Ladies and gentlemen, this is the infamous or notorious Lawson's with Mount Fuji view.

女士們，先生們，這裡就是聲名狼藉的勞森餐廳，可以一覽富士山的美景。

情態助動詞 A2

Kawaguchi City versus the bad tourist and you can see the parking lot despite the fact that you can't even see Mount Fuji at all.

川口市與糟糕的遊客相比，儘管根本看不到富士山，卻能看到停車場。

Across the street is a brown wall which replaces a black wall.

街對面是一堵棕色的牆，取代了黑色的牆。

我想在這裡得到一個明確的信號。

We're going to work on this but they've made some changes here to the Lawson's at Kawaguchiko over the last 36 months.

我們將繼續努力，但在過去的 36 個月裡，他們對河口湖的勞森餐廳進行了一些改動。

An ongoing drama that continues to get deeper, thicker, more interesting and keeps bringing me back here.

這是一部持續不斷的電視劇，它不斷變得更深刻、更厚重、更有趣，讓我不斷回到這裡。

So what they've done here is they've taken away the box or whatever was here.

是以，他們在這裡所做的，就是拿走了這裡的盒子或其他東西。

They put signs clearly saying don't run into the street.

他們在路標上清楚地寫著不要跑到街上去。

They've added these things here to make sure that people don't stand on them whether you think it's going to work or not.

他們在這裡添加了這些東西，以確保人們不會站在這些東西上，無論你認為它是否會起作用。

It looks like a bunch of used tires kind of just cabled in there.

它看起來就像一堆用過的輪胎，只是在那裡用電纜連接起來。

Now typically on a clear day you'd look over this Mount Fuji and you'd have Mount Fuji right here but it's in the clouds today as it is with almost every summer.

通常在晴朗的日子裡，你可以俯瞰富士山，富士山就在這裡，但今天它在雲層中，幾乎每個夏天都是如此。

Mount Fuji is just closed up here but I really do want to talk about the great Kawaguchi, Lake Kawaguchi wall 2.0.

富士山就在這裡，但我真的想談談偉大的河口，河口湖牆 2.0。

It's about up to my torso so it's a lot shorter than it was before.

它大約到我的軀幹，所以比以前短了很多。

I know that the business owner, I talked with him off of the record.

我知道那個企業主，我和他談過，但沒有記錄在案。

He lives back here but this is also his business, a dental office.

他住在後面，但這也是他的生意，一家牙科診所。

He told me that this was really a burden on his business, on him personally.

他告訴我，這對他的企業和他個人來說確實是個負擔。

He understood why the tourists wanted to take the pictures here.

他明白了遊客為什麼要在這裡拍照。

He gets it but it was really hurting his business.

他明白，但這確實損害了他的生意。

The original wall, if we take a look at it here.

原來的牆，如果我們在這裡看一下的話。

I was here about, I don't know, less than a year ago and you can see we had a view here.

我大概，我不知道，不到一年前來過這裡，你可以看到我們這裡的景色。

The weather was a little bit cooler so I think it was over a year ago.

當時天氣有點涼，所以我認為那是一年多以前的事了。

This is where the tourists are supposed to cross.

And you can see they're standing up here, they're breaking the rules.

你可以看到他們站在這裡，他們在破壞規則。

Japan was panicking, what do you actually do?

日本很恐慌，你到底該怎麼辦？

Now you see there's a girl standing up which she shouldn't be doing.

現在你看到一個女孩站了起來，這是她不應該做的。

It was meant to discourage people from even trying.

What happened was that tourists went back there and they took a knife or something sharp and they busted maybe their finger.

事情是這樣的：遊客回到那裡，他們拿了一把刀或其他鋒利的東西，可能弄傷了自己的手指。

Some dudes got long fingernails and they busted a hole into wall 1.0.

一些人留著長指甲，在 1.0 號牆上鑿了一個洞。

So you had little holes that you could take pictures of Mount Fuji from inside of there.

是以，你可以從裡面的小洞拍攝富士山的照片。

Now they don't need to do it because it only comes up to about here on you.

現在，他們不需要這樣做了，因為它只到你身上的這裡。

The other reason why the wall was really necessary, and do let me know if the signal is really not good.

另一個原因是這堵牆真的很有必要，如果信號真的不好，請告訴我。

The other reason that they needed to have the wall come down was that the buses were hitting it.

