I think I would be uncomfortable dressing as a geisha. Though I have quite happily dressed in a kimono, both times it was because a Japanese person went, "HEY! Let's see how this kimono looks on you!" Maybe I'd do it if I was with someone Japanese who also wanted to do it.
My indelible moment of visiting X landmarks was Rainbow Bridge. Largely because I had first attempted to read the manga in Japanese and, due to the very small furigana, misread it as "Rainbow Porridge."
