Once you become puppet of the USA and also are tied with NATO, you become part of the division and confrontation policies no matter what you.

Posted in: Booking a hotel room? Beware of differences between Japanese and foreign sites See in context
Another thing.
The pictures of the Hotel and the rooms on foreign booking sites many times never look at the rooms in reality.
When checking in, in quite a few places, the rooms and the furniture look dated while the pictures on sites seem like when first the hotel was built.
I have also found while booking no smoking room in smoking countries still smell of cigarettes.

Japan is NOT in NATO and why does he have to increase the defense spending to 2% like NATO countries? A lot of NATO countries do not spend 2% of budget on defense.

The size of the bed may be different size for the same term.
I booked a single room as it was one night stay and was leaving next morning.
The single bed width was the size that be for a youngster and I was falling of the bed on every turn. A sleepless night!

The numbers are very high and the actual numbers probably the double.
Very sad to mistreat children even if they misbehave because they are not adults and are children.
Japan is a conforming society and parents need to learn better ways to treat children than abuse.
