Ever want to dress up like a geisha? Spend a few hours at Henshin Maiko (website) and be transformed into a geisha or maiko (geisha in training), with gorgeous studio pictures to prove your transformation. Don’t want to get the full makeup treatment? We all hate joining tour groups, but the HIS experience group in Tokyo offers an interesting option to dress up in a kimono (without the makeup) and walk around Asakusa’s Sensoji Temple, taking pictures along the way. Sign up online here. Sorry – no boys allowed. Send him off to attend
