My dad and I go to Japan. It was AMAZING. I can't friggin wait to come back!

In this video, while still in Kyoto, we make our way to Gion and visit the Yasaka Shinto shrine. After my dad and I bid our farewells to Madoka, we arrive at a restaurant where we are able to meet and observe Maiko and Geiko. It truly was surreal seeing them in person. They are so graceful and dainty yet poised and dignified. It was everything I expected and more! The Maiko and Geiko who entertained us were Maiko Fukunae (who has now retired as of November 2016) and Geiko Fukuteru. I was the first to be called to play Konpira Funefune (a drinking game) with Geiko Fukuteru so was nervous haha. Unfortunately, I have no footage, but I was able to win! She tried to fool me a couple times! Others weren't so lucky haha. After an amazing night we headed back to Tokyo on the Bullet Train. The next morning, we took another Bullet Train to our next location, where we met our next guide Kayoko! From there, we took a ferry to Miyajima. Once there, we immediately encountered friendly sika deer! We also checked out Senjokaku Hall!

A million thanks to Miwa, Madoka, and Kayoko for being absolutely amazing guides and all around wonderful to be around! You guys are incredible! ❤️
