💨 Abstract

An American tourist was arrested in Tokyo for defacing a sacred shrine by etching letters into a wooden gate. This is the second instance of vandalism at a shrine in Tokyo this week. The incidents have sparked tension as Japan tries to balance its desire to attract more tourists with concerns over breaches of cultural etiquette. Some locals believe that tourism is contributing to instances of vandalism, public drunkenness, and overcrowding.
