Mount Fuji: Iconic view to be blocked to deter tourists
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 photo is already ruined by the market in front. People for some reason want the convenience store and the mountain in the same shot
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?
