The Mount Fuji cherry blossom festival in Fujiyoshida, Japan, has been canceled for 2026 due to overtourism, with local officials citing severe disruptions to residents’ daily lives, including traffic congestion, littering, and trespassing.
The event, which typically drew around 200,000 visitors, faced mounting pressure amid a record 42.7 million tourists in Japan in 2025, fueled by a weak yen.
