@sunnyinkyoto_32: Things you shouldn’t do when visiting Kyoto. 😇🇯🇵⛩️ If you visit one of the Geiko districts in Kyoto taking pictures of them from up close is actually considered VERY disrespectful. Don’t invade their personal space, don’t make them feel uncomfortable. I know it’s very special to see them, but please be respectful towards them. 🙏🏼 They’re just girls on way to work. Let’s be nice to them. #Japan #Kyoto #Geisha #KyotoJapan #JapaneseCulture
The same thing happened to me in Kyoto, I just wore a rented kimono and so many white tourists took pictures of me right in front of my face (mind you, I’m not even Japanese I can’t even imagine how they must feel)

Legitimate question, as a foreigner visiting and I see this happening, would it be seen as okay to step in and reprimand the other person taking photos or would it cause more distress? I really would love to experience Kyoto and its traditions respectfully

Im just asking and i would like to know. Is it okay to take their photo with permission? Like "Hi, sorry to disturb. Can i take a picture with you?" Something like that?

😅Why? It's just pictures. It's not insulting or anything. Nothing wrong. People travel from so far, you never see them in our country.

I blame ordinary Japanese (my wife included!). They should wear beautiful kimono more often, then this would not be such an unusual sight.
