To fend off tourists, a town in Japan is building a big screen blocking the view of Mount Fuji (apnews.com)

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.

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.
