Japanese authorities have investigated a private high school in Kyoto after a fatal boat accident occurred during a 'peace education' field trip to Okinawa in March. The incident involved two overturned boats carrying 18 students and resulted in the deaths of 17-year-old student Tomoka Takeishi and 71-year-old boat captain Hajime Kanai, with 14 others injured. The school was searched on suspicion of professional negligence, and the family of the deceased student filed a criminal complaint against the school's leadership and the organizers of the boat excursion. The accident took place near the site of a controversial U.S. military base relocation project, which has drawn criticism for both environmental concerns and the burden placed on Okinawa. The coast guard also raided the protest group responsible for the boat tours, and the Japanese government later filed a posthumous criminal complaint against Kanai for operating an unregistered vessel.
