Recognized by Dr Hiroaki Ōta in the 1980s, the Paris Syndrome is characterized as a specific type of culture clash. It has been defined as a mental illness affecting some Japanese tourists visiting Paris. While some argue the people of Paris' notion of hospitality is responsible for it, others assert that the Japanese's cultural habits and expectations are also involved. However, no real and efficient solution against it has been proposed yet. The purpose of this study is to apprehend in detail the puzzling Paris Syndrome in order to understand why such phenomenon concerns specifically the Japanese and the French capital, what its consequences can be, and if it is avoidable. As the title of this research suggests it, the Paris Syndrome is a more intricate problem than it seems to be.
