Non-profit membership organization dedicated to the promotion of understanding of Japan's political and economic behavior and growing significance in world affairs.

Center for Research Allied POWS Under the Japanese

Excellent site for study and research of Allied military and civilian conditions under the Japanese. Extensive rosters document the names of those who suffered. A lot of little known history. One of the best sites on the subject.

More Stories on Civilian Internment

BBC site documents the stories of Allied civilian internment, including many stories from the Pacific Theatre. How I Lost My Best Friend, is particularly moving.

Far East Prisoner of War Community

Excellent site for the study of British and Australian POWs under the Japanese.

POW Research Network Japan

The group's activities include researching the camps and War Crimes Trials regarding camps, as well as associating with former POWs and their families.

US-Japan Dialogue on POWs

"I hope this website will provide people in the U.S. and Japan with the precious opportunity
to learn the history of POWs and unresolved issues of the Pacific War together. "

Counter Intelligence in World War II

A good read on the history of MAGIC intelligence and Japanese espionage in North and South America.

Yushukan

Imperial War Museum next to Yasukuni Jinja. I visited the new and old museums and naturally the new museum is much nicer. Exhibits are also in English now. You'll most likely disagree with much of the content unless you're an uyoku (Japanese rightist) or perhaps a loyal veteran of His Majesty's forces. The militaria is fascinating regardless. A must see for any visitor to Tokyo. Get off at Kudanshita Station.
