| 2902 | Ian Oliver | I visited Japan perhaps 25-30 times prior to the introduction of fingerprinting. I haven't visited once since and nor shall I under the law is changed.
Sorry, but there are lots of other countries that won't treat me as a terrorist suspect, so I'll visit those instead. |

| 2911 | Anonymous | More transparency is needed. Who is storing the data? Where? Shared with whom? For what purposes? What are the recourses for lost or stolen data? Misidentification? |

| 2920 | Anonymous | 私は外国で指紋を採取されるという侮辱的取扱いを受けたことは一度もありません。それなのに日本は外国人を犯罪者扱いするとは。私は自分が日本人であることを恥じずにはいられません。 |

Most Unfortunate that the Japanese government and the people who have elected them have decided to move towards this type of state control. Quite naturally on the surface it seems like a WONDERFUL way to keep track of potential criminals and illegal aliens, but what happens when it starts being used to keep track of the Japanese citizens....Kanpai Anyone ;) |

| 2927 | Simon Walliss | This discriminatory practise is inhumane. The handful of people they catch is not worth the loss of human rights to the millions they will subject this to.
This will discourage foreign tourist who were thinking of travelling to Japan with the resultant loss of income. |

| 2930 | Andrew Mullan | Fingerprinting is an invasion of my privacy and is a breach of the privacy provisions of the European Convention of Human Rights. This should be illegal in Japan, shame on the Japanese Government. |

| 2932 | Terry | Who does the Japanese imigration give this data to - US, Interpole ? so much for kojin jouhou !
I cant believe the jgov would just dream this up on their own - the UN or trilateral commission maybe.... |

| 2934 | Mike | Well personally I would love to visit Japan as I have friends there but I am having to reconsider if I am treated like a criminal and singled out simply because I am a foreigner.
I think this Nazi discriminatory fingerprinting of foreigneris very shamefull behaviour for a country that prides itself on its polite culture.
I find this, rude, insulting and very facist.
If this is what japanese people are realy like no wonder they people fought on Hitlers side. |
| 2935 | Mike Demsey | I would just like to say that as an Irish national doing business in South east asia I have repeatedly had to tell Japanese customers that I will be unable to provide international marketing services to them because I am unwilling to enter Japan while the invasive fingerprinting procedures are carried out by the japanese goverment.
I currently provide 7.5 Million Euro (13.5 Billion won) worth of revenus from european and US based advertising networks to my Korean clients and would love to expand into Japan, but I do not appreciate being discriminated against and find the entire notion of being treated like a criminal very insulting. Im sure I am not the only person who has this opinion and I would guess that Japan is suffering major finacial loss plus loss of reputation for engaging in such discriminatory practices.
When this policy is reversed I will revise my opinion of the Japanese people and government and hopefully be able to do profitable business with Japanese customers.
Untill then, I will have to focus my efforts elsewhere.

| 2941 | Bruce | I have visited Japan on two separate occasions and was warmly welcomed by all Japanese that I met. Indeed I had the good fortune to be guided to several cities by a man who was extremely generous. Another family welcomed me into their home for dinner and an overnight stay, despite having just met them. I have extended an invitation to my home country to return the graciousness I was shown. However, I will not return to Japan - though I would love to do so - until the fingerprint requirement has been removed. I will not visit any country where such a requirement is a condition for entry. Were my country to institute such a requirement I would make my disapproval known to the government until it was removed and would disavow citizenship were this protest ignored. |

| 2944 | John Burd | I had no idea this fingerprinting garbage came with virtually NO promise the information was for immigration purposes only until I arrived in Kobe. Your immigration departments attitude towards my private data is entirely unacceptable to me, and I am sure millions of others. Others who simply need to be made aware. I am posting all over the internet how unwelcome tourists are in Japan. May your tourism industry suffer the losses it should. |
| 2945 | Bodin Samuel | This is unfair and ridiculous. |
| 2946 | Kyra Troyan | I will never visit Nippon again due to this policy.
I am very sad about this violation of privacy. |

| 2948 | Amy Gale | i came on exchange to japan in 2005 as a student and you didnt have fingerprinting then! I think it is pathetic and against my human rights i that come to japan and help your tourism industry by spending thousands and i get treated like a criminal by them asking me for my fingerprints? fair enough if i was a criminal or muderer or something, this is the treatment of child sex offenders not tourists. i am never going to Japan ever again |
| 2949 | Steve Dallas | Treating guests as criminals is baka and wrong! |
| 2950 | Hirokazu Inoue | I believe that someone with ego in Japanese government is trying to target foreign nationals. If the government/police is so concerned about the crime prevention, they should first fingerprint every single Japanese citizens, then perhaps they can also justify the fingerprinting for foreign nationals. |
