TOKYO - A huge black barrier to block Mount Fuji from view will be installed in a popular photo spot by Japanese authorities exasperated by crowds of badly behaved foreign tourists.
Construction of the mesh net -- 2.5 meters high and the length of a cricket pitch at 20 meters -- will begin as early as next week, an official from Fujikawaguchiko town said Friday."It's regrettable we have to do this, because of some tourists who can't respect rules," leaving litter behind and ignoring traffic regulations, he told AFP.
The mostly non-Japanese tourists are overcrowding a stretch of pavement next to the Lawson shop, he said.After traffic signs and repeated warnings from security guards fell on deaf ears, the town in Yamanashi region decided on the huge screen as a last resort.The measure is also meant to protect a nearby dental clinic against the onslaught of tourists.
