On it, a building called Grand Maison Fujimidori was being constructed. But then suddenly, the developers, Sekisui House, announced that instead of putting the finishing touches on the building that was scheduled for a July handover, they were going to bring down the building! But why? The upcoming building was blocking the view of Mount Fuji from the street that was famous for just that. Sekisui House said that as the construction progressed, they saw the actual effect the building had on the view, and they "have come to the decision to prioritise the view from Fujimidori and are voluntarily cancelling the construction project." That can happen only in Japan.
Now to the back story. A number of residents who already lived in the Fujimidori neighbourhood weren't happy about the negative impact the condominium proposed would have on the vista of a street named for its nice view of the revered mountain.
Shortly after Sekisui House announced the project in February of 2021, complaints from locals started pouring in.
