A huge fence that will block the view of Mt.Fuji will be installed in a popular spot by the authorities of a city in Japan who are exasperated by the crowds of foreign tourists and their behavior.
The mesh will be 2.5 meters high and 20 meters long, a Fujikawaguchiko city official said Friday.
Although there are many spots in the city for anyone to see Fuji, tourists prefer the one where the volcano can be seen behind a Lawson convenience store, a brand that is ubiquitous in Japan.
Exactly her the visual contrast attracts touristsmainly foreigners.
Not only do tourists ignore the repeated warnings of security guards, they even go so far as to climb onto the roof of a nearby dental clinic to get the perfect shot.
It is, as AFP comments, the latest example of action against hypertourism in Japan. More than 3 million foreign tourists visited the country in March alone.
