How to find GEISHA and other 🇯🇵 Kyoto culture in Japan
It’s our second day in Japan's historic city of Kyoto and we’re about to pack five thousand years’ worth of authentic sites and bites into just a few hours. From samurai tea to shinto shrines. From alleyway foods to dancing geisha. And all from our home base at the Four Seasons Kyoto.

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

The cabs in Japan are so cutie.. Whoaaaa I saw the tori gate in my dreams few days ago. Hahaha. I remembered it. So my dream brought me there. I have no idea that was that place. Lols! Again again again. NO SKIPPING OF ADS for the Lockwoods. Their videos are always amazing. Keep on supporting them.

husband speaking age 80, sorry so late putting in a comment, I have been so busy. I have Matcha Tea each morning and Wasabi is one of my most favorite meals when we go out in Cebu. Even in Everett, you can find a fairly good similar meal. A great video - even I know what some of the food is.

Did u guys stay there with inspirato?

Not this trip. They don’t have properties in their portfolio in Japan right now. However, we still use Inspirato as a travel agent even when we stay outside of their portfolio. They help us find great hotels at prices we aim for. Plus they book our in country flights when needed. It’s a great way to have an extra safety net when we travel and they can get out the airlines that will cause extra expenses for things like picking seats and checking bags.
