FUJIKAWAGUCHIKO, Japan (AP) — The town of Fujikawaguchiko has had enough of tourists. Known for a number of scenic photo spots that offer a near-perfect shot of Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji, the town on Tuesday began constructing a large black screen on a stretch of a sidewalk to block the view of the mountain.

The neighborhood suddenly became a popular spot about two years ago, apparently after a photo taken in a particular angle showing Mount Fuji in the background of a local convenience store, became a social media sensation.

    Not a weeb but I think that’s most places if you don’t look or speak like them. I’m American but I’m brown, west coast, bigger cities there’s enough brown people I don’t stand out. Down south, rural small towns, most of Europe those reactions and percentages sound about right.

    Welcome to being a minority.
