Japan's popular destinations have seen a slump in tourist numbers. Kyoto's Arashiyama neighborhood is trying to tempt visitors back -- by highlighting how empty it is.

neighborhood -- a popular tourist district on the western outskirts of the city that's filled with temples and shrines -- have devised an advertising campaign dubbed"suitemasu Arashiyama," which translates to"empty Arashiyama" or"there are few people around in Arashiyama."

It does so by showing images of four popular tourist sites in Arashiyama with a tongue-in-cheek message for each one. As a consequence, the district's tourism website states that shopkeepers are at the ready to welcome visitors"with even more hospitality than usual."
