Beautiful Imposters　ニセモノ舞妓さん
Another shot of two tourists dressed as maiko, or apprentice geisha, sight seeing in Kyoto. Kiyomizu Temple. Many of the photos of "geisha" that tourists get while visiting Kyoto are actually of Japanese tourists playing dress up for the day. There are dozens of studios ready to transform even the most western-looking woman into the ideal of Japanese beauty for anywhere between $60-300, depending on the package. Many packages allow you to walk around outside the studios for a period of time to get the perfect photo momento of your trip to the ancient capital.

京都の清水寺でこの観光者は舞妓変身して写真撮っていました.　ふつはニセモノ舞妓さんの写真撮らないけどめっちゃきれいなあと思っていた。似合ったね。
