A spot in the city where you can photograph the iconic Mount Fuji towering over Lawson shop.

This photo spot became especially popular on various social networks after the return of tourists to Japan after the isolation of Covid-19. However, the behavior of tourists has caused concern and dissatisfaction among local residents and officials, as tourists block the narrow sidewalk, take photos, go out on the road and cross streets, disregarding traffic rules, and enter neighboring private properties without permission.

Therefore, on April 30, by order of the city management, a black net wall 2.5 meters high and 20 meters long began to be built there to block the view of Mt.Fuji from the current shooting location.

More than 25 million tourists visited the country last year, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization, and that number is expected to exceed nearly 32 million this year. Although many businessmen make money from catering to tourists, local residents are increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction. For example, in the well-known geisha district of the city of Kyoto, the movement of tourists in several private streets has been prohibited since April, for which a fine has also been imposed.
