### What’s the reason behind this decision?
In an effort to preserve the natural beauty of Mount Fuji, local authorities have announced plans to install an anti-tourism barrier around the iconic viewpoint at Lake Kawaguchi. The move comes after years of concerns about the negative impact of mass tourism on the area, including litter, noise, and traffic congestion.
The anti-tourism barrier is designed to limit the number of visitors to the viewpoint and protect the surrounding environment. The barrier will be made of natural materials, such as wood and stone, and will be designed to blend in with the landscape.
The barrier will also help to improve the visitor experience by reducing congestion and noise levels. This will make it easier for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of Mount Fuji without being overwhelmed by crowds.
The anti-tourism barrier is also expected to support local businesses in the area. By reducing the number of visitors, the barrier will help to create a more sustainable tourism industry that benefits the local community.
The anti-tourism barrier is scheduled to be installed in the spring of 2023. The barrier will be a permanent fixture, but it will be regularly monitored and adjusted as needed.
Local authorities are confident that the anti-tourism barrier will be a positive step towards protecting the environment and improving the visitor experience at Mount Fuji.
