Japanese town erects mesh barrier to prevent overcrowding at Mount Fuji

Fujikawaguchiko locals are tired of littering, trespassing, and traffic violations by foreign visitors hunting for social media photos at Mount Fuji.

TOPSHOT - A person takes pictures of Mount Fuji from across the street of a convenience store, hours before the installation of a barrier to block the sight of Japan's Mount Fuji to deter badly behaved tourists, in the town of Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi prefecture on May 21, 2024.
