A dictionary defines convenience as going as planned. In that way, inconvenient travel need to involve accidents that provide more remembrances than convenient travel. This class aim to design inconvenient therefore beneficial Kyoto tour. But we cannot force tourists inconveniences. We need to introduce some SHIKAKE that does not force but prompt human to certain actions. An example of SHIKAKE is a fake fly marked in a urinal. Males tend to hit it.
