Holy shit this "over tourism" story on MBS here tonight is baaaaaad. We're in Kyoto and yes it's insanely crowded. Yes the Chinese tourists are annoying and don't follow the rules and that story was a not so subtle jab at them. It's also a three day weekend for Labor Thanksgiving and the majority of people visiting are Japanese, but the news seemed to completely ignore that. Aside from people harassing the maiko (holy shit that was bad tonight), it just seemed like an excuse for them to complain about the Chinese.
Everyone has been incredibly friendly to us and our daughter, but damn that story. WOW.
