First a month or so ago, Kyoto made new restrictions on tourists in the geisha district, now the small town Fujikawaguchiko, near Mount Fuji, is building a barrier to prevent tourists from seeing the mountain from a certain view.
Evidently it has become popular to take a photo of the mountain rising behind a Lawson convenience store. The contrast probably is amusing, I suppose. So the town is building a barrier to prevent this view, hoping that it will cause misbehaving tourists to… suddenly start following the rules.

I can’t imagine this will have much of an effect. The misbehaving tourists will just find other spots to take the photo from and misbehave at.
This makes the second place in a relatively short time trying to fight against a few bad apples. I wonder what the next one will be.
