Summary: Amazing experience where you can meet a real life geisha in Japan! It was fun and I learnt a lot about Japanese culture. The performance and traditional teahouse games made me understand more about Japan back in its old days. There were translations so you don’t have to worry about not understanding Japanese. Definitely a once in a lifetime thing to do when you visit Japan!
