Mount Fuji: Iconic view to be blocked to deter tourists
Mount Fuji: Iconic view to be blocked to deter tourists
Residents are fed up with visitors dropping rubbish and parking illegally as they seek the perfect photo.
I picked a really bad time to visit Japan for the first time. To anyone Japanese reading this, I promise to be respectful.
Construction of the mesh net which will be 2.5m (8ft) and 20m (65.6ft) - or the same length as a cricket pitch - will begin as early as next week, the official told AFP.
2.5m, yes...but one has the 3m selfie stick.

Isn't the point to ruin the view with the net? A longer stick ain't gonna help here.
The article said that a lot of their problems came from people snapping photos and getting up on buildings and stuff. I dunno how an 8 meter high net would prevent that course of behavior either, to be honest.
Sucks for the locals. I dunno, do they just need to decrease the people going in, in total, or do they just need to set up a bunch of better public picture spots so everyone can take their little picture of the mona lisa?
Charge more money.
