Japanese store near Mount Fuji issues apology in response to overtourism

One week after a small town announced it was taking unorthodox measures to prevent overtourism at a popular selfie spot near Mount Fuji, a business caught up in the controversy has made a statement.

Japan town blocks view of Mt Fuji to stop crowds. Officials in Fuji-Kawaguchiko are putting up a high barrier to obstruct the view. The 8-foot high barrier is due for completion in the middle of May. It's the latest sign of Japan's struggle to accommodate an unprecedented surge in visitors.
