Virtual Kyoto Countryside Tour
Channel: Forever Kyoto
Date: 05/06/2019

Take a personal guided tour of some of the more interesting and less visited areas of Kyoto from someone who has lived in the Kyoto countryside for over a decade.

There is a rising issue of tourist concentration in Kyoto - the most popular spots are too crowded and the locals' hospitality is starting to show signs of deteriorating. So Forever Kyoto is hoping to show you some places to visit to avoid the crowd and at the same time spread the tourism to local communities.

Eric is a professor in the Department of Global Tourism in the School of Global Engagement of Kyoto University of Foreign Studies.
