The neighborhood suddenly became a popular spot about two years ago, apparently after a photo taken in a particular angle showing Mount Fuji in the background of a local convenience store, became a social media sensation.

Another neighbourhood in Kyoto has also thought about outright banning tourists after having to deal with them just walking into people's homes. The neighbourhood is known for its old architecture. They're still private homes. It's nice you think the old houses look cool, you can't just walk into them.

Wait, what? If I learned one thing from JRPGs is that it's ok in japanese culture to just barge into someone's home unannounced, without knocking. Have they been lying to us?

And there's always a treasure chest in the kid's bedroom. Be sure to walk right in there and check it out.

Also check grandma's cabinet. You might find some rare and expensive ethers for free!
