I`m doing a project and I need to find a stake in Japan that would effect the tourism. I found some info on whaling but I don`t see how it would effect the tourism that much.
where you got whaling, that makes sense. Maybe tuna fishing somewhat. Older people have hard feelings over the war. I think we've seen posts where Russia, China, and Korea have grudges; probably any country that had war in the past with Japan. In the past the work unions in our country and others were upset about competition in the car market and electronics area. Anti-polution people sometimes get mad that Japan is not superclean, like their beaches. I think there are protests about killing dolphins.
Hopefully people more up on these things will post for you !!
Good Luck !!
