Read our privacy policy A Japanese property developer has decided to raze a newly built condominium in west Tokyo after people living in nearby buildings complained that it blocked their views of Mount Fuji. “We didn’t want to lose the appeal of our town, where on a sunny day you have a clear view of Mount Fuji,” one unidentified resident told Japanese broadcaster TBS. Last month, a Japanese town completed the installation of a large mesh barrier to block the view of Mount Fuji in an attempt to discourage badly behaved tourists from taking photos at the spot. Mount Fuji is seen through a hole on a black screen installed across from a convenience store in Fujikawaguchiko town in central Japan Frustrated residents have for years complained about foreign visitors to Fujikawaguchiko littering, trespassing and breaking traffic rules in pursuit of taking the perfect photo of the iconic stratovolcano.
