ANN reports that an increase of foreign tourists has created a “lawless zone” at the Fujisan Yumeno Ohashi Bridge in Shizuoka.

1. They’re definitely behaving badly but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “lawless zone”. This does not strike me as something like a scene out of The Purge movie.

2. I lived in Japan for almost 3 years 16 years ago. I purposely avoided high tourist areas because of the perception of the nuisance tourists. Apparently it’s gotten so much worse post Covid.

3. Very sad, my friends and I stoped at Shin-Fuji station and walked 20 minutes from the station to the bridge. We really enjoyed walking through the smaller city compared to being in Tokyo and thought how nice the area seemed. Wish people would have more respect when traveling.

4. Girl: “I love bad boys”

   Me: “Well I sometimes take landscape pics at ohashi bridge”

5. Time to block Fujisan view from the bridge . Bring out the black boards 😂

6. At this rate, it would be quicker to erect a barrier around Mt. Fuji

7. Proof is on the pudding, insta pics of people standing in the middle of the road

8. So police them?
