Another Japanese Town To Build Fence Around Scenic Bridge To Block Mount Fuji View

The scenic bridge in Shizuoka prefecture aligns directly with the outline of Mount Fuji and has become a social media hotspot in recent months.

Last month, the Japanese town of Fujikawaguchiko erected a large black mesh barrier to block the iconic view of Mount Fuji from a popular photo spot. Now, another Japanese town is taking similar steps to deter tourists from causing trouble while attempting to capture the perfect picture of Mount Fuji, the Independent reported. Fuji City, home to 'The Fuji Dream Bridge', is planning to erect a 1.8-meter high metal mesh fence around the area to deter disruptive tourists. 

The scenic bridge on Route 139 in Shizuoka prefecture, aligns directly with the outline of Mount Fuji and has become a social media hotspot in recent months. Though it is a regular overpass for locals, tourists are fascinated by the way Mt Fuji looms large over the road, and on the stairs that lead up to the roadside walkway.
