Uh, the headline is overstated. They're banning selfies, mobile phone pics, and use of selfie-sticks because people are inordinately stupid. They're not banning all pics.

Are you talking about Conde Nast's headline or mine? I said "some". However, the ban includes "digital cameras", my use of "some" referred to the fact that it only applies to two locations.

" Photo-taking with mobile phones, smartphones, digital cameras, and selfie sticks on the Tsutenkyo Bridge and the Gaunkyo Bridge will be prohibited as it is very dangerous."

The Tsutenkyo Bridge is a paid entry area. They could control the crowds and stupid tourists taking photos by controlling the number of people allowed to buy tickets for any time period.
