[QUOTE="keith99, post: 77660882, member: 211648"] I remember being at The Grand Canyon decades ago and dreading when a tour bus full of Japanese tourists would pull up. It was like a swarm of picture taking locusts came out of the bus. I only encountered this at view spots, so no lines or purchases. But of all the things you mentioned that did not involve lines occurred and the photo level was far beyond that of other tourists. To be fair about it, typically the bus was on a schedule and they had to move fast. I would bet that also applies to many tourists in Japan. I only recall being on even a day tour of that nature. What I recall most clearly is a gorgeous view spot where there was a loop trail of a few miles to the river and pools in the valley below. With about a half hour for the stop it was not even possible at a run. The other side of the coin was that without the tour I never would have even found that spot. [/QUOTE]