他們需要拆除隔離牆的另一個原因是公共汽車正在撞擊隔離牆。

It is really close to the street, there's like no shoulder whatsoever.

這裡離街道很近，根本沒有路肩。

It's very important if you're a tourist here to walk on the sidewalks not walk on the road.

如果你是這裡的遊客，走在人行道上而不是走在路上是非常重要的。

You can see there's the bus going by there.

你可以看到那裡有一輛公車經過。

When two buses go past there, they use every single centimeter, every inch of the road.

當兩輛公共汽車經過那裡時，它們會利用路面的每一分、每一寸。

So there were instances where the buses were actually hitting the poles and damaging their rear view windows.

是以，出現了公車撞上電線杆、損壞後視鏡的情況。

So they ended up making sure that the buses would not hit them.

是以，他們最終確保巴士不會撞到他們。

For the longest time after last year's typhoon season, this wall was down.

去年臺風季節過後的很長一段時間裡，這堵牆都是倒著的。

The typhoon was also a problem, the wind would blow it down.

颱風也是個問題，風會把它吹倒。

The higher it is, the more wind it would catch, the more pressure on these poles underneath here, the more chance that these things would just break and blow and cause more havoc and danger to the drivers that went by there.

它越高，風就越大，下面的電線杆承受的壓力就越大，這些東西就越有可能斷裂和被吹起，給經過那裡的司機造成更大的破壞和危險。

Now it's a lot lower, it's more manageable, it's engineered better.

現在，它的高度更低，更易於管理，設計也更好。

Why didn't they come up with this in the first place, right?

他們為什麼不一開始就想出這個辦法呢？

Despite the fact that there are no tourists, sorry, the fact that there's no view here, there are still a lot of people in the parking lot of this Kawaguchiko Lawsons here.

儘管這裡沒有遊客，對不起，這裡沒有風景，但在這個川口湖 Lawsons 的停車場裡還是有很多人。

It's fascinating how much it's changed over the last 36 months that I've been covering this story.

在我報道這個故事的 36 個月裡，它發生瞭如此大的變化，令人著迷。

Sorry about the video lag, I might have to upload this later, but I really wanted to share with you as I take about 15 minutes of video for a video I'm doing on overtourism, this has been an example, a story of two cities because the neighboring Fujiyoshida does things differently.

很抱歉視頻滯後，我可能要稍後再上傳，但我真的很想與大家分享，因為我為我正在做的關於過度旅遊的視頻拍攝了大約 15 分鐘的視頻，這一直是一個例子，兩個城市的故事，因為鄰近的富士吉田做了不同的事情。

Shout out to Michael Sasano who's in the house making up for the last time which was  Mahalo.

向邁克爾-笹野（Michael Sasano）致敬，他在房子裡彌補了上次的 "Mahalo"。

Aloha my brothers, since you're close to a konbini you might as well get something as a snack.

阿羅哈，我的兄弟們，既然你們離康比尼很近，不如去吃點東西吧。

I will because I'm going next to the Yoshida Trail's fifth station to fill some insert shots for a video I'm making on Mount Fuji, so I'm here around this area today driving in a rented car.

因為我要去吉田步道五合目旁邊，為我正在製作的富士山視頻補拍一些插入鏡頭，所以我今天開著租來的車在這一帶轉悠。

The traffic was legendary trying to get here.

Mr. Black Tears writes in here, Hey John, long time not watching a stream, glad to catch up right now.

黑淚先生在這裡寫道：嘿，約翰，好久沒看直播了，很高興現在能趕上。

Thank you for always giving us updates and excellent coverage about Japan.

感謝你們一直為我們提供有關日本的最新消息和精彩報道。

For a lot of you, maybe not everybody here, this Lawson is like some sort of a tourist attraction.

對你們中的很多人來說，也許不是這裡的所有人，勞森就像是一個旅遊景點。

People just, again despite the fact that there is no, see the one guy's laughing, he's saying there's no view of Mount Fuji, he's asking the bus driver, but people still have to go and take the photo because this place is notorious.

儘管沒有富士山，看到那個人在笑，他說沒有富士山的景色，他在問巴士司機，但人們還是要去拍照，因為這個地方聲名狼藉。

They've done a really good job with the signage and despite that the city of Kawaguchi still has hired two policemen, well let's just say cabin or security guards on the other side and they're patrolling this to the best of their ability.

