An Israeli tourist was asked to sign a document stating that he had not committed war crimes when he checked in at a Kyoto guesthouse in April, prompting the Israeli ambassador to Japan to lodge a protest against the Kyoto governor for discrimination.

The letter stated that the tourist was told that only Israeli and Russian nationals are asked to sign the form.
