Tea ceremonyCultural experiences in Kanazawa — gold leaf, tea and teahouse districts in one dayKanazawa is the rare Japanese city where the three things you came for — a craft you can do with your hands, a tea culture with its own lineage, and intact geisha districts you can actually walk into — sit within about two kilometres of each other. Here is how to sequence a single day, what each costs, and why Kanazawa suits travellers who found Kyoto overwhelming.Kimono rentalKimono vs yukata — the difference, and which one you should actually rentA yukata is unlined cotton worn against the skin with a half-width obi and no socks; a kimono is lined, worn over an under-robe, with tabi, zori and a wider obi. That is the whole distinction — everything else, including price, season and how long it takes to put on, follows from it. Here is which to rent, when, and the one rule you must not get wrong with either.TokyoPhotography etiquette in Japan — where you can shoot, where you can't, and the ¥10,000 fine in GionJapan is broadly open to photography, with three sharp exceptions that cost visitors real money and real goodwill: Kyoto's Gion, where photographing geiko or maiko on designated private streets carries a ¥10,000 fine; temple and shrine interiors; and anywhere people are undressed. Here is the practical map, plus the one question worth asking before you raise the camera.TokyoOnsen etiquette for your first time — the full sequence, from the curtain to the changing roomNearly every rule in a Japanese bath follows from one principle: the bath water is shared and is not for washing in. Wash and rinse completely at the seated shower before you get in, keep the small towel out of the water, and you have already got 90% of it right. Here is the full sequence in order, plus the six mistakes visitors actually make.
