Japan to build anti-tourist fence at Mount Fuji viewpoint

Authorities have already put up small metallic scaffolding and signs warning people to stay away from the extend of tarmac to deter this difficult behavior.

Authorities claim that the area will be covered by a 1, 8m great metal mesh fence by the end of June.

Visitors “welcome visitors as long as standard guidelines are observed”, Yoshizaki said. The shift aims to lessen “local people ‘ frustration.”

” Maybe we can create a traveling program” rather to motivate more considerate investigation, he added.

Because of the fact that it appears to lead to Mount Fuji from a specific angle, a motorist staircase to the gate also appears in many photos on Instagram and another systems, including wedding photographs.

Residents complained about visitors parking in the quiet neighborhood or shouting at one another when taking large shots from afar.

The Dream Bridge has been in operation for around ten years, but Yoshizaki said that in November, photo-hungry tourists started flocking it.

As pictures taken on the spot spread on social media and as record numbers of foreign tourists travel to Japan, the population has increased significantly in recent months.

To lessen the strain on locals, the area set up a parking lot and a restroom center at the bridge this week.

However, the local community of Fujikawaguchiko plans to construct a black grid challenge, already in place next to the pleasure store, with stronger material.

There have been several tiny holes poked in the screen to prevent citizens from littering, breaking traffic laws, and trespassing.

South Korean activists send propaganda balloons north

According to earlier this year, the same dissident group reportedly sent balloons carrying near 2, 000 USB drives filled with songs by North Korean song Lim Young-wooong, as well as other K-pop and K-dramas, into the North on May 10. North Korea is very concerned about its citizens getting exposureContinue Reading

North Korea to stop sending trash balloons after hundreds cross border

The North said it will then “temporarily dismiss” its plan, saying it had been a “pure failsafe”.

” But, if the South Koreans resume the supply of anti- DPRK leaflets, we may respond by scattering one hundred times the amount of waste paper and garbage, as we have already warned, in proportion to the detected quantity and frequency”, it said, using the acronym for the country’s established name.

Activists in the South have also carried their own balloons, which are sometimes stuffed with rice, rice, or USB thumb drives full of K-dramas, across the border.

Pyongyang earlier this week referred to its” sincere gifts” as retaliation for the propaganda-laden balloons that were flown into North Korea earlier this week.

Nearly half of the country’s population, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been landed in northern provinces, including Seoul, the capital, and Gyeonggi, which are both home to nearly half of the country’s population.

According to the JCS, the most recent batch of balloons contained “waste such as cigarette butts, scrap paper, fabric pieces, and plastic,” adding that military officials and police were taking them in.

” Our military is conducting surveillance and reconnaissance from the launch points of the balloons, tracking them through aerial reconnaissance, and collecting the fallen debris, prioritising public safety”, it said.

A presidential official said Seoul would not rule out responding to the balloons by resuming loudspeaker propaganda campaigns along the border with North Korea at the meeting of South Korea’s National Security Council on Sunday.

In the past, South Korea has broadcast anti- Kim propaganda into the North, which infuriates Pyongyang.

” If Seoul chooses to resume anti-North broadcast via loudspeakers along the border, which Pyongyang dislikes as much as Kim balloons, it may lead to a resumption of armed conflict along border regions, such as those in the West Sea,” said Cheong Seong-chang, director of the Korean peninsula strategy at Sejong Institute.
