I just read about this. Apparently it’s been a rising problem for years that tourists are mistreating the Geishas and forcing them to stop for photos. What a sad time we live in where smart phones and social media have created hordes of mindless, disrespectful people. How simple minded do you have to be to act this way? Do you really think your photo is so special out of a sea of nearly identical photos? Truly, the iPhone was the death of photography and the beginning of true disconnect.
Does anyone know specifically which area/streets of Gion will be closed off?
