The screen intended to prevent tourists from taking photos of Mount Fuji has multiple holes in it.

Officials said on Tuesday that the Japanese municipality that installed a massive black screen last week in an effort to discourage visitors from taking pictures of Mount Fuji and congested the region has found gaps in the screen and is attempting to fix them.

The screen was installed last Tuesday at Fujikawaguchiko, a well-liked location for viewing and taking pictures of the famous mountain, but the following day, officials found a hole in it. By Tuesday morning, authorities had discovered roughly ten identical holes that were all at eye level and appeared to be the perfect size to pass a camera lens through.

A Lawson convenience store’s exterior is a particularly well-liked spot to witness the eclipse because, from some perspectives, photographs taken there appear to show Mount Fuji perched atop the building.

According to officials, locals have been complaining about tourists obstructing the small sidewalk, going onto the busy road or going onto adjoining houses to take pictures.

The town installed more fencing along the sidewalk and a black mesh net that is 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) high and stretches 20 metres (66 feet) for 1.3 million yen ($8,285).

According to officials, the screen has made the traffic in the region less heavy.

In addition, overtourism is becoming a bigger problem at other well-known tourist locations like Kyoto and Kamakura.

In addition, it is now necessary to reserve a time slot and pay a price for individuals who wish to climb one of the most well-liked pathways on Japan’s famous Mount Fuji. Hikers who hike the Yoshida Trail on the Yamanashi side of the 3,776-meter (almost 12,300-foot) high mountain, which was inducted into the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2013, must abide by the new regulations for the climbing season, which runs from July 1 to September 10.
