Short skirts and tight pants are not comfortable, I think. Minoya 94 Sueyoshicho Higashiyama-ku Oct 29th Thursday at 7pm Please contact us if there is anything we can do. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

How about 7pm? 2016/09/26 8:40• Joi Ito < S Jt — wrote: OK, we'll arrange the 29th. Keep the evening free. We'll get you instructions, etc. Basically, you will go, they will feed you. (Hopefully, you have no food allergies right?) You will be accompanied by geisha (In Kyoto, they are called "geiko") and Maiko who will hang out with you. After the meal, they will dance for you. You can ask them anything, about Kyoto, their lives, their art, food, etc. Many of them are very funny and interesting. Some don't speak English well, but some do. :-) - Joi On Sep 26, 2016, at 8:38 AM, Karyna Shuliak Hi Joi, > wrote: EFTA00572467 Thank you so much for the offer, it is very kind of you!

I wanted to thank Mizuka again for the hotel recommendation in Kyoto, we just arrived today, it is such a special place..

Can you tell me what evenings you are free. Mizuka will try to arrange it. They have to do some arrangements. The best "typical" evening includes a dinner and then drinks with geisha and maiko including traditional Japanese dance. Does this sound good? Tell me which evenings you are available. Thanks!
