Top 8 Countries that Will Not Allow You to Take Photos

#2 – Japan

Mygola

It is especially hard to visit an extraordinary country without taking snaps of its great architecture and popular religious sites… In Japan, it’s illegal to take photos of temples and statues, but luckily, not all of them.

It’s not that photography annoys the spirits, but more and more Buddhist temples have been prohibiting visitors from taking photos mainly because of bad tourists. So before you book a flight to Japan, make sure to take a look at the complete list of those photography-banning sites.

While some of them restrict photography completely, others allow it during specific times of the year.
