordickerson6815]

I agree, I hate to be the only one eating.

[@mayalonde1138]

normally, they would converse with you so it would usually be a lot less awkward. but here, they were forced to sit awkwardly because Mikey is filming

[@Painzert]

Watching this after I just got off of work, the umbrella's are a piece of art. The art of geisha's is interesting and culturally calming.

[@kantaria1138]

I need one of those Umbrellas they are GORGEOUS!

[@aprilanonymous7237]

I have two from antique shopping, but I'm sure they're not even the cheap $200 ones. I also didn't know some of them could be used in the rain. Im going to do some research on mine now.

[@juskai808]

I’m surprised Hollywood did not catch on to this. Umbrellas ☂ are so beautiful 👍🏼

[@taotzu1339]

@@aprilanonymous7237 The real cheap ones are made with paper and probably won't be much use against the rain, probably more like parasols for shading from the sun. Some of the more expensive ones are very well made and can be used in the rain as well as a sturdy weapon against ninja attacks, if needed. LOL

[@Rezzmari]

I have a regular umbrella and I am always too embarrassed to use it even when walking with the damn sun beating down on me... I really should though and not care what other people might think. Better than getting sunburned or sweating like a cow. >_

[@alvinarmandgalang8245]

I love how sir Mike feel uncomfortable when someone feeds him. But when he is in control, whether he's using stick, fork or spoon, he turns into a beast.

I lived in Japan for nine years, but never experienced that level of culture. This was a real eye opener for me. Thank you, Mike for giving us this insight into the Geisha experience.

[@Ms_Tania]

I loved this video so much!! I'm fascinated by traditional Geisha 'culture' (for lack of better word). It's often misunderstood and over the years it's been ridiculed,shamed and turned into something that it is just NOT meant to be. So watching your video and seeing it for the beauty that it is and the way it's meant to be is really appreciated. I always enjoy all of your videos as well as your other channels. :)

[@platterhof]

I like the drinking game. I know what to do this weekend with my southern comfort bottle.

[@spicysaltystickysweet6344]

I love the Maiko's eyes. She is so expressive and I think her make up just accentuates that.

[@bethdk7328]

[@lbednaz]

I find it interesting that the male Hokan is dressed very plain with no adornment and the female Geisha is elaborately dressed with full makeup and beautiful adornments! I never knew there were Hokan also, though with only 8 they are rare. The umbrella shop is really more like an art gallery with such beautiful designs! Those are pieces to display not use! TYVM for a fascinating peek at a side of Japan I have never seen before!

My grandmother was sold to a tea house when she was very young, where she was in training to become a Geisha. During WWII, my grandfather, an American in the army, was sent to japan to help with rebuilding efforts after the bombings. He met my grandmother at the tea house. Two years later, he paid for her freedom and they were married. My dad was their oldest of three children. I never knew her, as she died before I was born, so I find all of this incredibly interesting. My little brother served a church mission for two years in japan (Kyoto area), and my father was lucky enough to finally go to japan at his missions end. I think it meant the world to him. Thank you so much for sharing these types of videos. They help me feel more immersed in my culture. When they came back from Japan, my parents had bought each of us kids (there are 6 of us) authentic kimonos and my brother an authentic kitana. Arigato Gozimasu, tomodachi.
