That is a good idea. She may have to talk directly to Keidanren to make this arrangement. I doubt that Hatoyama's people will help on this deal.
Obama WH will have a hissy fit, if she looks more statesmanlike.

No, you are absolutely correct. Prime Minister Hatoyama's people would probably significantly water it down or discourage it, that is why she would need independent channels around them and the US Embassy (although some coordination with both sides would be necessary), but otherwise, Sarah Palin would need to freelance her way in here, and there are plenty of independent, local infrastructures independent of Obama's State Department (Embassy) and Hatoyama's Government to ally with. She might even work with the LDP and some other business/academic/social/community groups directly to do it. Even maybe a stop at a place for Japanese kids with special needs kind of like her young one. That would be a great touch, and again, more importantly, the right thing to do.
I would imagine she would get a better assistance and help in R.O.K. with the (relatively conservative if not occasionally RINO, but at least not Communist like Roh Mu Hyon/Kim Dae Jung) Lee Myung Bak Administration in Seoul to visit up to the DMZ, US bases, Korean meet the people, etc. etc.
