    Another neighbourhood in Kyoto has also thought about outright banning tourists after having to deal with them just walking into people’s homes. The neighbourhood is known for its old architecture. They’re still private homes. It’s nice you think the old houses look cool, you can’t just walk into them.

      Wait, what? If I learned one thing from JRPGs is that it’s ok in japanese culture to just barge into someone’s home unannounced, without knocking. Have they been lying to us?
