Japan town begins blocking Mount Fuji view from tourists
Mount Fuji An emblematic symbol of Japan and major tourist attraction, this viewpoint, where the majestic and active volcano appears behind a lawsuit convenience store, is particularly popular, but soon it won’t be possible to catch a snap of the snowy peak from. In this small town, authorities exacerbated by crowds of badly behaved foreign tourists are installing barriers and Nets to block the view of Mount Fuji. So I can see why people who live and work here, why they might want to do something about that just to tourists a little bit. I noticed today that Mount Fuji is not even in the view and people still taking pictures. Probably not the best solution. One solution, certainly, but not the best one. They’re overcrowding the nearby cities, but also the hills of the iconic mountain. More than 200,000 visitors hiked up last year. Day or night, the mountain is constantly. And for local authorities, this could even lead to safety hazards. If lots of people gather up there, it could get very overcrowded. People could fall and might get seriously hurt. It’s very worrying. 3 million people visited the country in March alone This year. In Kyoto, locals have complained of snap, happy tourists harassing the cities. Immaculately dressed as guards are now roaming the streets and are even considering closing down some parts of the city to foreigners, measures that could hurt local businesses. Our income comes from foreign tourists. And if there aren’t as many foreigners, our revenue could drop. In a bid to fight overcrowding, Japan is now introducing attacks on tourism to Mount Fuji.
