"Near Mt. Fuji there lies a magical convenience store. Above it, a perfect
framing shot of the nation's most popular mountain. Too bad you won't be able
to get that Insta-worthy pic anymore.
Starting next week the town of Fujikawaguchiko is setting up an 8-foot high
mesh net to block the view. Why so cruel Japan!?
Well, that's because this spot has become so popular that tourists illegally
park their cars on the side of the road, toss their trash everywhere, and even
climb a nearby dental clinic's roof to get a better picture. Locals have had
enough. But the people putting up the net have said they will take it down if
the situation improves.
This is why we can't have nice things.
The recent flood of tourism is helpful to Japan, but in many ways, unintended
consequences are making life difficult for some."
