Journeys in Japan: 5x33
Into the Heart of Kyoto
Japan’s ancient capital Kyoto has a history of more than 1,000 years. Philippine TV host and athlete Andrew “Drew” Arellano visits for the first time to learn about its traditional culture. He undergoes a bit of spiritual training and also gets a rare invitation to observe the life of apprentice Geisha, called maiko. This episode of Journeys in Japan is a collaboration with a popular Philippine travel program. Film crews from both Japan and the Philippines worked together.
