    Judging from this story, it looks like Japanese tourism in Australia is is going to continue its decline:

    A Japanese tourist has been bashed in the face, dragged into bushes and sexually assaulted in the West Australian resort town of Broome.

    The attack on Saturday night was the third violent assault on tourists in the town in the last month, police said.

    The 32-year-old woman was attacked after leaving friends at a beach cafe to walk alone to where she was staying, police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall said.

    “She’s been confronted by a man who has violently punched her in the face, so she has broken teeth and injuries to her jaw,” Ms Weatherall said.

    “She was dragged to a tree and sexually assaulted.”

    The woman made it back to her friends, who took her to hospital, from where she was flown to Perth for further treatment.
