Holes have been found in a large screen that was erected to stop tourists taking pictures of Mount Fuji from a busy roadside.

Multiple holes found in the black mesh screen are at eye-level and are just the right size for a camera phone. 

Officials erected the 8.2ft-high screen as a safety measure to stop tourists standing in a busy road or someone's property to get take snaps of the mountain. 

However, just a day after the screen was put up by officials in Fujikawaguchiko, a hole was found. Japanese officials have since found 10 similar holes of the same size. 

Despite the holes, officials say the netting has helped with over tourism in the town.
