Tokyo Apartment Block to Be Demolished for Obscuring Mt. Fuji View.

A newly constructed residential building in suburban Tokyo will be demolished after locals complained that it blocked their views of Mt. Fuji. The 10-story apartment building, located on Fujimi Street, will be torn down before the apartments were due to be handed over to buyers. The builder, Sekisui House Ltd., issued an apology and stated that the view from Fujimi Street should take priority. The company will compensate buyers' costs and assist with finding alternative housing. Views of Mt. Fuji are highly valued in Japan, and the right of tourists to see them has been a subject of debate. [Extracted from the article]
