In this play, director Masato Nomura re-examines two themes at the core of his work—the idea of the hometown and family—through the lens of tourism and tourists, an increasingly familiar and much-discussed topic in Japan today that has also thrown up various unresolved social issues. Through interviews and fieldwork in Kyoto, one of Japan’s biggest tourist destinations, the play portrays a group of people in a place that attracts both domestic and international tourists, but which is also a hometown to others.
