A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
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.

thank you, Maria and Joshua.
i'll learn more about this hornet, because it similar but have some differences too with Giant Japanese Hornet.
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.
