For 14th straight year, Japan repeats false claim to S. Korea's Dokdo Island - Duration: 0:57.
Japan has once again laid false claim to South Korea's easternmost island of Dokdo.
The Cabinet in Tokyo adopted its annual defense white paper on Tuesday, which wrongly says
that Japan has unresolved territorial issues involving the so-called "Northern Territories"...
and Korea's Dokdo, which it calls by the name Takeshima.
Japan has been making the claim since 2005.
Seoul's defense ministry strongly appealed against the statement and urged Japan to immediately
correct the phrase and stop making such claims.
Seoul's foreign ministry called in the Deputy Chief of Mission at the Japanese Embassy,
Koichi Mizushima, to lodge a formal complaint.
As for North Korea and its nuclear program, the white paper said Japan's view has not
changed despite the Kim Jong-un-Donald Trump summit, and it still sees the North's military
moves as a threat to Japan and the international community.

Japan rail workers sit beside 200mph bullet trains in bizarre exercise - Duration: 3:49.
A Japanese rail firm has defended a safety exercise in which employees had to sit beside the tracks as bullet trains sped through tunnels at 186 miles (300km) an hour
Almost 200 maintenance staff have had the bizarre training, the company said, in a bid to show them the potential dangers of the train and impress on them how seriously they needed to take their jobs
The company, JR West, said it had no plans to alter the exercise despite complaints from some employees
They introduced the training on Japan's renowned shinkansen bullet trains in 2016, after an accident in August 2015 in which part of a train's exterior fell off, a company spokesman said
He told AFP: 'The training aims to teach our maintenance staff the importance of every part of their jobs
'We pay close attention to safety while doing the training. We will continue this training while ensuring it serves a purpose and is done safely
' RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Plucky Japanese woman dressed as a maid turned rock star
Battle of YouTube heavyweights KSI and Logan Paul ends in. Share this article Share The purpose of the drill was reportedly to make clear to the staff how fast the train moved and therefore how seriously they needed to take their jobs
But it has proved unpopular with some employees, local media reported.'It was a horrible experience,' the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper quoted one employee as saying
Another described the experience as 'just like a public flogging,' the Mainichi daily reported
Japan's ultra-efficient shinkansen train network connects cities along the length and breadth of the country
Despite the huge volume of passengers it serves, the network operates with an enviable punctuality rate
It also has an unparalleled safety record, with no one ever having been killed in a crash in its half-century of service

Konnichiwa! ^^
Have you ever been to
Japan?
Or would you like to travel there?
Japan is pretty popular among young people in Western countries
since it´s known for its pop culture all over the world,
including manga, anime
cosplay, j-pop music
and video games.
Well, Japan is an island nation
surrounded by the Sea of Japan to the West
and the Pacific Ocean to the East.
The main islands are
Hokkaido, Honshu,
Shikoku and Kyushu
but there are more than 4,000 other islands
smaller than those four
belonging to it as well.
Japan has a large North-South extent
so there are many different climates from
snow-all-around-the-year to
subtropical regions.
The West-East extent on the contrary
is quite small
and the area in the middle of the islands
is usually characterized by high mountain ranges
and even
volcanoes.
Those areas are neither safe nor fertile
or good for trade
so people don't really settle there.
The majority of the population lives at the coasts
in big cities like
Tokyo, Yokohama,
Osaka, Nagoya,
Sapporo or Kyoto.
Living that close to the sea,
the Japanese eat a lot of fish.
A well-known dish is Sushi.
In its most common way
it's made of dried seaweed, rice and raw fish
but there are certainly a lot of variations.
More Western food has been established as well
but traditional Japanese food
still plays a way bigger role,
since it is more easy to obtain on a large scale.
For people on islands it is simply
obvious to live of the goods of the ocean.
Japan has not always been an island though.
In fact, 30.000 years ago,
Japan was linked to the Asian continent by
land bridges.
Those allowed people to colonize it
and
develop their own culture.
There were many different tribes,
each with their own distinct practices and beliefs.
The Ainu culture and the Shinto religion
still prevail as the remains of early Japanese history.
On the way to modernization,
elements of other countries were adapted as well,
such as Buddhism, Confucianism
and the Chinese writing System.
It is interesting to see that many Japanese
are members of both Shintoism and Buddhism.
Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples can be seen
everywhere in Japan.
The Shinto religion believes in ghosts and spirits
while the most important topic in Buddhism is harmony.
The country was in turns united as a whole
and then again
split into numerous smaller kingdoms.
Famous periods in which the whole country was ruled by one single, divine emperor
were the Edo and the Meji period.
Central government also comes along with a certain
stability and security.
But in terms of fragmentation
many wars were being fought
and rich people hired Samurai to protect themselves and their property.
