Controversy Over Japanese Travel Package Featuring 'Warlord Who Led Invasion'

A travel package currently being sold in Japan that includes a tour of the Ulsan Japanese Castle (Wae-seong), built by Kato Kiyomasa—a vanguard commander of the Japanese invasion forces who was also known as 'Kiyomasa the Devil'—is sparking controversy.

The promotional material for the tour includes phrases such as "historical romance" and "strategic stronghold," raising concerns that it could be used to glorify a history of invasion.
