Yes, you can eat whale meat in Japan.

I found a website for a ryokan that specializes in whale meat. I couldn't quite stop a shudder. The Discovery show "Whale Wars" is about a group of people that specifically chase Japanese whaling boats around and act all pirate-y in an attempt to stop them from harvesting. It's well documented that the Japanese see whales and dolphins as simply big fish and therefore free game.

Yes, I feel strongly about this.