儘管如此，川口市還是僱用了兩名警察，也可以說是另一側的小木屋或保全，他們正在盡最大努力進行巡邏。

But in Fuji, Yoshida, the neighboring town, they do a completely different job of doing it.

但在鄰鎮吉田富士，他們的做法卻完全不同。

They don't have policemen, they have people that are more like guides.

他們沒有警察，他們的人更像是嚮導。

So instead of trying to stop, and this is the best, maybe the two cities have finally talked to one another, but instead of trying to stop the tourists from doing what they're going to want to do anyways, which is this urge, like a moth to a light, to make sure you get a picture in front of the parking lot of Lawson's to get what is a non-existent Mount Fuji over here, you've got to get the tourists to stop coming here.

所以，與其試圖阻止，這是最好的辦法，也許這兩個城市終於相互溝通了，但與其試圖阻止遊客做他們無論如何都會想做的事情，也就是這種衝動，就像飛蛾撲火一樣，一定要在勞森餐廳的停車場前拍張照，拍下這裡並不存在的富士山，不如讓遊客們停止來這裡。

And some of you have asked, like they've got a sign that says no drone, no running into the roadway, a lot of you ask why doesn't the business across the street just charge people to go up on his roof?

你們中的一些人問，比如他們立了一塊牌子，上面寫著禁止無人機、禁止跑到馬路上，你們中的很多人問，為什麼街對面的商家不直接向上爬屋頂的人收費呢？

The answer is you're not getting the point here.

People want to take the Mount Fuji with the Lawson's.

人們想和勞森一家一起登上富士山。

It doesn't matter about the street, they can do that for free right here.

街道並不重要，他們可以在這裡免費做這些事。

Why would you charge to go up here when you can do it for free down on the street?

既然在街上就可以免費，為什麼還要收費？

I don't think the people were really getting the reason why this was such an issue.

我認為人們並沒有真正理解為什麼會出現這樣的問題。

The issue is that this is actually a really crowded roadway.

問題是，這條道路實際上非常擁擠。

If the signal's not going up, I'm going to upload this video for you guys so you get a clean version of it.

如果信號不強，我就為你們上傳這段視頻，這樣你們就能看到一個乾淨的版本。

There's Tokyo and there's where I am, that blue spot, Kawaguchiko on the left side, down the center, just really close to Mount Fuji.

那裡是東京，那裡是我所在的地方，藍色的地方，河口湖在左側，在中間，離富士山很近。

This is a popular, one of the Finger Lakes, one of the popular lakes of Mount Fuji.

這是富士山著名的五指湖之一，也是富士山著名的湖泊之一。

So it's a kind of resort, lots of hotels here, train station, so it's a tourist hub.

是以，這裡是一個度假勝地，有很多酒店和火車站，是一個旅遊中心。

That's where I am, that blue spot, that's in front of the parking lot of the Lawson's.

那就是我所在的地方，那個藍色的地方，就在勞森家的停車場前面。

And you can see the road right next to the train station is really, really busy.

你可以看到，火車站旁邊的道路非常非常繁忙。

About two years ago, a woman was hit, which started to prompt action from the citizens of Kawaguchi to do something, but they didn't know what to do.

大約兩年前，一名婦女被撞，這促使川口市民開始採取行動，但他們不知道該做些什麼。

There was no consensus on the right way to do it.

是以，我們經歷了 36 個月或更長時間的混亂。

Since 2022, when tourism reopened, 2023, it exploded on the scene here.

自 2022 年旅遊業重新開放以來，2023 年，它在這裡大放異彩。

There's what you're supposed to see today.

The explosion of tourism in 2023 led to this, in particular, on social media, exploding this particular site.

2023 年旅遊業的爆發導致了這一點，尤其是在社交媒體上，引爆了這個特殊的網站。

And the city has struggled to find ways to deal with it.

這座城市一直在努力尋找應對之策。

And Fujiyoshida has leaned into social media more than Kawaguchiko, which tried traditional media.

與嘗試傳統媒體的河口湖相比，富士吉田更傾向於社交媒體。

I told them that I would be happy to help them out with this, but Kawaguchiko did not listen, for better or for worse.

我告訴他們，我很樂意幫助他們解決這個問題，但河口湖沒有聽我的，不管是好是壞。
