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.

    Because tourists can end up inadvertently majorly fucking over locals in a huuuge way. Barcelona is a good example of what happens when tourism is left unimpeded.

      Yeah and this is a single spot in front of a convenience store. Sounds like a safety issue where people walk into traffic trying to take pictures.

        True but this is also a tiny ass town. Many of the negative effects of tourism are felt much more strongly in smaller communities.
