The town of Fujikawaguchiko put up the screen to stop tourists from crowding around to take photos.
A huge black screen put up to stop tourists taking photos of Mount Fuji has several holes in it.Officials say they are working on repairing the holes.
By Tuesday morning, local time, officials said they had found around ten similar holes, all at eye level and all apparently just the right size to fit a camera lens through.One especially popular viewing location is outside a Lawson convenience store, from where photos taken at a certain angle would make it look as if Mount Fuji was sitting atop the store roof.
Climbing Mount Fuji has also become an over-tourism issue which is why a booking system has been set up.
