For Kyoto's own good and prosperity, they should close their doors to tourists for a while. I was just there for 4 days and I felt like if I was at Disneyland every second of my stay.
What a shame it turned into this. And yes, I know I am a tourist as well and this is not a self- entitlement rant. Of course it's always more enjoyable when you're one of the few tourists in the city while visiting, you get to appreciate the culture way more than with thousands of people yapping around you.
