While I don't like it, it's not hidden either:

There should definitely be an option to disable this for self-hosting, but if it's just a counter for how often each tool is used by all users combined... Eh...

(Stirling also has something similar)

True. Especially the more "popular" temples are only open during regular hours, though.

In any case, I don't doubt that you can have lots of fun and have the city for yourself at early hours!

Why not open a PR to make it configurable? The maintainer is super active and friendly.

Yeah but then most of the things people come to Kyoto for a closed.

Not saying I disagree.

If there's specific things you want to do that happen to be in Kyoto, I agree. I just think (somewhat from personal experience) that going to Kyoto because that's what you should do on a Japan trip is a bad idea.

Interesting. We really enjoyed Tokyo, but spent most of our time there in smaller, out of the way areas. Absolutely loved it.

Though my favorite memories are from a super tiny seaside town (no public transport, ended up there because we misread the map) in the middle of nowhere.

I mean... that's a pretty memorable trip, no?

Oh, and while I'm at it: do not trust any food recommendation written in English. Good or bad.

If you travel to Japan, honestly just... Skip Kyoto. It is so full of tourists (national and international), you cannot possibly imagine unless you've seen it.

Sure, there's a lot of impressive temples there. But so is the rest of the country.

We were lucky enough to spend 4 weeks in Japan earlier this year, and if I could do the trip again, I would straight-up skip Kyoto and Osaka.

Rent a car, drive in some random direction. You'll he a lot happier, it it will actually be your trip. By far the best memories coke from places not in any travel guide.

Thanks for the recommendation! That looks interesting indeed.

This entire topic is probably a sinkhole of complexity. It's great to have somewhere to look for inspiration!
