Don’t Do This in Kyoto

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow No, absolutely not. It's not okay for anyone to engage in that kind of behavior.

@romell Agreed. Asking for permission beforehand would be the decent thing to do.

@bijouxbroussard Horribly embarrassing. I just hope she's not an American, but she probably is. It's unacceptable behavior in any case.

@Magenta It certainly is.

@HootyTheNightOwl Think I read something about that. It's apparently been a big problem there and not limited to just an occasional tourist.

@Rutterman No, it's not an occasional thing. With a lot of the people who are doing it being white and English speaking, the Japanese think that they are English... so us English are getting the rough end of that stick.

There's no need for it... most of these geishas aren't even 21 yet. Just let them go about their day - they'd soon be throwing hands if a foreigner was approaching their 16, 17 or 18 yo daughter in that way, so why do it to these girls???

@MissBarbara that’s what I said first

@Monalisasmith86 Oh yes, so you did. I didn't see that when I posted my answer.

@MissBarbara Yes, I have noticed that. 😎

@Justmeraeagain That's right. It's obvious from the get-go that she didn't want her picture taken.

@Rutterman Some people are not too bright

@NerdyPotato No, they definitely are not. You'd think everyone would understand this.

@Rutterman you'd think, but apparently not...

@Monalisasmith86 Both have been the capital at different points too.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow so they went like hmmmm we don’t want Kyoto to be capital city so they named it Tokyo 😝

@Monalisasmith86 Yes, I did realize that. 😎

@WonderGirl I'm not sure. The woman telling her to knock it off sounded like an American, but it's not clear if they knew each other or were traveling together.

Yes, it was horrible.
