Yasukuni Shrine
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 4 August 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.
It looks like any other shrine until you enter the museum. There you find a Zero (WW II era fighter plane), a suicide torpedo, artillery and all sorts of other military equipment and weapons. This shrine is famous for enshrining Class A war criminals along with other war dead. Whenever the Prime Minister visits, the Chinese and South Koreans get very upset.

You said war criminals, but a trip any American museum will remind you of humans worst crimes. you are just looking at it from an American stand point. Put your self in other's shoes and will see a different world altogether.
We killed millions around the word and shamelessly pay tribute to those that helped or commit those atrocities. We just need to wise up.
