KYOTO—City officials are attempting to combat a return of graffiti marring Arashiyama’s bamboo forest, one of Kyoto’s most beloved tourist destinations.
Definitely planned for next time. This time we went south to Fukuoka (already very few tourists) and rented a car back to Tokyo, staying in smaller towns. Highly recommend.
Go north. Hardly anyone goes to Tohoku and there’s so much to see

Go in early Aug if possible. The Tachineputa festival in Aomori is the best in all of Tohoku. Kanto festival in Akita is up there as well.
