Japan-Russia tourism development projects have stalled in the Russian Far East city of Vladivostok following Moscow's military aggression in Ukraine.
Japanese airlines, hotels and other tourism firms have been forced to suspend operations, throwing the industry into turmoil.
Vladivostok has a population of about 630,000. The city was founded as a Russian naval outpost in 1860 and later became a terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
