“Mt.Fuji and LAWSON" in Fujikawaguchiko-Machi has become national news as excessive tourism. In my local opinion, We would be happy if this crowded situation could be resolved anyway.

WE use this road frequently as it leads to the station, but for a long time it has been really dangerous and congested. Tourists frequently cross the road and don’t care if there are cars driving by. There are two pedestrian crossings nearby, so I wish people would at least cross there.

We have been watching since the early days of the topic on Instagram, and I have the impression that the number of people has been increasing with each passing day this year. With that, We became concerned that the grounds of the affected dental clinics were also lawless and “trashed badly and trespassed".

Anyway, this place has no boundary between the sidewalk and the site, and it is difficult to say “behave morally. There is no end to the amount of attention and announcements that can be given to all tourists.

We think the best move would be to physically block the landscape.

Another LAWSON and Mt.Fuji

Apart from this problematic Lawson, there is another Lawson nearby that attracts the same kind of tourists.

The parking lot at this Lawson is large and has sidewalks, so it does not seem to be a problem at the moment, but it is always quite crowded. There were times when three large buses were parked there. Foreign tourists seem to be looking for a combination of a convenience store and Mt.Fuji
