Miyama Town in Kyoto, one of the three major thatched-roof houses villages in Japan, is known as the “Little Gassho Village” and has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years. Facebook fan page “Shushu Freedom Institute“Recently it was revealed that a group of Taiwanese group tourists ignored the warning signs when visiting, and threw snowballs and played loudly in residential areas. Not only did the fairy tale scene turn into a vegetable market, but it also destroyed the peace of local residents.

A Taiwanese woman working in Japan published an article on the “Shushu Freedom Institute” to record some of the behaviors of Taiwanese tourists that rarely made her angry. She wrote that after arriving in Miyama Town that day, she went to have lunch first. She heard from the store that Taiwanese group tourists would appear starting at 2:30 p.m. She wanted to avoid the crowds, so she immediately set off to walk in the village and take photos. The sporadic independent travelers I met also visited quietly.

But the fairy tale atmosphere changed once the group arrived. After seeing the group members, she wanted to distance herself as much as possible and hurried to take photos of the aerial scenery. Unexpectedly, the group members were traveling very fast, making noisy noises and even having snowball fights along the way, which turned the fairy tale world into a fairy tale world. Vegetable market. Even though she deliberately stayed away from the crowd to take pictures, the children in the tour group not only yelled “Someone is taking pictures!” when they saw her passing by, but also started a snowball fight around her.

“The snowballs were still flying around, and the adults didn’t stop them. Then a snowball hit me, and my sanity was cut off.” The child said “Ah, sorry” with a playful smile, but the adults didn’t say anything. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where is your leader?” The child laughed and said, “The leader is missing.” She then warned her sternly: “There is a sign here saying no playing, please keep quiet, don’t you know?” Only then did she say: The adult told the child to stop making noise, but did not apologize for the interruption.

The fanzhuan pointed out that Meishan Village, which preserves dozens of thatched houses with a history of at least 150 years, is actually a place where residents live, not an amusement park that charges tickets. Coming here is like visiting other people’s homes, and the principle of respecting local life should be followed. She can play in the snow in a large open space at the entrance instead of chasing and making noise between houses and other tourists. She feels helpless when adults remind her and educate her when she feels uncomfortable.

She also reminded that Taiwan ranks among the top tourists in terms of number and spending power of tourists visiting Japan, and proper courtesy must still be observed, otherwise the rude behavior of a few people may affect the quality and image of tourism for the majority of people. She does not think that there are rude people in all countries, but this time we met Taiwanese tourists. We don’t need to compare with other countries, as long as we do our own thing, that’s enough.

This article resonated with many netizens. “I encountered a similar situation last time in Arashiyama, Kyoto. I was so embarrassed.” “When I went to Tohoku before, I also encountered Taiwanese tourists who were very exaggerated. Things placed at the door of the villagers were destroyed by them. Feel free to use it to take photos.” “The most noisy people traveling to Hokkaido early last year were Taiwanese tourists. No wonder the waiters at many attractions were very impatient with Taiwanese tourists.” “Many people feel that they have the most money there because they have no regard for politeness. “Etiquette and rules” and “The key lies with parents and adults of all kinds. I hope everyone can discipline themselves.”
