The Yūshūkan (遊就館) is a Japanese military and war museum located within Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda, Tokyo. As a museum maintained by the shrine, which is dedicated to the souls of soldiers who died fighting on behalf of the Emperor of Japan, the museum contains various artifacts and documents concerning Japanese war casualties and military activity from the start of the Meiji Restoration to the end of the Pacific War. The museum was established in 1882, and describes itself as the first and oldest war and military museum in Japan.
The museum has been accused of containing revisionism in its accounts of Japan's actions in World War II, as well as glorifying Japan's aggressive militaristic past. See Controversies surrounding Yasukuni Shrine for the full discussion of these controversies.
The museum was initially established in 1882 to preserve and display Meiji Restoration-era artifacts of the Imperial Japanese Army. Following the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War, the Meiji Emperor issued his 192nd order in 1910, which ordered the preservation of military artifacts. The building was expanded when the number of documents and artifacts increased after World War I, but was demolished during the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. The structure was rebuilt by Itō Chūta, reopening in 1932.
Yasukuni Shrine (靖国神社 or 靖國神社, Yasukuni Jinja) is a Shinto shrine in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. It was founded by Emperor Meiji and commemorates anyone who had died in service of the Empire of Japan, which existed from the Meiji Restoration of 1868 until the nation was renamed during the Allied occupation in 1947. The shrine's purpose has been expanded over the years to include those who died in the wars involving Japan spanning from the entire Meiji and Taishō period, and lesser part of the Shōwa period.
The shrine now lists the names, origins, birthdates, and places of death of 2,466,532 men, women and children, including 1,068 war criminals; 14 of whom are considered A-Class, leading to controversies. The Honden shrine commemorates anyone who died on behalf of the empire, including not only soldiers, relief workers, factory workers, and other citizens, but also those not of Japanese ethnicity such as Taiwanese and Koreans who served Japan.
The 11th and current Chief Priest of the shrine is Yasuhisa Tokugawa, who was appointed in January 2013.
Western visitors to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine and accompanying Yushukan war museum reflect on the significance of the historical, cultural and idyllic grounds in downtown Tokyo, Japan, on Oct. 16, 2012.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe administration was known to teach Janpanese youth that the U.S. induced Japan to trigger the Pacific war and manipulated Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal. Yushukan, a Japanese military and war museum located within Yasukuni Shrine, is educating the U.S. caused the Pacific war and Kamikaze,referred as suijcide attacks by military aviators, warriors targeting the Washington are Japan's war heroes. There is no future without learning how to live with the past!

Yasukuni Shrine operates a museum of the history of Japan called the Yūshūkan, which honors Japanese war heroes. Although the Yūshūkan displays items relating to early military conflicts, such as the Meiji Restoration and the Satsuma Rebellion, the museum focuses primarily on the events surrounding World War II. The museum has been criticized as presenting a revisionist interpretation of World War II.[5] The museum highlights heroic war stories and kamikaze pilots, but does not mention incidents such as Japan using comfort women and the war crimes in Manchukuo - including biological weapons testing on civilians. The museum shows Japan as an Asian liberator, provoked into war by European and U.S. officials, who choked the incoming supply of raw materials to the resource-poor nation. Many...

Finally visited my dream city to travel in Asia! We stayed for almost a week and tried to visit as many places as we can. There's so much to eat, so much to see that's why, even if this video is almost 5 mins. long already, it doesn't say so much of our whole experience in Tokyo. DAY 1 - Lunch at Ichiran Ueno, Ueno Park, Ameyayokocho, Asakusa area night stroll, Don Qui! Since we waited for our AirBnB host to go home after work, we strolled around the Ueno area and had lunch, coffee and snacks. We rode the Keisei Liner Ueno coz it's near our host's place in Inaricho (between Ueno and Asakusa). We just rented out lockers for our luggages and waited for him. Super nice, English-speaking host. I recommend his place coz it's accessible to the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway -- cheapest line to na...

I decided to visit the WWII memorial while I was in Okinawa, Japan. My grandfathers fought in WWII, so I wanted to visit this memorial out of respect. My grandfather's boat was sunk or nearly sunk by the Japanese. I found it odd at first to consider the orders that nearly took my grandfathers life came from this room. I found this experience to be positive. I hope you watch it all the way through. Because as they realized they were loosing they people in command killed themselves underground at the old naval command center. Further more Former Navy Underground Headquarters, which consists of several hundred meters of underground corridors and rooms that served as the Japanese navy's headquarters during the war. Many sailors committed suicide in these tunnels, after their situation had gro...
Like what you see? Buy us lunch (or a new camera!) using PayPal: http://tinyurl.com/kzdd338 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 a...
Trainspoting in Japan on the Tokyo Metro, Bullet Train and more... In 2011 I was lucky enough to travel to Japan. While there, I filmed a few trains including the famous Shinkansen Bullet Train, the Tokyo Metro, the Tokyo Yurikamome and a Class C56 Steam Engine which served on the Burma Railway, often known as the 'Death Railway' during the Second World War. It is now preserved at the Yushukan Museum in the Yasukuni Shrine, Tokyo.
I've traveled the Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture of Japan. Travel the Himeji Castle World Heritage Site. Stay to the long-established inn night. The next day we spent exploring the mystery of the park. BGMは「フリー音楽素材 Senses Circuit」、「フリーBGM DOVA-SYNDROME」より
Stunning, though this poor quality motion picture movie may not quite portray this feeling adequately.
