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.
I think they should fine tourists in peak hours/days instead.
Deliberately making your neighborhood less attractive in order to fend off tourists seems like the worst possible solution to this problem. Why ruin the view for locals?
locals don’t give a shit about ‘views’. they just want to live their lives unimpeded by assholes and idiots
Another neighbourhood in Kyoto has also thought about outright banning tourists after having to deal with them just walking into people’s homes. The neighbourhood is known for its old architecture. They’re still private homes. It’s nice you think the old houses look cool, you can’t just walk into them.
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?

Gotta smash the pottery as well for rupees/yen
Don’t forget walking into every bit of wall hoping to find a hidden passage or something
Time to make a specialized 10 story extendable bus for tourists that drives slowly by above the new fence line.
