The issue in Japan with "overtourism" right now is that all these places that are flooded with tourists are busy making themselves less and less attractive, when what's really needed are policies that make the tourists go to the places that badly need them.
The Mayor of Himeji wants to increase the price of admission to Himeji Castle for overseas tourists. Tickets for all over 18s are currently 1000 yen. The Mayor says this is around $7 and the tourist price should be more like $30.
