In Japan it has always been used to mark i Buddhist temples with a swastika. The tourists, quite indignant, ask to change this symbol because is associated with Nazism So much so that this practice could soon be abolished throughout the country.
The Sanskrit symbol that the Japanese call 'smaller' It has been used as an indication of religious buildings for thousands of years before the arrival of Hitler. It was his followers who adopted it and they did so right after reversing it.
Due to the chaos that this generated among visitors to the The land of the rising sun, the Japanese tourist office has begun to replace the swastika with another type of indication: the drawing of a pagoda.
while I'm at it the 'H' will also be replaced which on maps indicates where a hotel is located, since in many countries it is confused with the indication of the hospital.
However, it is the Japanese who are not happy with the change of symbols. They are convinced that the swastika is part of their culture and history and that tourists should accept it with an understanding the true meaning of that symbol.
