From the post:

>Japanese authorities in a town near Mount Fuji have cancelled this year's cherry blossom festival, saying a surge in tourist numbers is unmanageable for locals. The influx of tourists to the town of Fujiyoshida has led to chronic traffic congestion and litter, while some residents say they've experienced tourists trespassing or defecating in private gardens. The area is a popular destination during spring because Japan's world-renowned cherry trees are in full bloom, and can be admired with Mount Fuji in the background.

It could also be the Chinese. There are Chinese language signs in tourist spots all over the world that say things like “Do not defecate outside.”

I bet Chinese tourists swarm Japan like locusts.

In the recent geopolitical events between China and Japan, Chinese tourists are boycotting Japan. They prefer to go to Australia and NZ (still warm at this time of the year).
