Yasukuni Jinja - Shrine by FelixB
The Yasukuni Shrine is not an outstanding shrine except for the fact that 2.5 million war heroes are enshrined there. Among those are also 14 war criminals from WWII. In the past prime minister Koizumi has visited the shrine several times and is everytime evoking hatred from Japan's neighbouring countries Korea and China. This is the major reason for its fame.How to get there: Take the Tôzai or Hanzomon subway line to Kudanshita station.
