had just taken the 3 days trip in Korea to "extend" it by getting a
stamp on his passport so that it would be counted as a new 3 month
tourist trip to Japan.
However the questions he reports having being asked about his staying in
Fukushima in April seem to have absolutely no relationship at all with
his abuse of a tourist visa, and may indicate that he was picked for the
rough treatment instead of the usual "this is the last time, get a real
visa, or we'll turn you away the next time and you'll have to take a
return flight at your own expense" for not very respectable reasons.

How did you know about his suspicion and is he your acquaintance?

After all, the Economist discredits itself, carrying such an impossible
fable
like cited, which should not have been treated simply like that,
and should make for one of the greatest scandals ever reported in Japan.
You are also susceptible to be irresponsible for the failure
to investigate if the story should stand as it is provided as it is.
It's just a fable riddled with holes. It simply doesn't hold water.
