After a quick lunch of clam chowder (small portion, but delicious), we jumped back on the bus to drive to the geisha district. We had a booking for Ochaya Shima, which used to be a geisha house but is now a museum. It’s a bit too popular. Upstairs everyone was packed into a very small room to hear a talk about the life of a geisha. Standing room only! I came out as it was so hot and sat down on a tatami mat in the adjoining area. I’ve read about geisha life in novels in any case.
