I don't think it is the Asian giant hornet, the markings are quite different. I have the same wasp in my folders and I have marked it as Vespa velutina, but I am not 100% with this ID. Dave

I was born in Japan and there is a subspecies called the Giant Japanese Hornet that looks the same. I encountered the hornet many times in Japan.
