I'm a Californian living in Japan for a little more than 3 years conducting research. My first 6 months I rented a townhome on that "side street" immediately next to the Katsura river you initially tried walking down in order to get to the Bamboo Forest. I knew there would be tourists to contend with where I chose to live, but I never thought there would be so many during the daytime. Other than that, it was a great place to call home temporarily, especially when getting out in the early morning or evening.
@@OliBarrettTravel It was a beautiful location, except for all the daily swarm of tourists. Besides, I needed to move up to Tokyo for the next 9 months. I just relocated to Osaka for the final 2 years, using it as a base for the lower half of the country. I forgot to mention two things earlier - I did find the residents of Kyoto to be more "social" than Tokyo, largely due to the small town atmosphere (especially with the small plots of farmland in the city). And secondly, foreigners in Japan are required by law to carry their passports at all times (unless one is soaking in a hot springs where the passport could be kept in a locker), or a resident ID (Zairyu) card for long term visas. Visitors may be stopped at any time for an ID check by the police (which does occur as a means of finding illegal immigrants or those who have over-stayed their visas).
One thing most Westerners don't know about Japan's core culture is that being friendly is often considered rude there. (Of course, foreigners are the exception, but Japanese ppl don't or get used to behaving friendly) They value politeness a lot, and foreigners are kind of offended because they are not friendly enough and are so distant. But respecting personal space is very important there since Japan is an island with very little habitat land, so people have been living on top of each other for a long, long time.
I'm Japanese, but I'd like to say that your "Japan" is a figment of your imagination. In Japan, friendly attitudes from Westerners are welcomed, not seen as rude. There's nothing more appreciated than a human smile, anywhere in the world. Also, land shortages are a problem only in some big cities. Elsewhere, there's plenty of land, and it's practically free. In reality, there is plenty of land in Japan! I don't know where you're from, but I think you're just buying the classic myths about Japan.
Japan and other countries have different values, so we need to change our mindset. for example, in the United States, where there is poor security and gun society, people believe that it is good to behave in a friendly manner to show that one is not dangerous. if Japanese people were to go to America, I think it would be better to imitate American behavior. I think that is the greatest respect for the American people.
I think it is just a translation error, but I am sorry that sometimes I feel that your statements are a bit violent and complacent. Food hygiene is the most important issue in Japan, and it is taboo to touch food you don't buy too much.
Why is your friend taking your word serious for no reason literally... I mean chill. Your not making fun of others just stating what u think and you weren't even talking bad 😅
You need serious skill to live in Kyoto area. People there live in community more than 500 years together and not welcoming outsider that is how they inherited the tradition and culture. They never talk to you honestly, and very picky and not nice to you.
私、27:37から映ってるローソンでその日バイトしてた者です（パンの賞味期限確認してます笑）！！ずっと動画を追ってて、まさか京都にいらっしゃると思ってなかったから、びっくりしました。今後の旅もお気をつけて、日本を楽しんでください！
Haha wow!! What are the chances?!
それはおかしいです
駅員さんの英語コミュニケーション能力素晴らしい〜
日本を楽しんでくれてありがとう！あなたのカメラアングルとユニークなリポートが気に入っています。それに、あなたは礼儀正しく日本を理解しようと努めてくれていることがわかります。
いくつもの神経質なコメントがありますが、どうか萎縮せずそのままのスタイルで続けてください😊
あなたの視点とトークが面白いです。シェアをありがとう！
アップされるのが楽しみで楽しみで💛
ずっと動画追ってるんだけど絶対ICカード購入しといた方が良かったと思う

I can't imagine why you didn't extend the rental? 😆
It must have been a stunning place to live for a while!

The trash can is inside a convenience store If you can't find a trash can, find a convenience store
You must have walked and talked alot in this travel😂 I enjoyed how you explore foreign cities. Nice work👍
Thanks!
Kyoto is a wonderful place, but I always get tired of walking because I walk a lot.

@@001suisen4 Well I'm Japanese.. 生粋の日本生まれ日本育ちの日本人ですが、海外で働くようになってから、日本人の何が海外の人にとって誤解されやすいのか、そしてをれは何故なのかを日々考えています。
日本人が外国人のフレンドリーな態度をどう受け止めるかではなく、日本人の礼節をわきまえた態度がどう受け止められるか、について話しています。海外の人に対して、こっちが丁寧で礼儀を尽くそうとしているのに、シャイとか冷たいと捉えられてしまう場合が多々あります。それが本当は、日本人なりの礼節だということが伝わりにくい。なぜなら西洋では距離を詰めるフレンドリーが善で、相手のパーソナルスペースを慮って距離を置く日本式礼節にはあまり慣れていないから。日本ではレジの人にタメ口聞かれて、個人的な質問とかされたら、びっくりしますよね。
外国の人が日本人の行動、態度をどう受け取るか、という点において、日本人式礼節に基づいた日本人の行動への誤解が少しでもなくなるといいなと思います。

Im glad youre enjoing but Please do not ignore traffic lights
竹林などは今は観光客で人混みが凄いので、次回は早朝に行かれる事をお薦めします

So you re in maybe Osaka now. I live in Kobe. So we are in close place😆
Why did you leave your friends at the monkey park?
They decided to rest halfway, I wanted to carry on so that I could see everything in the short amount of time we had.
何十回と京都に旅行してきたけど、嵐山に
モンキーパークがあるの知らなかった😮
更新楽しみにしてます！

not 500yrs, 1200yrs.
京都に住んでるけど、海外の人は大歓迎だよ！
外国人のマナーは日本人より良くないと聞くので､つい不安な目で見てしまう
京都は外国人が多いせいで住んでる人が迷惑してそう
京都の人は同じ京都人同士や日本人に対しても争ってるので気にしないでください
日本語の訳がおかしいから
通訳変えたほうがいいとおもう。

なんとも残念な寿司の食べ方😅
