Tourism, then and now
The Japanese are getting annoyed by the impacts of high numbers of tourists in their daily environment and yesterday I heard that the daily number of people allowed to climb Mt Fuji is going to be limited. I don't remember the number currently climbing each day but it amounted to many thousands causing predictable harm to the environment.
I took these two photos when I climbed the mountain in 1960.
