>> The tourist, a former combat medic in Israel’s navy reserves, said staff at the Wind Villa Hotel gave him the form after he presented his Israeli passport. The document demanded he confirm that he had never attacked civilians, killed prisoners, tortured detainees, committed sexual violence, or participated in forced displacement or looting.

>> The hotel reportedly requires all Israeli and Russian guests to sign the same pledge.

>> The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported the incident on Saturday. The Israeli tourist called the request “ridiculous and absurd,” but he eventually signed to avoid being denied a room.

So far no coverage in Japanese media (ex. in X, maybe). Will post if something should come up.

------

>> An Israeli tourist ... was asked to sign a pledge confirming he had not committed war crimes ... when he checked into the Guesthouse Wind Villa on 17th April 2025, in Kyoto, Japan.

>> Hotel manager Ace Kishi confirmed that the pledge is “optional,” adding, “So far, no guest has refused to fill out the pledge, and there have been no instances of refusing accommodation.”

>> The tourist later contacted the Israeli embassy and its ambassador wrote to the hotel complaining of discrimination “based solely on nationality,”...

>> Kishi responded to the ambassador, confirming the pledge did not single out Israelis, but was given to tourists from Russia, Ethiopia, Syria and ... other countries involved in “military or paramilitary organisations in the last 10 years,” ...

>> Due to its stance, the hotel received threats from Zionists, including hostile messages...
