【DAY IN THE LIFE】27-year-old/Tokyo Maiko Geisha【Japan】

Do you know a job called "Furisode san"?
In Japanese hairstyle, white makeup, and kimono, they dance and entertain customers in banquets.

Just like Geisha or Maiko in Kyoto.
In Asakusa, a popular sightseeing town,
they call these ladies "Furisode san".

Today we are with 27-year-old "Furisode san", Tomoko's day in the life.

If you wish to enjoy their service,
it's usually quite expensive.
It's one form of entertainment for celebrities.

However, there is a place where you could fully enjoy their service at a reasonable price.

You could experience the service "Furisode chaya" at the famous Japanese restaurant " Towada" in Asakusa.

Today, Tomoko is working at "Furisode chaya".
She entertains customers with her conversation and dances in a beautiful kimono.

She is also a big OTAKU of anime, and dreams to become a voice actor. She will tell us why she became an OTAKU and show us her house filled with anime goods!

Hope you enjoy Japanese culture and lifestyle through her DAY IN THE LIFE!

Hi, I'm Ken.

This channel introduces you to Japan’s culture and lifestyle
through my own lens as someone who was born and raised here in Japan.

I’d like to cover both positive...
and not-so-positive aspects of Japan that are authentic.

You will surely see the real Japan of today!

By the way, I ride HONDA Super Cub.

I hope she gets the opportunity to be a voice actor in the anime industry. We’re rooting for you!

Nothing could've prepared me for the room of her dad, that was incredible hahahah

[AidanK_ART]

it's refreshing that some people in your videos in their late 20s have some kind of dream unrelated to their current job. In my country, 27 years is considered a fairly respectable age at which a girl should already be married, have children and a permanent job that she will not change. I am 27 and still not working at my dream job, still not married, I have no children and I dream of changing country of residence. In my country, it is considered too late for me to change anything, because I will soon be 30. But I watch your videos, and some people at the same age have not yet achieved their dreams and are striving for it too, and this is considered normal. It inspires and gives me hope that it's not too late for me either.
Thank you!

I love the “Day in the life” series and I really enjoyed this video! Wishing the best for Tomoko and I hope she will be successful in achieving her dreams!

[bluesevern]

She is so calm and elegant. I hope she gets to voice act. Also can we please have a video of her dad? 😍

[Strange_Boyyy]

Who's watching this in Dec 2023? Ken, this is a very good Day In The Life video! I really enjoyed this. Great work. 🙂

Working online, sitting and lazing around the house for a couple years - I forget how busy some peoples days can be! I need to get off my butt. lol

So fascinating to see her day! Thank you for showing us!

[dhirenrai]

Without a doubt, this is one of the best videos you have put out in my opinion. So fascinating to see traditional and modern interests coming from one individual. Hope her dream of becoming a voice actor comes true.

Shoutout to the wife for being so cool with the father having a room decked out in his passion.

[Hulalulatallulahoop]

I think this "Day in the Life" is my favourite to date...it was really fascinating!! I watched that game that Tomoko played (with the cup) on an English cooking show where two chefs went to Japan and even then it looked great fun! I'd love a follow up on Tomoko in the future. Many thanks, Ken and Erica.

I can see that you are never too old to be a man of culture. That anime room is amazing.

[jemandjemand]

i like the not over the top enviroment she works in. just a normal restaurant with normal people. quite relatable

[mikeseven]
