TOKYO: A Japanese town that mounted a huge barrier to deter unruly tourists from taking photos of Mount Fuji said on Tuesday (May 28) that around 10 small holes have already been poked in the mesh screen.
The barrier was put up a week ago in a popular photo spot in Fujikawaguchiko town, where residents had complained about streams of mostly foreign visitors littering, trespassing and breaking traffic rules.
