    Construction of the mesh net which will be 2.5m (8ft) and 20m (65.6ft) - or the same length as a cricket pitch - will begin as early as next week, the official told AFP.

    2.5m, yes…but one has the 3m selfie stick.

      Isn’t the point to ruin the view with the net? A longer stick ain’t gonna help here.

        The photo is already ruined by the market in front. People for some reason want the convenience store and the mountain in the same shot

          The article addresses this specifically, it’s not ruined because of the market, people want the market in the shot. “The juxtaposition of the soaring volcano and the banal sight of one of Japan’s most ubiquitous shops have made Fujikawaguchiko a popular location for photos”

            Yes I mean, having a store in the photo, for me it’s ruined. Instead they like it more lol

        The article said that a lot of their problems came from people snapping photos and getting up on buildings and stuff. I dunno how an 8 meter high net would prevent that course of behavior either, to be honest.
