Kyoto, I've seen an older tourist literally stop 2 young ladies in kimonos by holding their hand out in front of them in a stop signal then pull out his camera and take a picture. Not once did he ask them. Treated them like they were characters at Disneyland.

And that's why foreign tourists are no longer allowed on certain streets there. They ruin it for everyone.

Funnily enough, the two ladies in kimonos were probably tourists too, although maybe domestic ones. It's a common thing in Kyoto to pay to get dressed up in traditional garb and tour the sights.

Even the characters at Disneyland have specific meet and greet areas where you're supposed to take photos.
