I live in Kyoto. I see so many tourists, especially the American and Chinese ones, who harass and touch the Geishas without consent. One time, a tourist family came into our garden of our house to take pictures of our house. We Kyoto people are sick of tourists behaving this way.

They have little time to spare because they often are on a strict schedule going from one tea-house to another and if they are often booked, it means they're going for a full day's work.

I can cite examples: Tourists are cutting corners by trying to stay outside and squatting in temples and shrines for free to avoid hotels to have food money, they bargain bin for their meals at conbini stores, tourists are cheating fares on bullet trains to ride for free and telling people on social media how to do it, and they frequent Ramen shops. These folks are not spending much of anything. The economy is breaking even but not getting ahead and this was just from the recent economic nationwide study two weeks ago. The tourists cost more to the country than what they put into it. Cleaning up behind these litter hounds. repairing damaged property, and disrupting the daily life of the locals who cant get to work due to overtourism. Yes they are contributing alright . Contributing chaos to a tranquil nation. The only entity making out like bandits are the airline industry. Not Japan. They spend everything on airfare and then live on a discount when here. With the USD overpowering the JPY, there is hadly any money being spent in Japan.That is why they are here, Its cheap.

Agreed, this is respect for the geisha that we do not touch them. But bend to visit the district that means we not longer can see those traditional housing and environmental. This is very sad. I fell in love with Kyoto since my first visit last mid-July. I would like to visit Kyoto again this year.

Do we need to sit for an exam and take courses before travelling to other countries? It seems that some people thinks that they're privileged to be disrespectful and disregard of people cultures and personal space. I was there in Kyoto I didn't touch random people. When they say no photo, no touching or for food I remember - dip in sauce (Shin sekai if I remember correctly) just once etc. How is it that hard to understand? We are just visitors, we have to abide by their laws and rule.

Why are people touching other people without permission? People are annoying

Don't touch people without their consent. How hard is that?

Sad how a nice place to visit had to be spoiled by bellends who don't know how to behave like adults in public. I think it's worth remembering that people who'll harass strangers for pictures or touch their hair would likely be as equally dumb and disrespectful in their own home countries. It's depresses how this always seems to happen to countries that are as tourism friendly as Japan is, they really do want people to visit! I've never understood people's inability to conduct themselves in public.

I don't think they suspect that I know Japanese to some extent, but since I do, I was able to hear these xenophobic opinions in public. Surprisingly, Japanese people despite having a culture of respect and discipline aren't aware of how the world has changed and that it's not uncommon to find people who are multilingual visiting different countries and especially Japan.

A full grown adult doesn’t need to be told that they shouldn’t touch other people without their consent. It’s extremely baffling how certain individuals get offended when you tell them this. Most tourists are full grown adults and it’s sad that most of them from various parts of the world do not understand basic consent. As an Indian myself, I am ashamed of other Indian tourists choosing to partake in this. In Indian culture, it is pretty common for people to touch the faces of other people especially when the person is youthful. This is quite common until today because of the Indian drama shows that always have those types of behavior. Regardless of where in the world you come from, let’s choose to respect other people’s boundaries and stop treating them like property or a toy doll. This is the modern era. Thank you.

I thought they are Kyosi warrior from Avatar the last Airbender

To dear Kyoto, stop plastering and advertising Geishas like they are not a living being. Its really not a Tourists fault. Kyoto should do something to protect them.

Making this seem like a "Westerner" problem is dishonest and misleading - at least it is not as bad as SCMP last video where it tried hard to pin it on the Westerners even in the narration. I'm a tour guide living in Kyoto for about a decade now. Whenever I have to do to a hanamachi tour I always instruct my clients to imagine their own female relatives in the shoes of the UNDERAGE maiko and that helps immensely. After so many years, I can honestly say that it's overwhelmingly Chinese and Israeli tourists that are the worst offenders. The only times I saw tour guides actually actively encourage vile behavior (e.g. "camping" outside okiyas at the door, closing off alleys so the girls can not pass, blocking them from getting in a cab etc.) was with Israeli tour groups. Chinese tourists are also quite bad, disrespecting private property, intruding into private premises of ochayas for a selfie, sticking their cameras into the doors and windows of local buildings regardless whether they are private residences or tea houses (both horrible), harassing the girls etc. Now let's see how long before this comment gets silenced.

I guess he was rich because the school completely allowed it, even the groping. He was never held accountable. It was so beyond the behavior of everyone else.

I love geishas, the culture, the clothing, and I wanted to be a geisha when I was younger. Which is 1 of the main reasons of going to Japan. But now I’m reconsidering, I already watch videos of foreigners not being liked much (because some foreigners don’t know how to behave) in Japan and that there’s some places foreigners can’t go into. But that didn’t bother me cuz those places I didn’t care for but this is the one thing I wanted and it’s taken away from me.
