When looking around where I should stay in Japan, I found many reports that APA is distributing WW2 Japanese warcrime denial pamphlets and booklets in their rooms, some written by the founder himself. I wouldn't be surprised if they're unhappy about documentaries tackling those topics and block them as a result.
There are also some other fun controversies about them if you look around the internet. For the record, I chose not to stay with them as a result of learning about the WW2 stuff, but all the rest didn't really make me wanna stay there either.
