Soft shell turtle is a dish you can get in Japan. It's also somewhat common in the south in the USA ... I liked the soup but was not impressed by the meat. I think the company made the meal more enjoyable.

Kyoto locals are fed up with tourists dragging giant suitcases onto packed city buses.

• Kyoto officials have urged visitors to avoid bringing large suitcases onto city buses
• Locals say buses meant for daily life are becoming impossible to use during tourism peaks
• Tourists argue buses are often the cheapest and easiest way to reach hotels and attractions

The problem exploded as Kyoto’s narrow streets and aging transit system struggled under tourism pressure.

Now the debate is getting intense:

Should tourists adapt to local transport rules — or should cities handle the tourism boom better?
