The TRUTH About OVERTOURISM in Japan | 1 Day Trip in KYOTO

Japan’s Streets are PACKED With Tourists, Over Tourism is running WILD! Or is it really? There has been a lot of news recently about this growing problem in Japan, but what is the reality on the ground in one of Japan’s most popular cities, Kyoto? I as someone that has years of experience living in the area I decided to test it for myself to see if the reality matches the reports; to test this ill take a typical 1 Day trip through Kyoto Visiting the 4 most popular tourist spots – Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Gion Hanami Koji Street & Kiyomizu Dera Higashiyama Area, so you can see what a trip to Japan might look like.

  1. Nice to see! Media really displays it all as if you'd be waiting for HOURS everywhere.
    Planning to take my girlfriend on a 3 week trip in April 2026 🙏

  2. Superb video! I always feel somewhat nostalgic seeing Japan even though i never go there, such a strange feeling

  3. are the japanese starting to resent the visitors??? like how the people in barcelona feel about tourists?
