Japan

The number of UK citizens travelling to Japan has surged in recent years - with many young people citing social media as a key driving factor.

Japanese avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama, who became famous for her colourful polka dot-covered sculptures and installations, has died at the age of 97.

Her colourful creations drew large crowds and fetched some of the highest ever prices for a female artist.

Kusama was known for creating extraordinary immersive worlds that delighted millions of visitors.

The man had taken his two boys on the trip but is said to have left one behind when he got tired.

This is the first time since June 2025 that the country has enacted capital punishment.

The train collided with the four men at Shin-Kanuma Station, north of Tokyo, authorities say.
