Northern Territories Day
Northern Territories Day (Japanese:
The San Francisco Peace Treaty, signed between the Allies and Japan in 1951, states that Japan must give up "all right, title and claim to the Kuril Islands",[citation needed] but it also does not recognize the Soviet Union's sovereignty over them.[3] Japan claims that at least some of the disputed islands are not a part of the Kuril Islands, and thus are not covered by the treaty. The day is similar to Takeshima Day in Shimane Prefecture, which celebrates the Japanese point of view in the Liancourt Rocks dispute.[citation needed]
