The Japanese authorities do not want to strengthen the anti-Russian sanctions. This became known during the preparation of the summit G7, which will be held in Germany this summer. Leaks from government sources announced the agency Kyodo Tsushin.
It seems that in the camp of the Western Allies had serious cracks that hide “from prying eyes” is not possible.

Moreover, the administration of US President Barack Obama hopes to use the platform to unite the G7 summit “anti-Russian coalition” that will allow believed in Washington, once again put pressure on the Russian Federation.
The differences among members of the “Big Seven” in policy towards Russia were before. But then they could, at least in public, to pretend that all share the view and are united as never before.
Experts have long noticed that Japan is embroiled in Washington infighting sanctions against their will. Experts stressed that the Land of the Rising Sun have nothing to divide the Ukraine.

In particular, the sources of “RG” the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Russian official not entrance to Japan were only those who have never visited the Japanese islands, and soon there was not going to fly.
Of course, Tokyo has suspended talks with Moscow on visa facilitation, and froze to discuss the possible conclusion of agreements in the field of investment cooperation, space exploration and to prevent dangerous military activities. But all these initiatives are in an embryonic stage, so their cancellation none of the parties have not felt.
Despite the abundance of restrictive measures on the part of Tokyo, they hardly could seriously harm Russia, and Japan-Russia relations as a whole.
In the building up of such a policy, as we are assured Orientalists, great role of the current Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, who was one of the pillars of his election program and external courses concluded a peace treaty with Russia. Politicians began to actively develop personal contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom he eventually established a sufficiently strong and trusting relationship.

The second point has to do a show on a visit to Japan by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was originally planned for autumn 2014. Subsequently, it became clear that the head of the Russian government in Tokyo would not come.
According to recent data, in Japan waiting for Vladimir Putin in the spring of this year. This is Putin and Abe agreed during a brief meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Beijing in November 2014.
The head of the Japanese Cabinet Office is counting on the arrival of Vladimir Putin understands that the official visit of Russian President may give a positive impetus to the development of Japanese-Russian relations.
