Worshippers at Yasukuni Shrine - 東京の靖國神社

People worship at the famous and controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. Yasukuni Shrine (靖国神社, Yasukuni Jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in Tokyo, Japan, dedicated to the spirits of soldiers and others who died fighting on behalf of the Emperor of Japan. To many Japanese, the Yasukuni Shrine is no different from Arlington National Cemetery in the USA: a place to honor their war dead.

you people are being too critical. you need to worry about the future. what does it matter if the japanese built a shrine to honor their war dead. they just want to let their family rest in piece. it is true that their are some war crimanals that are enshrined their but their are also people who just wanted to fight for their country. this is a bit similar to the arlington ceremony in the way that some of these people just fought for one cause and that is for their country and their famalies.

Americans, as winner, have succeded to have legal basis to accuse Japan, as loser.

But Chinese have failed to have legal basis, because they did not sign San Francisco Peace Treaty.

Korean ? Hahaha, there was no war between Korea and Japan. Rather Koreans were part of Japanese during WWII. They have enthusiastically supported Japanese war against Americans. They cannot pretend innocent victims anymore.

Remember that Kuomintang, Chinese nationalist party was in very good cooperation with Nazi Germany before 1937. (Just google "Sino-German Cooperation 1911-1941).

Chang Kai Shek invited Nazi German army officers as advisors, and spent lots of money to buy weapons from Nazi Germany, and built fortress area westbound Shanghai.

The war started from provocation by Chang Kai Shek and Mao Zhe Tong.

Get your facts straight !

Even if you win an argument between us, it doesn't the fact that Japan was nuked by US twice.

Remember " Little boy " and “ Fat man " or in Japanese " Hiroshima 広島市" and "Nagasaki 長崎市"

Do not pretend innocent victim?

Japan under rule of a complete psycho emperor underneath and throughout during wwii

now who's trying to pretend to be the innocent victim agian?

in order to pull off crimes against innocent victims, criminals always covered up their crimes.

Pearl Harbor is American soil !

Franklin Roosevelt was a racist. His staff was full of Russian spies.

Even he was or not , so what ?

Yes, He did planned bombing on Japan already in ealy 1939. is "planned" not " planed"

He also sent Flyng Tigers to help the Chinese all because IJA invaded China.

War cfiminals aren't welcome to the Yasukuni Shrine ?

To decide it is us, not you.

@wilsonbnyc

USA was forced to fight Japan when Japan lanched the attack on American soil ?

No, you are wrong.

Franklin Roosevelt was a racist. His staff was full of Russian spies.

He had planed bombing on Japan already in 1939.

He also sent Flyng Tigers, in order to join the war.

War criminals should buried in the unmarked graves.

@2008venom

if none of Korea and China's business,

why would they(Chinese and Koreans) even borther to protest Japan.

United States of America was forced to fight Japan when Japan launched the attack on American soil.

When Japan's troops set foot on Chinese and Korean soil, it proved were their business.

my friend your logic is WRONG.

War criminals aren't welcome to the Yasukuni Shrine.

War criminals should buried in the bomb of unknowns.
