Nanking Massacre-denying Japanese hotel boss sparks Tokyo protest

Dozens of protesters marched through the streets of Tokyo’s Shinjuku district carrying banners to protest a hotel chain under fire for books its president wrote denying the Nanking Massacre in wartime China ever happened. Tokyo-based hotel and real estate developer APA Group is at the centre of a furore over books by its founder and president, Toshio Motoya, which contain his revisionist views on history and are placed in every room of the company’s 400-plus APA Hotels.
