TOKYO — A property developer in Japan has decided to demolish a near-complete, 10-story condominium in the capital Tokyo after pushback from neighbors who said it blocked a view of Mount Fuji.

In a statement on Tuesday night, Sekisui House said it had 'voluntarily decided to discontinue the project.''There is no denying that the current situation has an enormous impact on the landscape. We have decided to prioritize the view from the road,' the company added.
