I understand that the Yasukuni shrine remains popular.

And is it really true that Japanese tourists visiting the Arizona memorial can’t contain their laughter?

BTW, I was stationed in Japan as a kid in the fifties. The Japanese were pleasant people.

I doubt that. Any manifest disrespect would result in US naval staff escorting them off. That applies to everyone.

They generally place manners above everything else. Its called “reido,” the bowing way, even in the face of aggression. There are exceptions, a few boorish idiots here and there, but their mannerly confreres put them into place quickly and firmly.
