good morning everybody so it is the last
day that we're staying in the Amato
hotel and we decided we wanted to stay
longer in Kyoto I'm just cooking the
breakfast here just put some oil in the
pan and I'm going to repack everything
and get going because today is a long
day and we're going to some really cool
place so tonight we're going to we're
going to have a special treat and I
can't wait for you guys to see it
because this is something that I haven't
done before and I've been wanting to do
for a really long time
new G's in the shower right now and we
are about to get going so I'll see you
guys in a little bit
[Music]
we were about to say goodbye to the
apartment hotel me Maru Kyoto station
which has been such a delightful stay it
felt like we were moving out because it
was an apartment hotel I loved seeing
the bullet trains go by in the morning
and I'll especially miss the relaxing
path there's so many different types of
rooms so check out their link below and
depending on how large your group or
family is you can decide on the room
type
[Music]
so we're going to the bamboo forest
which is in Kyoto it's one of my
favorite places because it's just really
beautiful and there's so many like paths
to take and everything we're just gonna
look around and shop oh my god those
owls are so so pretty oh my gosh
look the magnets
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
first time at this temple here and we're
going to go inside and take your picture
[Music]
let me put it here yeah it reminds me of
a mother to make you center
[Music]
Arashi ama is built on beauty and art if
you love shopping for souvenirs this is
the place to be
most things are handmade or made from
scratch and each item you choose holds a
lot of meaning to it they fell victim oh
no out of this it's what is it called my
my you my you is there okay you know
what that means
I forgot how do you guys oh hey okay
[Music]
this key company sushi place you saw
[Music]
okay so we're about to try kyoko beer
what it is we got two glasses in a
bottle here and yeah let's try it
I have a soy nut and egg allergy and you
would think it would be super difficult
finding somewhere to eat but as long as
I didn't eat any sauces and plain food
I was totally okay sushi is for sure a
safe thing to go for on a trip to Japan
with allergies there's the mascot of
Adachi AMA I get this shop so crazy I
like really don't want stuff in one jar
I like that that's a cute bag I'm not
auditioning hey I love EJ they're so
cute we should get a pink and blue one
having a Japanese fiance is great
because he knows where all the
lesser-known cafes and hotspots are
[Music]
this place is unique in which you can
grill Japanese dango so cool dango is
Japanese which is that you can have one
grill set comes with six dango sticks
and is about a thousand three hundred
yen Japanese adzuki bean paste and a
type of soy sauce to dip it in is also
provided the zookie bean paste was okay
for me and my allergies and the dango
was very filling so I got my Domino's
hot grill you can feel it it's so hot
then they give you some matcha tea which
I'm gonna be drinking both this is what
it looks like and you're supposed to
cook it on here and then dip it into one
of these sauces I'm only going to use
the odds of you bean because I can't
have this way
[Music]
okay somebody my first done I should dip
it into the zucchini
[Music]
depart
okay I'm so gonna turn it Oh No
good they also have a lot of other
Japanese sweets and treats to eat and
drink on the menu if you're interested
in trying them as well we're headed to
the kimono florists now take a look I
bet it's so beautiful at night though so
I'm kind of bummed that we're going now
but we have a dinner very special dinner
reservation the kimono forest in my
opinion is the most underrated tourist
spot in Kyoto it's located at London at
a Shyama station and at night it's the
most beautiful sight to see but we went
to see it during the day and it was just
as beautiful around 600 pillars make up
the so-called
kimono forest and made by the fabric
dyed for kimono making in Kyoto there is
one more notable off-the-beaten-path
place in Kyoto tourists don't know about
okay so we're going off the beaten path
right now - here we are
yokai streets which is a monster street
so it's basically a ghost themed street
in Japan and not a lot of tourists come
here that we wanted to check out the old
shops and see all the ghost figures they
also have an app which I cannot find and
but you can hold up the camera and
you'll see ghosts on the street so it's
kind of fun to play with but I don't
have the app and I can't find it I used
I had it before but it's gone so if you
guys can find it let me know yeah we're
gonna just explore a little bit and see
what they have there's one goes statues
of ghosts from Japanese folklore line
the streets around Halloween they have a
huge ghost festival where everyone
dresses up as Japanese spirits and
celebrate it's a very quiet and peaceful
section of Kyoto and I recommend it to
get away from the bustling crowds and go
for a unique walk they found the temple
along the way are these grapes like of
people yeah this is round 2 of my
battery being drained because this
probably goes here that totally drained
my battery there's a shrine across the
street this is the quietest place ever
okay the one thing that's interesting is
this town has music it's like I feel
like I'm in a video game wow this is so
beautiful
this is gorgeous this one school boy boy
cool
go ahead there's another ghost I found
another one
he's a happy ghost he looks like a like
a bed ghost we found another one
that's not a yokai these wow there's so
many there's one two three oh that's why
it's tools makes sense what all these
tools yeah I guess sound those are
mm-hmm
something they all turn into yokai
that's so funny
Ponyo Ponyo
kawaii
10:20 he's scary
his hands are cold his hand is like
up so is this a cheat you okay
we stopped to cool off at a nearby cafe
and then headed to the best experience
I've ever had in my entire life this
place was very cozy with amazing
parfaits but we opted for just coffee
and juice because we were going to have
a big dinner
[Music]
I didn't know what to expect but this
has been my dream for such a long time
we were invited to dine with a real
Michael and geisha who graciously
entertained us and kept us company we
were greeted by a professor of Japanese
history and translator who taught us all
about the life these women lead I have
never been so excited to hear and learn
about their stories and enjoy my time
with them I was so shocked to learn that
the woman without the makeup is the full
geisha you may be passing full geisha on
the street and never even know it
[Music]
the ornaments and the my clothes hair
symbolizes the house that she lives in
as well as the season we're in now so it
can change depending on the time of year
the professor told us that the Maiko is
in training for almost 6 years before
becoming a full geisha they're not
allowed to go out shopping or to the
convenience store and must be escorted
to their job they wear their hair the
way this Maiko is wearing it now every
day and even at night they must sleep on
a wooden pedestal like in the movie
Memoirs of a Geisha if you've ever seen
it and they aren't allowed to use social
media or cell phones
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
to see a dance like this up close and
personal is very rare and it made me
emotional because it seemed the dance
was telling a story I was also emotional
because I was so excited about this
opportunity
[Music]
after the performance we were invited to
play some drinking games with the Maiko
these games are called OHS ishiki sob
the first game was called confit de funa
funa basically an empty sack a box is
placed upside down between two players
and the Geisha sings a song as the song
progresses each player must tap or lift
the box in turn if the box is lifted
they must tap their closed fists on the
empty table the key to the game is to
get the other player distracted so that
they tap the table with an open hand
instead of with a closed fist the music
gets faster as the game progresses and
often the loser must drink from the sake
box
[Applause]
[Music]
Oh
[Laughter]
[Music]
the next game is called Torah Torah
Torah which means Tyger Tyger Tyger a
screen is employed and two players must
hide behind each side of the screen a
song is sung at the end of the song each
player must creep out from behind the
screen while assuming one of three roles
samurai old woman or tiger this makes
the game a very elaborate form of
rock-paper-scissors
old women beats the samurai with her
cane but loses to the tiger that eats
her the samurai cuts down the tiger with
his sword
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
after this amazing once-in-a-lifetime
experience we had something sweet to eat
and talked with the Maiko for some time
then we headed out the door to go home
