This summer, a street corner collection box, usually used by households to dispose of used offerings during Obon, was spotted overflowing with general garbage at a famous tourist spot in Kyoto City. A woman who sent the information to the Kyoto Shimbun along with a photo said, "I was very disappointed to see foreign tourists putting their garbage in the wrong place." Walking around the town revealed the struggles of local residents coexisting with the bustling inbound tourism, as well as future challenges.
