Fujikawaguchiko town temporarily removed a barrier blocking Mount Fuji views due to improved tourist behavior.

Fujikawaguchiko town, Japan, removed a barrier blocking Mount Fuji views temporarily, as it successfully deterred disruptive tourists. The barrier was installed in May due to complaints from residents about foreign visitors causing traffic issues while taking photos. With the barrier down, officials reported fewer people rushing into the road. The barrier may be reinstalled if tourist behavior worsens.
