This is a trash headline and complete click bait
Tourists are not being banned from the geisha district
Tourists will be FINED if they enter PRIVATE STREETS that are not meant for or prepared to handle the tourism industry
The geisha district will remain open to tourists. Full stop.
Sky News is garbage
Thanks, I figured this was bullshit but I wasn’t going to click a Sky link.
“I’m doing my part 🫡”
I don’t know, that headline was pretty clear🤔
It’s a Starship Troopers reference
Sorry I was just being cheeky
All good. One can never quite tell over text heh
A sign will say in both Japanese and English: “This is a private road, so you are not allowed to drive through it.”
It is aimed mainly at pedestrians, not cars, as the Japanese wording refers to generically “passing through”.
I’m sure there will be no confusion.
You know Japanese’s reputation for hentai is real when they have open signs in the street aimed at pedestrians riding each other, horsey style.
It is mostly Chinese tourists in the Geisha district.
Damn, I can only imagine how obnoxious chinese influencers are.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tourists are to be banned from parts of Japan’s famous geisha district in Kyoto following complaints of “overtourism”.
“Kyoto is not a theme park,” said the local council amid discontent about over-zealous visitors with cameras hoping to snap a glimpse of the famous geishas.
Geishas are professional entertainers who are trained in various traditional arts including dance and music and are an iconic part of Japanese culture.
Visitors crowd the narrow, quaint streets of the area called Gion in Japan’s ancient capital city, often following tour guides who show people around and lecture for long hours, according to local district official Isokazu Ota.
The district’s public streets will remain open to tourists, so the area and the rest of Kyoto will still be teeming with visitors, both from Japan and around the world.
Complaints about “overtourism” began years ago, but cooled somewhat when the COVID-19 pandemic brought numbers of visitors down.
The original article contains 240 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 37%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Bad bot. You omitted very important information. The headline is click bait
How to shoot your tourism appeal in the foot with a 12 gauge:
Edit: I read the article (ugh, sky is shite. That’s minutes of my life I won’t get back.) and admit that the headline was bullshit. I’m ashamed that I fell for it.
Or read the article instead of the bullshit click bait headline
Reading articles? That sounds like communism to me. /s
Know who read articles?
HITLER
Probably an effective way to get them to read it given their victim complex about being white.
Much like the propaganda outlet responsible for the bullshit article, your white victim complex is pathetic. Sack up, and stop being so easily conned by obvious bullshit - there’s plenty of real issues to worry about without the need to invent new ones to cry about.
-Regular white dudes.
