We have had an amazing day……Nara was our first stop where we fed the deer, saw the 5 story pagoda, went to the Daibutsu and challenged ourselves through Buddha’ nostril.
Behind the Giant Buddha, is a hole that is the same size as his nostril.
We had 15 students and 2 teachers accept the challenge with 100% success rate…..Yatta !!!!
Our next memorable activity was a private meeting with a Maiko-san. Maiko are training Geiko (in Tokyo called Geisha). Our Maiko-san is called Tomitaai. Tomi is from her Okaasan’s teahouse, TA means abundance and AI means love. What a beautiful name.
Our group with our lovely Maiko-san and a beautiful moment captured when she gave out business cards.
Thank you Saizen Tours for organising such a fantastic experience :-)
Last we went to the area where ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’ was filmed.
A fabulous way to end a perfect day.
