Authorities in Japan are enhancing safety measures in response to the influx of tourists compromising safety for photographs. In Otaru, security guards were recently assigned to the popular Funami-za street after a tragic incident where a tourist was fatally struck by a train while photographing a scenic view. Complaints from residents about overcrowding and unsafe behavior have prompted measures to ensure public safety, as the number of foreign visitors reached record levels, raising concerns about the local impact of tourism in the area.
The deployment of security guards aims to deter overseas visitors from taking risks on Funami-za, addressing a surge in dangerous behavior amid rising tourism.
Authorities are increasingly concerned about the safety risks posed by tourists trying to capture the perfect photograph during their explorations, especially following a tragic incident.
