Japan’s ‘perfect Mt Fuji shot’ sparks backlash amid tourist surge | Culture & Lifestyle

A SCENIC bridge in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture — promoted as the ideal location for the ‘perfect’ photo of Mt Fuji — is drawing fierce criticism from local residents, who say the influx of tourists has led to noise, illegal parking, and trespassing. Dubbed the “Mt Fuji Dream Bridge”, the spot went viral after being hailed online as offering a staircase view that appears to lead directly to the iconic 3,776-metre mountain. The city government initially encouraged visitors to share their photos on social media, hoping the site would serve as a local tourism boost. However, the plan has backfired.
