A newly constructed residential building in suburban Tokyo will be pulled down the month before the apartments were due to be handed over to buyers, after incensed locals complained the structure blocked their views of Mt. Fuji.
The 10-story apartment building on Fujimi Street — which translates to ‘Fuji view’ — in the suburb of Kunitachi is comprised of 18 housing units, which range in price from around ¥70 million to ¥100 million ($445,000 to $636,000), according to the builder Sekisui House Ltd.
