Japanese Shrine Bans Tourists, Laments “Destruction of Japanese Culture”

A beautiful shrine on the island of Tsushima has dropped the ban hammer after what it calls an "unforgivable act of disrespect."

Want to live in Tokyo for cheap - but don't wanna live in the sticks? These spots will keep you connected while going easy on your wallet.

Japan still has no official sexual offender database. Someone just launched one - and experts say it may well be illegal.

It's not just old people who are grousing. Even young Japanese say they resent restaurants sucking up their battery life and bandwidth.

The chain apologized for failing to inform the public about the two-month-old incident, which just went viral in the past few days.

The move will also remove other small (and silly) gender differences, such as rank insignia being smaller on women's uniforms.
