The APA Horikawadori Hotel, in Kyoto [where the class is staying, June 4-7], is a member of the APA Hotel group that promotes a revisionist view of history. In each hotel room, there is a book titled The Shocking Truth About Modern History, a collection of essays from a contest sponsored by the APA Hotel Group. One of the essays is by former Air Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff Gen. Toshio Tamogami, who was fired from his post after his connections with nationalists like the APA chain, and former Prime Minister Abe were revealed.

How do you feel about patronizing a hotel that advances these views?
