[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean places that other Americans don’t go to? Because most of these places in Europe that have been named as untouristy here are very popular with other Europeans. Just like the PP said, most Europeans don’t come to the US and go to the Outer Banks but of course that area is packed with American tourists. Places that literally have no visitors at all are probably either dangerous or not very interesting! [/quote]

This is probably true!  For example, I loved going to Sado-ga-Shima and the Ise islands when I was living in Tokyo.  These were not destinations that were popular/“discovered” by American and European tourists, who generally (understandably) want to see the very famous sites and temples.  But they’re both very popular destinations for local Japanese tourists.  Like the example of the outer banks, international tourists rarely want to go to the local chill beach/hiking vacation spot — they can go to their preferred chill beach/mountain at home.  They can only see the Eiffel Tower/Osaka Castle/the White House/the Taj Mahal/the Mona Lisa in exactly one place, so if they’re in that area of course they’re going to stop by and see it![/quote]
