Japan is “heaving with tourists like never before, and for local residents bearing the brunt, patience is wearing thin.” With open borders and “an enticingly weak yen,” overseas visitors topped 3 million for the first time. “The world’s most polite country” is now experimenting with a raft of measures from entrance fees, no go zones and view obstructing barriers.
