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.

So many places, even in japan, are dying to get some tourist 💵 attention and these guys just dont give a fuck. So weird, just start a takoyaki stand near the photo spot and rack in the cash. Eventually the fad will die anyway

    It‘s a sure way to throw your actual profession down the gutter for what might be a short hype. The mass tourism we see globally today completely dwarfs everything anyone ever anticipated and it sure as hell isn‘t sustainable just by it‘s nature to cannibalize itself.
