Kyoto to Increase Hotel Tax Significantly to Address Overtourism Concerns

Credited from: SCMP

  • Kyoto's accommodation tax is set to rise significantly in a move aimed at reducing overtourism and generating more revenue.
  • There is a divide among travel companies and residents regarding the effectiveness of the tax increase, with concerns it may push tourists to nearby cities.
  • New tax rates will classify accommodations into a five-tier system, with increases ranging from 200 yen to 10,000 yen based on room prices.
  • Despite the tax hike, local business owners suggest it may not deter wealthier tourists who are less affected by the cost increase.
  • The proposal will be discussed in February and, if approved, could take effect in March 2026, contributing to an estimated $82 million in annual revenue for the city.
