Why are Japanese war crimes during and before World War 2 not as emphasized as German war crimes of the same time period?

It is not the atrocity of the German war crimes that causes them to be more emphasised than the Japanese', rather one key difference between the two countries: their attitudes. While Germany has admitted to, and apologised for, the horrific war crimes committed against the Jews in World War II; Japan, on the other hand, fails to acknowledge that they (along with Germany) started the war, & Japanese history textbooks suggest that the attack on Pearl Harbour and much of the Asia-Pacific region were not the start of the war in the Asia-Pacific region, but a result of actions taken by other nations.
And while Germany has humbled itself & apologised, Japan has yet to show such signs of humility & continues to hide details & responsibilities about their war crimes.