A commonly known samurai weapon was the katana,
a longsword with a slightly bent blade.
They used it with both hands because it was hard to handle.
In those days not only combatants were solely male but
life in general was dominated by men.
Women didn't get to decide a lot.
Geishas as an exception were highly respected women
who worked as entertainers.
Their skills included playing Japanese music and performing traditional dances
as well as conversation.
Wearing typical Japanese clothes like Kimonos,
they took great influence on the female fashion.
Their accessories included hair ornaments, called kanzashi,
and colorful fans.
Japan developed mostly separated from the Western World in its early days.
But eventually, it became a global player just like the Western countries.
Japan started off colonizing some smaller islands
then went on to conquer Korea and parts of China
even fought against Russia and participated in both World Wars.
Nowadays its relations to other countries have immensely improved, though.
Due to a crazy working mentality, great inventions and an appealing pop culture
Japan has become a respected and admired country with an
outstanding economy.
But still only few foreigners speak Japanese.
The language might scare people off and to be honest, that's understandable because
Japanese is really tough.
To clear up some general confusions,
here is a short overview:
Lacking a writing system of their own,
the Japanese adapted the Chinese characters sometime in the past.
Those are called the kanji
and there are still about 3.000 of them in use.
The Japanese language though works a bit differently from Chinese,
so additional characters were required to form grammatical structures.
Therefore the hiragana were invented,
which look rounder and less complex than the kanji.
Luckily, there are only 46 basic hiragana characters.
They can be modified by adding additional strokes.
Due to the periodicity they are all pretty easy to learn.
As a means to adapt foreign words the Japanese use the Katakana, the third and last writing System.
Each of them has a hiragana equivalent.
Sometimes, the pairs look pretty similar.
Can you see it?
Japanese grammar works by adding particles behind words.
It is built up very logically
but the sentence structure differs a lot from English,
making it hard to get into it.
With enough practice though,
you might even be able to write your own haiku,
which is the famous form of Japanese poetry.
Haikus are expressed through the art of shoudou calligraphy
using a brush and black ink.
It takes years of practice to master the painting techniques.
Japan is not only known for its poetry and art
but also for its stunning wood craftsmanship.
Without question, the most difficult things to build out of wood are music instruments
and Japan as many of them.
The shamisen, a long-necked lute with three strings;
the shakuhachi, a flute made of bamboo
and the taiko, a drum earlier used to set a marching pace for the Military.
Finally, there's the koto, Japan's national instrument.
The koto is often played to accompany songs about cherry blossoms and springtime.
In Japan, that whole season is celebrated at local festival in every region of the country.
Today, ancient instruments are still used in folk rock music,
but there are also new genres like j-rock and j-pop.
Modern music is often linked to anime,
as it is usually used in the opening and ending sequences.
Anime is very popular in Japan.
Not only kids and teens watch it but adults as well.
Just like with actual movies there are numerous different genres of anime as well.
No wonder that it captivates viewers from all over the world!
But keep in mind:
Anime is often exaggerated
and does not necessarily portray the everyday life of Japan as it truly is.
If you're interested in finding out about foreign countries yourself,
the very best way to do so is by going there in person.
Traveling to Japan surely isn't cheap
but for enthusiasts like us it'll be absolutely worth it.
Sayonara and see you there!

Dark Tourism destinations - Japan's suicide forest to the weirdest theme park - Daily News - Duration: 10:57.
