A hotel in Kyoto, Japan, named Hotel Material, sparked controversy by refusing to accommodate Israeli tourists using the reason of 'war crimes,' prompting strong condemnation from the Kyoto city government for violating hotel industry regulations. The incident involved canceling a reservation for an Israeli tourist due to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, leading to backlash online and a formal complaint from the Israeli Embassy to the Japanese government calling for an apology and staff education to prevent such situations from happening again.
