Such a shame that the Nazis managed to taint an age old symbol to this degree. Or rather that they are afraid to put their foot down and say that it doesn't have the same meaning to them. It's called becoming cultured and traveled. Isn't that why they are visiting Japan in the first place?

This is definitely the case. But they aren't different enough for people to not mistake them. And that is the thing the Japanese aren't willing to stand up to. They'd rather just change to prevent any confusion.

the NSDAP (Nazi's) weren't the ones who tainted the symbol

It doesn't say anything about swastikas in that link. Can you elaborate on your statement?
