On March 23 2025, Watatsumi Shrine in Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, issued a message on social media. It reported that a “grave and unforgivable act of disrespect” had been committed by a foreign visitor. As a result, it announced it would bar all visitors except locals and others who had arranged to worship at the shrine.
In Tokyo, also, there have been multiple occasions where Chinese visitors to Japan defaced Yasukuni Shrine with graffiti and caused other damage. Since 1869, the religious site has enshrined the souls of Japan’s war dead.
Japan’s message is “Respect the rules… or risk an express ticket home.” Looking into the immigration measure, officials have now prioritised “public nuisance” cases, detaining offenders within hours.
