To fend off tourists, a town in Japan is building a big screen blocking the view of Mount Fuji
FUJIKAWAGUCHIKO, Japan (AP) — The town of Fujikawaguchiko has had enough of tourists. Known for a number of scenic photo spots that offer a near-perfect shot of Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji, the town on Tuesday began constructing a large black screen on a stretch of a sidewalk to block the view of the ...
The neighborhood suddenly became a popular spot about two years ago, apparently after a photo taken in a particular angle showing Mount Fuji in the background of a local convenience store, became a social media sensation.

Another neighbourhood in Kyoto has also thought about outright banning tourists after having to deal with them just walking into people's homes. The neighbourhood is known for its old architecture. They're still private homes. It's nice you think the old houses look cool, you can't just walk into them.
Wait, what? If I learned one thing from JRPGs is that it's ok in japanese culture to just barge into someone's home unannounced, without knocking. Have they been lying to us?

Gotta smash the pottery as well for rupees/yen
Don't forget walking into every bit of wall hoping to find a hidden passage or something
And there's always a treasure chest in the kid's bedroom. Be sure to walk right in there and check it out.
Also check grandma's cabinet. You might find some rare and expensive ethers for free!

that's your mistake, it's an indian custom.
Is this the one where they've stopped people from entering private streets and people misinterpreted it
And also if they did ban tourists how do they tell who are tourists and who are expats that live in Japan
Just close the door, mount a ring bell so it doesn't look like a museum entrance. People can recognize that if you give them a chance.
Okay as an expat who's had to deal with this shit firsthand I'm not one to defend Japanese nonsense but I think people are entitled to do whatever they want with their homes. Again, very much not a fan of Japanese xenophobia (Japan Post Bank should rot in hell) but the onus is on the tourists to not enter random people's homes here.
