In the Foothills of Mount Fuji, the Fight Is On Against Unruly Tourists

Have always appreciated NYT's detailed bylines (especially when they go into process, interviewed X number of people, reviewed Y documents etc.) but I wish they'd do similar for photographers, especially when a piece has such a distinctive visual style like this one: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/w...

We were in #Japan last month and were concerned about the hoards of tourists (so many, including me and my gang of two). Fujiyoshida is at center of a fight against badly behaved tourists. Roughly 42m in 2025. Pressure building to limit the number of visitors. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/w...

円安の影響で、日本全体が「安さ」が売りの観光地になっちゃったのかもね。なので、マナーの悪い観光客が増えた。まあ、でもかつての日本も世界中の観光地でマナー悪くて顰蹙を買ってたんだけどね… いいかげん、円安誘導の政策はやめようよ。

Japan is officially fed up with unruly tourists during cherry blossom season. Honestly, we just don't know how to act in public anymore.