</form> In Netflix's docu-series Dark Tourism journalist David Farrier explores our macabre fascination with the dark and weird locations around the world
Most tourists will flock to beaches to sunbath or pop into historical landmarks to satisfy their thirst for cultural experiences or knowledges
Some though, need more to quench their thirst - and so was born dark tourism, which involves people visiting places that are more associated with death and tragedy than tans and magaritas
Farrier explores destinations around the globe that people actually visit to get an experience outside of the norm
From tourists soaking up radiation in Japan to abandoned labour camps, "poor taste" museums with crime collections and the second most popular suicide spot all feature
Here we take a look at some of the most famous - and popular - dark tourism destinations and sites in the world - and how you can visit them
Santa Muerte, Latin America Santa Muerte, or Saint Death, has risen in popularity in Mexico in recent years
Statues of cloaked skeletons and skulls are at the centre of what is essentially praying to death
The ceremonies take place in a modest temple, though in Dark Tourism we see a small shop that's become a sort of mecca for worshippers who shuffle on their knees to the see the statue
Santa Muerte plays a role in the famous Day of the Dead that is help November 1-2
She's also known as Bony Lady, and her appeal lies in her "non-judgemental nature" and "ability to grant wishes" according to her followers
So where did it come from? Popular thought is that it stems from Mictecacihuatl, the Aztec goddess who presided over the festival of death in August
But after the Spanish conquered Mexico in the 16th century they encouraged them to celebrate All Souls Day, a Catholic festival
The Day of Death is a sort of fusion between the Catholic beliefs and the locals'
Santa Muerte is seen by some as the reincarnation of Mictecacihuatl - making Day of the Dead as her unofficial feast day
The Vatican has denounced Santa Muerte. People still visit to take part in the festival though
Simulation Illegal border crossing It may seem strange but a Mexican town simulates the illegal border crossing so tourists can feel what it's like
Be warned, it takes it to the extreme. You are essentially paying to be chased, shot at, and abused
You leave at night and experience the same stressful conditions. The Night Walk takes three hours and is a 12km obstacle course that has tourists running across a rugged wilderness all while being chased by "agents" with guns
The tour started in 2004 with the idea of showing people what it's like to be an immigrant
It takes place in Parque EcoAlberto, in Mexico. The tour has met criticism, first because it was seen as a training camp for those who actually would go on to cross, and second because it was seen as trivialising what actually happens
Either way it's intense. You can sign up for a Night Walk still too. Tomioka after Fukushima Nuclear Disaster The city was known for its stunning beaches and cherry blossom tree tunnels, but after a tsunami and nuclear disaster it was left wrecked within 12 months
It became a ghost city after it was evacuated in March 2011 over safety fears concerning dangerous levels of radiation
More than 15,000 residents living in 6,000 properties were forced to leave the city turning it into a wasteland
The government has begun to encourage people to move back into certain areas, and there are tours taking people into the area to see the aftermath
In Dark Tourism the reality is unsettling as the area still has high levels of radiation, personal possessions are left abandoned and areas are still on lock down
Real Fukushima run tours. Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park Often dubbed the world's weirdest theme park, Huis Ten Bosch is a weird mix of worlds
VR rides, manga characters walking around and replica buildings. It's essentially Amsterdam in Asia
The Dutch-themed amusement park, in Sasebo, is a weird colliding of themes, ideas and rides
There's robots and dinosaurs, but tulips and replica canals. Tickets for Huis Ten Bosch cost £45 per day
Visit english.huistenbosch.co.jp or seejapan.co.uk . Aokigahara - suicide hot spot Also known as Sea of Trees, Aokigahara, is a forest on the northwestern area of Japan's Mt Fuji
It's beautiful, but it's also the world's second most popular suicide location, the first being the Golden Gate Bridge
Since the 50s, Japanese businessmen have wandered into the forest - and at least 500 haven't come back out
In 2002 there were 72 suicides, in 2003 105 bodies were found. The 'romantic' ending to Seicho Matsumoto's novel Kuroi Jukai is often blamed for revitalising the forest's popularity
The novel ends with a joint-suicide. Logan Paul also made headlines when he visited and filmed a body in amongst the trees
He apologised afterwards but Police, in response, have erected signs "Your life is a precious gift from your parents," and "Please consult the police before you decide to die!" Compasses are useless thanks to the rich deposits of magnetic iron in the volcanic soil
A two-hour drive from Tokyo, there are tours and trips which take tourists to the forest, though you can also take a tour alone or travel with a local guide to see its numerous caves
Be warned though, remnants have been left behind from people who have chosen to end their lives there
It's wise to travel in a group. Expedia has a tour, as does TripAdvisor . Hashima Island You may recognise Hashima Island , also known as Gunkanjima aka Battleship Island, if you've seen James Bond as it's the secret headquarters of Raoul Silva, the villain in the Skyfall
Hashima Island is an abandoned island lying about 15 kilometers from the city of Nagasaki, in southern Japan
It has a complicated history. At the turn of the 20th century it was a bustling coal-mining town owned by the Mitsubishi Corporation, but during WWII the Japanese turned it into a labour camp for Chinese and Korean prisoners
By 1959, it had the highest population density on Earth and, as you'd expect, living conditions deteriorated
When Japan switched to petroleum the prisoners were moved from the island and it was left to degrade
In 2002, filmmaker Thomas Nordanstad visited with Dotokou, who grew up on the island
It was the first time he'd returned as an adult. You can no longer visit by fishing boat, you now have to join an organised tour - there are boats every 30minutes usually from Nagasaki
For tours take a look at Gunkanjima Concierge . Described by its curator as not something for those "easily offended, disturbed, or sensitive in nature" it's easy to see why
It claims to be Europe's largest true crime museum with politically incorrect exhibits, from KKK figures hanging a black child and items from serial killers and the Nazis
Museum owner Andy Jones has faced a lot of criticism for his collection and the way he displays it with some saying it's in "poor taste"
You can visit museum - just bear in mind he's not joking when he says it's designed to shock
Be prepared to part with £10 for an adult ticket, and despite warning against taking kids in, there's a children's ticket too for £9
