I noticed a couple of “Don’t Enter”/”No Photos”/”Please for the love of god behave yourselfs” signs in my neighbourhood and honestly, I understand.
The lack of awareness that a lot of tourists seem to have is crazy.
Our community did the same a while ago. It’s the right thing to do! Tourists, regardless if domestic or international ones have no business to linger in an area that is only residential without sightseeing spots or tourist accommodation.
Complete non issue. You’re a tourist not a resident. It’s not that difficult to respect the locals.
Isn’t it about people setting up Airbnb’s in quiet residential areas?
Support this 100% , whats your issue with it?
What’s the issue here??
It says 民泊反対 and talks about staying, but I feel a lot of people misunderstand this as not being allowed to even be in that area?
This is mostly about opposing turning residential buildings into holiday rentals. This means that very often people only stay there for a night or two, might come and go really late, might not be there on trash day.
Very often people who run these buy run down properties in cheaper neighbourhoods.
I’m already annoyed by my neighbour‘s kids screaming and shouting in their garden during their vacation, when I finally got a day where I don’t need to wake up at 5am. If I imagine adding tourists in their 20s on top of that…
It’s honesty a fair request. Tourists CAN’T even get into my neighborhood to disrespect the space, it’s a gated community.
Why is it unfair for a Japanese neighborhood to ask to be left alone?
I think it’s fine. Kyoto is overcrowded by tourist that I don’t really like going there despite the awesome views. Can’t imagine the life of locals there trying to live a peaceful life. I live near the Kansai Airport and it used to be crowded by tourist (mostly Chinese) which behaved really badly that I’ve seen locals (cashiers, staffs) obviously getting annoyed by them.
My wife told me yesterday that chinese people are buying houses and renting them out as air bnbs to get the business visa. Dunno how true that is.
Because there are a ton of illegal Airbnbs without permits being operated by citizens of a certain country.
And yet another horrible translation causes Japan to go viral.
This is about “staying” at illegal Airbnbs, they are NOT telling you to leave the surrounding area. Feel free to wander around and have a good time. I 100% support their decision on that. I understand.
But come on, can we please hire actual native speakers to do these translations? Or would that go against the anti-foreigner sentiment? 😂
Minpaku are cancer.
We need some movement like this in Okinawa. In my area nine have emerged in the last year within 500m of our home and some mistake our home for Airbnb and park in our drive. It beggars belief that there isn’t more planning regarding this.
The sign is incoherent because of the confusing melange of messages in different languages.
But local residents and communities should have a say in whether or not AirBnb and its operators should be able to push itself unregulated into previously quiet local areas.
The person who printed this sign obviously feels like the increase of airbnb rentals has disturbed the neighborhood. Issue like trash, litter, roller luggage, late light noise, loud talkers, and probably others are legitimate. It sounds like they want more intervention from local government and are frustrated with the pace of increasing Airbnb in the area. Nothing explicitly racist or anti-foreigner from what I see.
Local kyoto is traditionally is even quieter and more reserved than other parts of japan. Many long time Kyoto owners see themselves as stewards of these historical districts and that neighborhood character should be protected.
I mean, Kyoto is extremely overcrowded with tourists, you can barely walk. I can understand why they want to keep tourists away from residential areas.
with some of the tourists I’ve encountered in the last week alone, I don’t blame them
Same signs everywhere in Spain.
Good, I support Japan.
Sure, that’s acceptable. Stay somewhere else. Every neighborhood is a spectacle to us. It’s very unusual. Give them some space. It’s also a message to operators.
Thanks, Tiktok morons.
I understand because chinese people starts minpaku business at my living apartment I live,which is prohibited minpaku.An apartment is residencial only rule.
we have poly the common garbage poly bag signed city name but tourist does not use them.
So everytime their garbage was left with note “please use a city’s garbage poly which you can buy at a store. ”
tourist does not know about it.
It is a one of the issue in Japanese sociaty.

Is there a question?
What part of town is this?
