The city of Kyoto created a guide that tells tourists what not to do when visiting

Kyoto was recently named the best city in the world by Travel + Leisure's annual World's Best Awards for the second year in the row.

With this honor comes a surge of tourism, and with that a slew of misbehaving tourists.

As a result, the city has put together a set of guidelines they'd like visitors to adhere to. Compiled by the Kyoto Convention and Visitor's Bureau as well as TripAdvisor, the "The Insider's guide to Kyoto Part 2: AKIMAHEN (Don'ts) of Kyoto" infographic features some angry looking locals explaining what not to do when visiting their city.

Each "don't" gets an Akimahen rating that ranges from one to three angry faces demonstrating just how much each offense annoys Kyotoites. The worst offenses seem to include littering, smoking outdoors in non-designated areas, biking under the influence, and parking bikes in non-designated areas.

The infographic is below.
