On April 5th, 2017, Yumeyakata’s Beniko-sensei appeared on Asahi TV’s “Kiyoshi – Kuroda no Kyou mo Hee-Hoo” (Today again, Kiyoshi and Kuroda will be surprised) show! This variety show is aired every week from Monday to Wednesday at 10:53 am, aiming at learning more about society in Japan. The personalities, Mr. Kiyoshi Nishikawa and Mr. Kuroda (AKA Messenger) make a tour with a guide (the Hee-Hoo sensei) to different places according to the theme.

On April 5th, the theme was “Kyoto in Spring”. Beniko-sensei, our former maiko who is very knowledgeable about Kyoto, appeared as the guide on that day! She took Mr. Kiyoshi and Mr. Kuroda to her favorite shops.
