    Even at 6am, this serene place is filled with influencers. I only got a few shots without people in it. Nobody shows some consideration for other people taking pictures, walking up and down the street, filming reels for 20mins…

    Edit: it’s not the amount of people that annoys me. Kyoto is simply beautiful and many people want to see it. It’s the different attitude towards the points of interest I see compared when I lived here almost 10 years ago. Barly anyone visits the place, takes it in, make take some nice pictures of it.
    It’s almost always about people doing 15, 20 min photoshoots with them in fornt of something. It’s always about themselves, not the vista and most certainly not anybody around it. They also don‘t care about the local rules. Not talking pictures on private streets in Gion? Don’t care, I want some views. Same goes for people actively disrespecting the local culture for views, like the influencer doing pull ups on torii🤦🏻‍♂️

    Come and enjoy the vista, but leave nothing behind bur respect and adoration for the place

    It’s like people complaining about traffic while being in traffic
