A 2.5-meter-tall and 20-meter-wide black curtain will cover the view of what appears to be Japan’s most iconic mountain towering over a convenience store in Fujikawaguchiko, a town in Yamanashi Prefecture. Six 3-meter-wide iron barriers will also be installed to block people from reaching the exact spot from where the popular photo is taken, which involves crossing the street outside of a crosswalk, a socially condemned act in Japan. Tourists, who come to Fujikawaguchiko precisely for the views of Mount Fuji, started taking pictures at this specific spot after a foreign influencer captured the scene in 2020, which then went viral on social media. The excessive visitors have caused chronic traffic jams for both pedestrians and vehicles on the street where the store is located, a narrow road that is not equipped to handle the volume of tourists. Before completely blocking the view, the Japanese town had tried other measures, such as posting signs in English and having staff members manage the crowds, but these proved ineffective. Fujikawaguchiko relies heavily on the tourism that its proximity to Mount Fuji attracts, but the town’s approximately 25,495 residents had been increasingly critical of the behavior of some visitors, especially those from abroad. Residents have accused tourists of littering, smoking outside designated areas, parking illegally and even trespassing onto the roof of a dental clinic to take photos. The installation of the curtain and metal barriers comes one day after a reservation system was launched to climb to the top of Mount Fuji via one of its most popular routes, called the Yoshida Trail, located in Yamanashi. The system, which requires a payment of €12 and is capped at 4,000 people per day, was made mandatory for the first time this year in an effort to deal with congestion on the trail to the summit of the 3,776-meter-tall mountain.
