There aren't many Japanese people here, so I want to see this.

這裡的日本人不多，所以我想看看這個。

And things like vandalism and litter becoming commonplace throughout the city.

破壞他人財產和亂扔垃圾等現象在整個城市屢見不鮮。

Kyoto's infrastructure simply can't keep up.

And once-sacred sites have changed into mere tourist playgrounds.

曾經的聖地變成了遊客的遊樂場。

But with all of this, are foreign visitors still welcome?

但是，有了這些，外國遊客還受歡迎嗎？

With news and social media highlighting every misbehaving tourist and some Kyoto streets even completely banning non-locals from entering, the situation could look pretty helpless from the outside.

新聞和社交媒體對每一位行為不端的遊客都進行了重點報道，京都的一些街道甚至完全禁止非本地人進入，從外表上看，情況似乎很無奈。

It's estimated that well over 20,000 of these buses flood the streets of Kyoto annually, offloading hordes of tourists that plug up the city's narrow streets in waves.

據估計，每年有超過 20,000 輛這樣的巴士湧入京都街頭，卸下成群結隊的遊客，將城市狹窄的街道堵得水洩不通。

These human traffic jams make physical movement through the city a near impossibility for not only people, but vehicles as well.

這些人為的交通堵塞不僅使人，也使車輛在城市中的實際通行變得幾乎不可能。

It's just too many people packed into one space.

They can't move around their own city, even if they do manage to get on one of the very crowded city buses.

他們無法在自己的城市裡走動，即使他們設法坐上了一輛非常擁擠的城市公車。

With herds of people comes a herd mentality, which when you get right down to it is basically just people turning off their brain.

人一多，就會產生從眾心理，說白了就是人都不動腦子了。

These guys were frustrated, and the longer we talked, the more they shared.

這些人很沮喪，我們聊得越久，他們分享的就越多。

But it got so heavy that I actually had to cut most of their interview.

但他們的訪談太過沉重，我不得不刪掉了大部分內容。

I approached them after I saw them go off on a tourist for smoking outside of one of the designated smoking areas, a major stress point for many Kyoto locals lately.

我看到他們對一名在指定吸菸區外吸菸的遊客大打出手，便上前詢問。

Now these two gentlemen clean public toilets for a living, and with one of the worst jobs you can imagine, you will see the worst of humanity.

現在，這兩位先生以打掃公共廁所為生，他們的工作是你能想象到的最糟糕的工作之一，你會看到最糟糕的人性。

And so I went in search of a more balanced take, but it didn't quite go as planned.

於是，我去尋找一種更平衡的方式，但事與願違。

During the pandemic when Kyoto completely emptied out, I came out to meet some of the locals and hear their thoughts, and I met the sweetest old lady right here.

在大流行病期間，京都完全空了，我出來見見一些當地人，聽聽他們的想法，我在這裡遇到了最可愛的老太太。

I've come back several times to see if I could find her with no success.

我曾多次回來看能否找到她，但都沒有成功。

But there's a gentleman up here, I'm going to ask him if he knows anything about her.

不過上面有位先生 我想問問他是否知道她的情況

And the more people you get crammed into one area, the more issues you're bound to run into.

擠在一個區域的人越多，遇到的問題也就越多。

Incredibly popular tourist spots like Fushimi Inari Shrine are really starting to suffer from this overcrowding and the problems that come along with it.

像伏見稻荷神社這樣人氣極高的旅遊景點，確實開始受到過度擁擠和隨之而來的問題的影響。

Years ago, I met a woman who has spent her entire life living on Fushimi Inari Mountain and became good friends with her and her son.

幾年前，我認識了一位一輩子都生活在伏見稻荷山上的女士，並與她和她的兒子成了好朋友。

The thing I'm most concerned about is, this is a shrine, right?

我最擔心的是，這是一個神龕，對嗎？

So you can sit in front of the shrine, eat food, that sort of thing.

