The Paradox

Arlan, Liwen, Eun Kyeol, Jacob

Crowded Kyoto street

7.4M

Kyoto foreign tourists

Empty Himeji Castle courtyard

450K

Himeji foreign tourists

Same UNESCO heritage. Same authentic Japan.

But one is suffocating from overtourism... and one is dying from being unknown.

What if Himeji's "problem" is actually its biggest selling point?
