Tokyo: A massive black challenge to obstruct Mount Fuji from being seen may be installed in a popular image location by Chinese officials annoyed by foreign tourists ‘ outcry.
According to a Fujikawaguchiko city official, construction of the mesh net, which measures 2.5 meters high and measures 20 meters long, may begin as early as next week.
” It’s regrettable we have to do this, because of some tourists who ca n’t respect rules”, leaving litter behind and ignoring traffic regulations, he told AFP.
It is Japan’s most recent immediate action against overtourism following this year’s ban on visitors from little private alleys in Kyoto’s geisha district.
The country’s regular readers exceeded 3 million for the first time in March, surpassing the country’s record-breaking 3 million.
Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest mountain, is been photographed from some places in the resort city of Fujikawaguchiko.
However, this stance is particularly well-known because the beautiful mountain appears behind a Lawson ease store, which is common in Japan.
Due to this physical juxtaposition,” a popularity has spread on social media that this area is quite Chinese, making it a favorite photo location”, said the town official who declined to be named.
A stretch of road next to the Lawson store is being overcrowded by the generally non-Japanese tourists, he claimed.