是以，你可以坐在神龕前吃東西，諸如此類。

So this is a tourist spot, but it's also a shrine.

是以，這裡既是一個旅遊景點，也是一個聖地。

Yeah, I don't really sit in front of the shrine.

They've been coming here since around 5 in the morning.

他們從早上 5 點左右就開始來了。

They say the mountains and the birds are really nice.

他們說，這裡的山和鳥都很美。

They've been coming here since 5 in the morning.

That's why I can't say anything bad about them.

Young people and people like that still come here to eat.

年輕人和諸如此類的人仍然會來這裡吃飯。

Now, you might not believe this, but Japan is not a naturally clean country.

也許你不相信，但日本並不是一個天然清潔的國家。

If you take a peek at this photo from 1968, litter and garbage used to be a serious problem in Japan.

如果你看一看這張 1968 年的照片，就會發現垃圾和廢棄物曾經是日本的一個嚴重問題。

Things didn't start to change until just before the 1964 Olympics, and even then, areas like Tokyo were described as a polluted mess few people wanted to visit.

直到 1964 年奧運會前夕，情況才開始發生變化，即便如此，東京等地區仍被描述為汙染嚴重的混亂地區，很少有人願意前往。

In fact, it took over a decade of government-driven mass cleanups, education, and public campaigns to address the issue and create the pristine and clean image that Japan has today.

事實上，日本花了十多年的時間，通過政府推動的大規模清理、教育和公眾運動，才解決了這一問題，並創造了日本今天的純淨形象。

Now, garbage bins do exist, but admittedly, they are few and far between, and even locals think that the city should be doing more to increase them.

現在，垃圾箱確實存在，但不可否認的是，它們少之又少，就連當地人也認為，城市應該採取更多措施來增加垃圾箱。

Kyoto City should have put garbage bins here.

京都市應該在這裡設置垃圾箱。

But instead of increasing public services, the city is much more focused on trying to manage tourism numbers by making Kyoto more expensive to visit, doing things like hiking the existing hotel taxes to as much as 10,000 yen per person per night, or even introducing expensive tiered pricing for foreign visitors, an approach that many feel isn't addressing the key issues.

但是，該市並沒有增加公共服務，而是更加註重通過提高京都的旅遊成本來管理旅遊人數，比如將現有的酒店稅提高到每人每晚 1 萬日元，甚至對外國遊客實行昂貴的分級定價，許多人認為這種做法並沒有解決關鍵問題。

But with coming out to Kyoto right now being so expensive, and with just learning Japanese being a stress point for so many people, I wanted to take a quick second to thank Migaku for backing this video and making it possible.

但是，現在去京都的費用非常昂貴，而且學習日語對很多人來說都是一個壓力點，所以我想在此感謝 Migaku 對本視頻的支持，使其成為可能。

Many of you have actually said that you already use Migaku, but if you're new to it, it's basically a multi-language learning tool or platform.

實際上，你們中的很多人都說自己已經在使用 Migaku，但如果你是新手的話，它基本上是一個多語言學習工具或平臺。

Of course, it has all those usual things like an app and flashcards and all those normal things that you would want in a language learning system, but it's got one tool that over the past couple years I have become almost dependent on.

當然，它也有所有常見的東西，比如應用程序和閃存卡，以及所有你想要的語言學習系統中常見的東西，但它有一個工具，在過去的幾年裡，我幾乎依賴上了這個工具。

It's this browser extension that connects directly to my Migaku account and allows me to learn from things like subtitles on TV shows and anime or even text-based blogs and news sites, and I can create flashcards directly from there that link right into the app in my Migaku account.

它是一個瀏覽器擴展，可以直接連接到我的 Migaku 賬戶，讓我可以從電視節目和動漫的字幕，甚至是基於文本的博客和新聞網站上學習。

Like, I use a lot of Japanese blogs for things like finding abandoned or hidden spaces.

