Today a visit to the slightly notorious Yasukuni shrine and the grounds. Enshrined at Yasukuni are the heroes of the Imperial Japanese Army, celebrated by many in Japan, but recognized as war criminals by the rest of the world... A big shit-stain on the history of Japan, the shrine periodically makes headlines when the president or some other bigwig visits to pay respect and re-open old wounds. It is a good idea to get over the war, but the people running the shrine are in my professional opinion as a nobody, a bunch of assholes. Celebrating kamikaze pilots is same as celebrating ignorance and stupidity, and only paves a way for more future conflict...

After this I visit the Imperial Palace and then mess about in Yoyogi Park.

  • How come those guys got kicked out for filming the palace and not you?

  • @malmn They lack the Monkeetime touch... I get away with much more.

  • America hails its own war victories in much the same way. Statism and war are not only outdated they are outdated. Check out the Zeitgeist Movement and expand your mind.

  • @0hmyy0utubeusername Absolutely true, Americans are probably the biggest flag-wavers in the world. I think all forms of nationalism and patriotism are primitive, tribal behaviours that served a role long time ago, but no longer do, not in the tiny world we live in now.

  • Finally!!

  • @juliortega I know... Horrifically unreliable internet on my little Pacific island...

  • Ok! That's it! I'm going to japan!

  • @monkeetime & Ohmy, I love you guys but you are wrong. Americans go in, kick ass, leave destruction and then leave. The other guys you mention would take over, kill everyone and never leave.

  • I just started watching some of your videos again. Truly amazing! Thank you so much for releasing those

  • @monkeetime
