Praying at Yasukuni

Whenever I get an opportunity to visit Japan , I would like to visit Yasukuni first in Tokyo and thereafter see other tourist spots in JAPAN.

@B.I. Sharma Thank you.

I know for many Yasukuni is like the "devil"... but hope you understand that it is the soul of the country.

As any soul, it have its good parts as well as its dark parts, we cannot deny either because it is a whole.

Chrysanthemum and purple must be nice national flag instead of white and red rising sun.

it is the soul of the country.

No, it is not.

Just remember that Justin Bieber had to apologize after visiting Yasukuni. Visiting Yasukuni is an apology warranting act.

It's just a list.

You can't control spirits.

Japan will continue to suffer as long as the Imperial Japanese have a stranglehold upon it

Do you see German Chancellor and 100 of their top government reps visiting the Nazi grave? In a wording and verbal openings on diplomatic meets, Japanese officials delivered apologies, but there were never formal documentation of apology with promises to fix their mistakes by taking such actions and such. The Japanese apologies were always vague and lacked details, other than saying sorry and we'll never do it. In meantime in Japan, over 100 Japanese politicians keeps going to Yasukuni and worship 14 Class A war criminals as gods and glorify the old days by adding easily accepted forms such as textbooks, popular magazine and newspaper articles and suggesting Japanese legitimacy on their position in WWII. Then someday, we'll come across generation of Japanese population that really believes that their course of action in WWII was the right thing and wanting retribution. The young Japanese students are clueless of Japan's relations with the outside world. With Abe's administration Japan things really started to look that way.

Japanese is not German, so can't do same way. Nazi was completely gone a long time ago, but Yasukuni still exists today officially with so many souls and it seems never disappear as long as Yasukuni is a religion.
