Mount Fuji cherry blossom festival cancelled due to overtourism
A cherry blossom festival boasting a highly Instagrammable view of Japan's Mount Fuji has been cancelled after residents complained of overtourism fuelled by the weak yen. The city, however, admits that even if the festival itself is cancelled, its venue -- a park overlooking Mount Fuji, cherry blossom trees and a five-story pagoda -- may still see a spike in visitors as spring nears.
