I was lucky to have lived in Kyoto when I was 19 and 20 - I arrived in Feb 1970. I did not know a word of japanese and no one then spoke English. I ended up working at a landscape architecture office in Osaka (how I did that was amazing - lots of interviews in spotty Japanese). I commuted every day from Kyoto. A female gaijin at an all male office. And there were no tourists to speak of. None. What a different time.
