What the Absence of Inbound Tourists Showed Us -- Linguistic Landscapes in Kyoto during the Pandemic --

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Until around 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic, most well-known tourist destinations around the world have suffered from so-called "over tourism," in which an overabundance of tourists negatively impacted the lives of local residents and the natural environment. In Japan, Kyoto is a prime example of this phenomenon. The author, living in Kobe, has been a frequent visitor to Kyoto and witnessed the rapid increase of inbound tourists a few years before the Tokyo Olympics, which were to be held in 2020. The main streets and subways were crowded to such an extent that local elderly residents needing bus services had difficulty getting in or on to those public transportation vehicles. In 2020 and a few years after that, Kyoto looked almost deserted like other cities of tourist attractions. The number of international tourists, as well as domestic visitors decreased suddenly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and government measures against it. The author had planned to go abroad from 2021 to 2022 to conduct research on linguistic landscapes, but was obliged to stay in Japan due to travel restrictions and the suspension of visa issuance. Therefore, while taking sufficient measures against infectious diseases, the author took advantage of this period to conduct several linguistic landscape surveys in Kyoto and other areas in Japan. Although many tourist attractions, restaurants, and stores were closed, there were some positive aspects, such as smooth access to places that were previously too crowded to visit. In this paper, the author will report on the linguistic landscapes in Kyoto under COVID-19 and discuss how things should be in the future.
