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.

    Wait, what? If I learned one thing from JRPGs is that it’s ok in japanese culture to just barge into someone’s home unannounced, without knocking. Have they been lying to us?

          And there’s always a treasure chest in the kid’s bedroom. Be sure to walk right in there and check it out.
