Kyoto tourists to be fined for hassling geishas www.independent.co.uk

Kyoto in Japan has introduced an on-the-spot fine for tourists hassling geisha.
Now, residents have a hit back by imposing a fine of Y10,000 (£71) for anyone caught harassing geisha.
New signs were put up on Friday 25 October and leaflets were distributed reminding visitors to be respectful, reports The Telegraph.
Tourists are being told to get consent before taking a selfie with, or photo of, a geisha, and that they can only do this on public roads.
Some 7.4 million foreign tourists visited Kyoto in 2017, a more than fivefold increase compared to 2012.
