The city government Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture is touting the success of its decision to cancel a cherry blossom festival at a photogenic hotspot for Mount Fuji that had been overrun by tourists.
（日本）山梨縣富士吉田市政府正宣揚其此前的1項決定大獲成功，就是取消在1個向來遊客人滿為患的拍照熱點舉辦櫻花祭。

There were apparently no reports of major traffic jams or malicious unruly behavior by visitors during the sakura season this year in the Fujiyoshida area.
今年櫻花祭期間，富士吉田地區看來並無重大交通壅塞，或遊客惡意行為脫序的報告。
Such problems in recent years prompted the Fujiyoshida government in February to call off the annual cherry blossom festival at city-managed Arakurayama Sengen Park.
這類問題近年來多到促使富士吉田市政府在今年2月，取消在市立新倉山淺間公園舉辦年度櫻花祭。
While publicizing the festival cancellation in English on tourism information websites, the city also deployed security personnel in the surrounding area and maintained traffic restrictions to address overtourism problems.
在觀光資訊網站上以英文公布櫻花祭取消的同時，該市也在周邊區域部署保全人員並實施交通管制，以因應觀光公害問題。
