      @@ttkoeda9954 It's also important not to spoil a small town with hordes of people and the traffic jam to get there. For example, Korankei is gorgeous in autumn but the insane flood of people and cars does not improve its charm. This is the difficulty of tourism--the balance of retaining the charm of a place while increasing the number of visitors. Instagrammers have polluted so many destinations now.

    Thank you, Sharmander, for showing us this. I really like the Kabuki theater, that was amazing to learn how they could put on intricate shows using only simple technology like pulleys; a real contrast to how plays are put on nowadays. I really liked that area with the steps, it was so beautiful with the colors of the leaves surrounding the area. You look very good in your Kimono; I bet that was a lot of fun getting to wear it.
