It was so kind of you to make this special arrangement for us. And our hosts at the tea house were most gracious and hospitable. We are truly grateful for having this precious glimpse into a mysterious and unique part of your culture! Karyna. On Sep 28, 2016, at 8:11 AM, Karyna Shuliak < Thank you Joi!

There is no dress code but you already know about tatami and zabuton at Tawaraya. Short skirts and tight pants are not comfortable, I think. Minoya 94 Sueyoshicho MM. Oct 29th Thursday at 7pm Please contact us if there is anything we can do. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

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, Thank you so much for the offer, it is very kind of you! Thursday the 29th would be perfect for us. > wrote: Thank you very much!!! Karyna. P.S. 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! - Joi EFTA00572477
