No Japanese No Service
“I’m on a holiday. I’m there for the experience, right? But there are other people living their lives. My experience just intrudes in their lives, basically.” says Rutger, a Dutch man who visited Kyoto as a tourist. Rutger and (host) Kaho Koda visited Kyoto together back in 2018.

First, we look at the foreign tourists’ experiences and then we take a look at the Japanese perspective.
