In response to the overwhelming influx of tourists, officials in Fuji-Kawaguchiko, Japan, are constructing an eight-foot barrier to obstruct the viral view of Mount Fuji from a popular vantage point atop a convenience store. This measure, highlighted by GearoidReidy for @opinion, aims to ensure safety and manage the crowds, although the completion of the barrier has been delayed, allowing tourists a few more days to visit the site. Concurrently, Japan is introducing an online reservation system for climbing Mount Fuji starting May 20. Climbers will be required to book their slots online and pay a mandatory fee of ¥2,000 ($13) in advance.