比如，我經常使用日本博客來尋找廢棄或隱藏的空間。

For example, when we found the hermit living out in the bear-infested village.

例如，當我們發現隱士住在熊出沒的村子裡時。

And every single time that I come across a word or phrase that I don't know, Migaku gives me a quick rundown and allows me to save it to my flashcards to practice and review later.

每當我遇到不認識的單詞或短語時，Migaku 都會快速告訴我，並允許我將其保存到閃存卡中，以便以後練習和複習。

In fact, I can do the same thing with my study materials or a Cessna manual, even a menu.

事實上，我可以用我的學習材料或賽斯納手冊，甚至是菜單做同樣的事情。

And this is exactly why I wanted to share it, because it fits naturally into my life and doesn't feel like I have this extra task.

這正是我想與大家分享的原因，因為它很自然地融入了我的生活，並不覺得我有什麼額外的任務。

Migaku has also offered a very big discount on the lifetime plan, so I will put all that information down below.

Migaku 還為終身計劃提供了一個非常大的折扣，是以我將把所有資訊放在下面。

Huge thanks to Migaku for supporting us in this, and back to our regularly scheduled programming.

非常感謝 Migaku 對我們的支持，現在回到我們的常規節目。

Part of these issues stems from the fact that Japan has a lot of cultural norms that just aren't as common overseas.

造成這些問題的部分原因是，日本有很多文化規範在國外並不常見。

Things like standing to the side of an escalator, or not eating while walking, or even something as simple as not harassing Japanese locals on a train while repeatedly screaming Hiroshima Nagasaki.

比如站在扶梯邊上，或者不要邊走邊吃東西，甚至是不要在火車上騷擾日本當地人，同時反覆尖叫廣島長崎這樣簡單的事情。

But all that aside, even small things like physically touching a sakura or cherry blossom tree can be seen as very taboo in Japan.

但拋開這些不談，在日本，即使是身體接觸櫻花或櫻花樹這樣的小事也會被視為非常禁忌。

And yet it's something we see all over the place in places like Kyoto.

然而，在京都等地，我們卻隨處可見這種現象。

And while this does have the potential to offend or upset some people, many Japanese locals jump at the opportunity to teach something about Japan or Japanese culture and give it a little more thought.

雖然這樣做可能會冒犯或惹惱一些人，但許多日本當地人都會抓住這個機會，多花一點心思來傳授一些有關日本或日本文化的知識。

If it's written all over the place, you can't touch it, you can't touch it, you can't touch it, but if it's written in a place you don't know where it is, you don't look at it.

如果寫得到處都是，你就不能碰，不能碰，不能碰，但如果寫在你不知道在哪裡的地方，你就不會去看它。

You can't just hang it on your nose, right?

Because the culture is so different, people in Asian countries can just follow the sakura or cherry blossoms and take them home.

由於文化差異很大，亞洲國家的人們只需跟著櫻花走，就能把它們帶回家。

Ten years ago, in Kyoto, a person who was teaching at a temple would put momiji leaves on a plate in front of the restaurant.

十年前，在京都，一個在寺廟裡教書的人會在餐廳門口的盤子裡放上 Momiji 樹葉。

And because of that, it became a problem to bring the momiji leaves from the temple.

正因為如此，從寺廟裡帶 Momiji 樹葉就成了一個問題。

The priest of a Japanese temple would tell the person up there to bring the leaves, and he would bring the leaves with the branches, and he would apologize.

日本寺廟的祭司會告訴上面的人把樹葉拿過來，他會把樹葉和樹枝一起拿過來，並表示歉意。

In the end, it's not about the culture, it's about the manners.

說到底，這不是文化的問題，而是禮儀的問題。

In fact, when you get deep enough into any of these conversations, most people actually have an incredibly balanced view.

事實上，當你深入到任何這些對話中時，大多數人的觀點其實都是非常平衡的。
