On a related note, I love Japan and have been there 6 times. Amazing food, wonderful people and endless unique neighborhoods to explore. Just don't stay at any hotels affiliated with APA - it supports the denial and refrabication of Japan's cruel history to the rest of Asia and is backed by hardcore nationalists like Abe.

The extremism in Japan is very concerning. They were downright fanatical in WWII, and trying to whitewash that is scary. Not sure I want to see Japan rearm itself then have internal warhawks try some ####. Every country has war hawks.
