Sometimes the old fashioned remedies are the best. A good thrashing will soon modify this sex predictors behaviour.

Japan needs to revise its retrial system .....

Japan needs to revise it's whole legal system.

These "victims" had every opportunity to report the alleged offence to the police. Seems to me that they now want monetary compensation. I'm sure that Japan's hostage taking legal system will try to oblige.

Most Japanese heavy industries have been built on protection. It is good to see both President Biden and Mr.Trump have indicated a clamp down on this. Japan for many years has abused USA free trade. I think that the USA should have listened more carefully to Senator Gephart in the 1980's with regards to Japan.

The emperor visited Windsor Castle in a London suburb later in the day and laid flowers at the tombs of Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip.

Windsor is not a suburb of the Greater London area. Not a major issue though.

Well done Mr kadokawa. Japan's legal system is a complete mutation of what Japan's constitution intends.

An emperor outranks a king.

Emperors and Empresses are of a higher rank.

The host outranks the guest.

It’s only disputed by China. The world knows whose islands these really belong to.

I think that most of the world does not really care.

He should be careful, the amount of raw, untreated sewage dumped in the countries rivers these days is a national disgrace.

Fake News.

That good old decaying sewer drain...

Fake News

Whether Oppenheimer apologised or not was his choice. Japan on the other hand has made little effort over the years to apologise for it's aggression.

I think that Mr.Takahashi is trying to that that Japan wants more tourists money, and tourists, despite being an utter nuisance are a good cash cow. Can't always have your cake and eat it.

Just a personal opinion. I fail to see the point of this trip.

Right now in the UK, football, and a general election are more important agenda's

Japan does not really want tourists, but wants tourists money.

Is Himeji castle really worth visiting. It's only a replica.

Facebook. Often used for vindictive gossip, bullying, and fake news.

Farage has never had an MP.

So what? He has and all Reform party candidates have payed the

It subscription fee's and are perfectly entitled to stand for election.

The Japanese penalty / legal system at it's best - yet again.

Maybe my native country should consider charging Japanese nationals 3 times the admission fee for it's tourist attractions.

Japan's glory days are over. They have been over for three and a half decades. This lady is obviously a pragmatic realist of whom can think outside the box. Very rare in Japan

What exactly is the point of this visit?

There are no WW1 veterans left as far as I know. They’d be over 120 years old.

Harry Patch was the last WW1 veteran to pass away in 2011 aged 111.

Having observed the behaviour of some Japanese citizens abroad, I don't think that these critics of tourists in Japan are in any position to criticise.

What astounds me, is that Japanese judges seem so weak and feeble, in that they just kowtow to the prosecutors demands.

Why would you arrest a woman for this and not provide her help and support?

Good question. The woman needs help, not 3 weeks of being "interrogated". What kind of stupid imbecile judge issued an arrest warrant?

Anyone who imports and eats Russian or Chinese food is dicing with death with all the chemicals, pesticides and pollution used on the farms of those countries and in the oceans around them.

In fact, it is illegal to import Russian produce into most democratic nations - for good reason.

I have been eating Chinese (and occasionally Russian food) for years, and I'm not dead yet.

Russian imports have been sanctioned in some democratic countries because of the Ukraine situation, rather than quality issues.

Agreed, a good reason in my opinion.

This says to me that there are serious flaws in Japanese culture.

Tourists, whether rich, poor, or budget, do not generally go to places where they feel they are being overcharged for food and accommodation. Overcharging in Japan will do long term damage to Japan's tourist industry. Word does get around.

A hug is not, and never has been a sexual act.

Officials of Japan's foreign ministry were not immediately available for comment outside of working hours.

Fat lot good Japan's bureaucrats are.

I would have thought that the best solution to this would be to install more litter bins, and put up more traffic regulation signs.

Is this really news anymore? These old men will be dead in a few years
