  • Work has begun in a small Japanese town to erect a barrier blocking views of the country's most famous sight, Mount Fuji, after locals complained of bad behaviour by photo-hungry tourists. Fujikawaguchiko town began building panels of mesh netting at a spot where unending flows of mostly foreign tourists visit daily to take photos of the majestic mountain sitting behind a Lawson convenience store.

    As someone who loves Japan and loves spending time there and respects it, there’s nothing I dislike more than other tourists. What is wrong with you people? Japan is great because it’s filled with people that aren’t you. You aren’t even interested in immersing yourself. You just want the flashy photos for your social media. Please go away.

    I’ve never been to Japan before besides stopping over for a short layover. Personally, I think a good way visit Japan is to do it virtually. Like, go watch one of those “Japan Walk” videos that people tend do on RUclips. It’ll be almost as if you’re actually there. And plus you’re not harming the locals in any way.

    Hiroshi Yoshida, a professor at Tohoku University in Japan, pointed out that if the current trend continues, the country may not only have "only one minor child left" by 2720, but may also become "the first country to become extinct due to low birthrate."
    Professor Yoshida Hiroshi, director of the Center for Economic and Social Research on Aging at Tohoku University, updated the 2024 version of the child population clock on April 22, pointing out that the birth rate decline is accelerating, more than 100 years earlier than the 2023 estimate.

      A major flaw in his study is that he is _only_ looking at the current trajectory but not giving any thought on the socio-economic reasons causing the birth decline. Anything can accelerate, decelerate, or even increase a country’s birthrate. But he is ONLY choosing to look at the gloom and doom scenario which is totally misleading.

    0:21 "Authorities are exacerbated..."
    Do you mean _exasperated?_
    The poor people living there are having their lives constantly disrupted by flocks of tourists. It is an exasperating situation, indeed! Blocking the view from the village is a mild start to protecting people's lifestyles. I foresee a harsher crackdown in the future, though.

    Something ironic about an Asian country complaining that people are ‘snap happy’ with their camera’s.

      Bro Japanese are actually not picture hungry like china korea and the rest of East and South east asia. They are the least who likes to take pictures compared to other Asian countries. So you think your close but its not. It might fit if its in korea China or taiwan.

      @@LoVeIu572 Yes, Kanji can be red by those who know Chinese. But it doesn't mean it will be translated accurately. That's why Chinese find it funny to read Kanji, and that's the same when Japanese read Chinese characters.

    I used to do my shopping in Stratford-upon-Avon. I would hate seeing a Japanese tour group following their flag around the town. They may behave themselves in their own country, but they lost their veneer of politeness abroad. It's ironic that they complain of badly behaved foreigners when, here in England, they were loud, pushy, would block pavements, and were generally not pleasant. These days that role appears to have been taken by Chinese tourists.
    I do understand the current anti tourism around the world. Stratford-upon-Avon was a charming market town where going shopping on a Saturday was a pleasure. Now, the majority of shops that once served the locals have been replaced by tourist tat. The locals are forced into a charmless out of town centre, or, like myself, have decided to shop elsewhere.
    Tourism is both a blight and a benefit. It needs to be controlled, but this wave of anti-tourist behaviour around the world may have effects that countries or towns may eventually regret.
