Japans Tourism has CHANGED, these are the new things you NEED TO KNOW before traveling to Japan.
In October 2023, Japan saw a whopping 2.51 million foreign visitors, an impressive 100.8% compared to the same period in 2019 pre-COVID times.
As discussed in my previous video, the impact of Overtourism is evident across Japan. In this video, I’ll spotlight the most significant locations affected. This information stems from official government reports, private news sources, and my recent travels.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK SIR. Your videos are helping us plan our February trip. Thank you.
I was planning a day trip to Kyoto. My plan was to arrive early (730 am) to the bamboo forest then to the area surrounding the art museum (which, I believe, the castle with the waterfall water people drink is nearby).
Thank you for the heads up. Will try to visit the sites early morning. (Kyoto).
Also do we need to carry the passports at all times or a copy will do.
These Recommendations are very useful.
Could you do a video about specific regions in Japan (for example Tohoku)
That needs more tourism.
I want to help reduce overcrowding, see unique places in Japan (where not everyone goes) and spend my Money where it is most needed.
Once again a good list to keep in mind.
It does seem that Kyoto is taken most of the impact of overtourism at the moment.
I'll try to get there at moments when it's less crowded.when I'll be there, but it all depends on my schedule.
