A 26-year-old tourist was hit by a car last week and is reported to be in a coma, as locals decry the swarms of tourists attempting to get the viral shot.
A small Japanese town at the base of Mount Fuji is erecting a gigantic screen to block off a viral view of the peak from the “world’s prettiest convenience store” after it began attracting dangerously large crowds.
A 26-year-old Moroccan tourist was hit by a car as she crossed a nearby road on Thursday and is reported to be in a coma. “At first it was just a few people from other parts of Asia and we are happy to have people from all over the world come here, but it has gone too far,” he told TBS News. Crowds of tourists are also posing problems for other tourist destinations across the country, with the local authority that administers one of the hiking routes to the top of Mount Fuji imposing a ¥4000 levy on anyone climbing the peak from this summer.
