[Adroddiad Newyddion Yahoo]Western media have also recommended viewing Mount Fuji in front of the Lawson convenience store in Lake Kawaguchi, but it may not be popular. The Agence France-Presse report quoted local officials as saying that, considering the nuisance caused by too many tourists checking in there, the authorities will erect a large black screen 20 meters long and 2.5 meters high on the section to pedestrians where most people take pictures to stop travelers from entering. Take pictures there.
This starting point is located in front of a Lawson convenience store not far from Fujikawaguchiko Railway Station in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan Looking towards the convenience store from the sidewalk opposite the convenience store, you can see Mount Fuji above the convenience store, which creates an interesting picture. Not only Hong Kong and Taiwan travel websites have introduced it, but the British Daily Mail wrote an article to recommend it last year too. However, since its popularity last year, this “Llawson most beautiful” attraction has been immediately overrun, which ultimately led to the local government’s decision to close it down.
The installation of security guards had little effect
Japan’s TV station TBS reported that it interviewed tourists and noted that the scenic spot brings a lot of tourists, who eat everywhere at the entrance and exit, squat on the side of the road, and leave a lot of garbage The first one to bear the burden was a dental clinic there. The clinic’s director, Koichi Ide, said the visitors were mainly Asian. Deputy Director Ide Taichi explained that tourists leave many lunch boxes from convenience stores outside the clinic and throw cigarette butts everywhere.

After the giant TBS simulation screen is erected, tourists will no longer be able to take photos of Mount Fuji Lawson from the current shooting point, which is the sidewalk opposite the convenience store.

To provide shade, visitors sometimes stand under the canopies in front of the clinic Visitors arriving by taxi or tour bus also use the clinic’s private car park. As seen in the TBS clip, passengers did not obey traffic rules and continued to cross the road between the convenience store and the filming location, creating dangerous situations. The local government sent security personnel to keep order, but with little success, so they decided to erect a huge black screen to prevent people from standing on this part of the pavement to take pictures. Reports described this measure as a “bitter strategy.”
Agence France-Presse quoted local government officials as saying that construction of the giant screen will begin next week. Local residents have mixed reactions.
The view of Mount Fuji Lawson will soon be lost forever. (Photo from “Banbi, Travel Life Plan” Facebook page)
