  1. Very interesting to hear all the facts about the Geisha's in Japan, I didn't know it was such a long road to become a real Geisha, must be fascinating to see a real one, but indeed most likely you run into a fake one like me, when we where in Japan we saw many posing for pictures, they must have been the fake one, but at least they were available for some good shots 😀🌞 Big thump up my friend! 👍🌟🌞

  2. Very interesting video and so detailed about Geisha, their lives,how to find them and how to recognize them! I surely did not know all these staff! I liked very much the street view too!
    Top work my friend! Looking forward to your next!
    Friendly greetings,Leftis

  3. Wow that really was amazing to hear all about the Geisha. You really gave a great talk on them and cleared up so many misconceptions that i had about them ! I didn't know that it was 5 years training and that it cost so much to spend time with one . Liked how you called yourself a cup noodle eating backpacker 😄 That was so so interesting , thanks 🙂 👍👏 ~ Anna

  9. Geisha is one of the special cultures unique to Japan..
    It is a very special experience to experience the culture of another country and understand the life there.
    Thanks for sharing.. Really enjoy watching.

  10. I am sure that it's a matter of time until you will go viral my dear, your videos are better and better, this one was extremely captivating, and you presented it so well, you provided so much information that I had no clue about and you made me curious about geishas. I will start travelling in winter and maybe I will do it full-time this time, I just need to find the right way to do it as I have a mortgage to pay as well. But I feel that my soul wants to travel and share stories from around the world so yeah, we will see what happens. Back to you, interesting that Geishas still exists as such, and they even start at 15 years old and it takes a long time to actually become one, wow, impressive! I almost want to go to Japan and try becoming a geisha in 1 month, how cool would take be (a video like that I mean) 🙂 OMG they cost a fortune, definitely for wealthy people! Yes, one would need a loan to hire them! True, they are business women after all! ha,ha fake geishas! ''Begging'' for attention! Beautiful video, you smashed it Tom! Well done!
