Japanese Town to Block View of Mount Fuji to Tackle Overtourism
Japanese Town to Block View of Mount Fuji to Tackle Overtourism
The Japanese town of Fujikawaguchiko has decided to erect an eight-foot-tall mesh barrier to obstruct the view of Mount Fuji. The barrier will be installed next week in front of a convenience store. The viewpoint offers a striking contrast between its neon-lit facade and the serene backdrop of the scenic mountain. However, badly behaved foreign tourists have been overcrowding the place and disregarding the town's rules and regulations. In March, authorities said they would begin charging hikers $13 from July for using the most popular route to climb Mount Fuji. Japan's highest mountain, which is covered in snow most of the year, draws more than 220,000 visitors each July-September climbing period.

How will an 8ft wall block the view?
I thought Japan has left side drive. At 1:22 the drone footage shows right side traffic at the amusement park. Please explain this.

If you already know how traffic goes in Japan, why should you get an explanation about the video? It's obvious that, for whatever reason, the video has been shown inverted. Don't you have anything else to do with your life than asking silly questions?

Bad background music, editor of this video please update to something soothing.
Why not impose access control and entry permit to foreigners. This way they get to make money and help maintain the place.

You can't do that on a regular road. There are a lot of local commuters.

Go to Thailand. Thailand always welcome tourists.
This music gave me a fever
Limit the number of Visas given in the year. That will stop tourists. don't ruin your own country's natural beauty, even if its just a viewpoint.

No natural beauty, a truly ugly mountain, people being brainwashed to go there to see something, nothing special there but boring.

So it's better to reduce the number of tourists instead of dispersing them while keeping the number?

@@mfreak1126 That usually depends on the Tourists. Today's tourists have agendas. They do their homework before visiting a country. Plus, once a govt starts giving other places a priority, tourist places start feeling left out. (maybe not Japan, but most other countries). tourist places generate revenue, so If a place becomes popular, Govts usually promote that place to sing-yang and back.
In Hawaii, would you take a picture of an ABC store with Diamond Head in the background? The influx of foreign tourists is partly due to certain travel influencers proclaiming, 'You must visit this place in Japan. Wise travelers, however, would seek out more meaningful landscapes to appreciate.
Terrible music!
That town is the least Japanese out of all I have visited. Not just from tourists but those that work there. Many foreigners in that town. It unusual for Japan
An excellent measure. Tourists need to know their limits.
Most the eu, us, au and uk have got illegal aliens showing up by the boat load at the taxpayers expense when mount fuji looks like it has plenty of space for them! 😅
Don't worry, I'm not going to visit Japan. I was never fond of Japanese food but some Japanese girls looks pretty good.

Japan, the land that makes cameras, now is tired of people taking pictures. What hypocrisy.

Aren't they Chinese tourists, not Japanese? I don't think Japanese tourists are interested in Scotland in the first place. Scotland is not a popular destination in Japan.

Unfortunately, it is more likely that they are Chinese because modern Japanese cannot afford to travel abroad.
