I have just stumbled over this story of a Canadian journalist who used to live in Tokyo and was denied entry to Japan after a short trip to Korea last December.
His story has been published by the Economist, not exactly known for sensationalist reporting:
Gulag for gaijin
Here's his blog. He claims to have been detained without reason, shaken down by guards, threatened at gunpoint and put on a plane to Canada. Can this actually happen in Japan or is there more to it? Quite distressing.
