A town at the foot of Mount Fuji is taking another step to urge tourists to follow traffic rules. Camera-toting visitors are once again flocking to a local spot where Japan's highest peak appears to be perched on the roof of a convenience store.

Workers on Monday began drilling holes to install guardrails 6-meters long and 80 centimeters high along a sidewalk just outside the store in Fujikawaguchiko Town. The town says the guardrails will be set up from Tuesday.

The spot has become a favorite with tourists, mostly ones from abroad. Some of them disrupt traffic and create a dangerous situation by jaywalking across a busy road running in front of the store or throw trash on the ground.

In May, the town set up a large curtain across the street from the store to block the view of the mountain.

The town removed the curtain in August, saying the tourist problem had largely been solved.

But from November, the spot began attracting many visitors intent on capturing scenes of Mount Fuji covered in snow, leading to an increase of jaywalking and prompting town officials to take the latest step.

Tourists were seen on Monday around the convenience store, entering private property to take photos and jaywalking.

A resident in his 80s said some tourists are posing a danger and that he worries of traffic accidents. He also says he wants visitors to follow the rules and stop jaywalking.

The town plans to paint two nearby pedestrian crossings green and white in coming days to make them more visible.

Officials say they have no plan currently of reintroducing the large curtain.
