Japanese authorities plan to install a mesh net to block Mount Fuji's view from a popular spot due to overtourism and visitor misbehavior.
Japanese authorities in Fujikawaguchiko plan to install a 2.5-meter high mesh net to block Mount Fuji's view from a popular photo spot due to crowds of disrespectful foreign tourists leaving litter and ignoring traffic rules. This measure is part of Japan's response to overtourism, with record numbers of overseas visitors exceeding 3 million monthly for the first time in March. The barrier will be put in place as early as next week.
