42.68M visitors in 2025. Kyoto locals can't ride their own buses. Revenue (~$950M/yr) targets overtourism infrastructure.
But is taxing tourists the real fix?

We are loving some places to death.

Venice is sinking under our weight.

Locals protest tourism.

Trails erode from overuse.

We need to spread out and travel more consciously.

🏯 Kyoto raised its hotel tax up to 10x. Top rate: 10,000 yen (~$65) per person/night.
Budget under 6,000 yen? Still 200 yen.
Luxury ryokan? Prepare your wallet.
Kyoto is putting a price on protecting what makes it worth visiting.

A red-rock landscape as spectacular as Sedona's, with a fraction of the visitors. The catch: To see the most spectacular part of it, you have to win a lottery. :/ #travelsky #overtourism #vermilioncliffs #visitarizona
