This was something we always wanted to experience. And, our Geiko was absolutely amazing. Her years of dedication and sacrifice were obvious. Awesome! Our tour guide made the experience really come together.
Amazing!

We thank Taiga very much for its explanations and the translation of our questions from English to Japanese. It was a taste and artistic experience in the presence of a beautiful maiko apprentice. I recommend this service even for English novices.
