Indeed.

There are two issues I have with this. First is that, as others have pointed out, it's full of frowning people - what a great way to welcome tourists. The second is the behaviors there. How many tourists are going to rent a bike, then ride around drunk on it? How many are going to make a restaurant reservation, then not show up? The only people I ever really see taking train pictures are Japanese guys (to be fair, I took a picture of Doctor Yellow when I saw it). The thing about making room for others is absolutely hilarious because an average person here has no qualms about stopping in some really inconvenient place (such as right after a ticket gate, or right after stairs).

I find that it ignores some things - I take the bus in Kyoto a lot, and not only are the signs on the bus terrible (saying that the bus doesn't give change, but in reality you have to break bills of 500 yen coins first), but most people do stuff like wait until the end before they think about getting change ready.
