Not really sure if there is a universal way of western travelling but during sakura Kyoto was a bit like Rhodes or Chania. Too many English and French (speaking) and western-oriented souvenirs everywhere. We walked 10+ hours in higashiyama and didn't felt this artisan spirit. We didn't went to the North though.
On the other hand, we were amazed by Kyushu (cities and rural towns).


ps. When I saw this fake "thing" the first time in a guide, I developed a negative feeling about this town. It reminded me of Emirates cabin.
