Japanese authorities have put up a barrier at a popular spot where visitors had flocked to take photos of the country’s famous Mount Fuji. The mesh screen measuring 20 metres by 2.5 metres (65ft by 8ft) as of May 21, 2024, obstructed views of the mountain where the signage for a Lawson convenience store appears to sit just below the mountain. The spot had been an online hit that drew tourists, but locals had complained about visitors who often ignored rules about littering and parking, as well as causing a nuisance and traffic hazards.
