Shrine to Japanese War Dead Tokyo

This year I visited the controversial Japan war dead shrine in Tokyo. My 2nd time here. A great museum and somber place. No filming was allowed in most of the museum but it was a detailed year by year and battle by battle of every modern Japanese fight. Highlighting items and people who were there and died. A few War Criminals are enshrined here. For my Grandpa who passed at 100 this year who was in the air corp and Japanese were his sworn enemy. For America's 250 birthday, WW2 was one of our finest moments. And before a knockout round World Cup match vs Belgium. I release this today from Korea, I didn't want to release it while in Japan, it's very sensitive. I have been here twice and it's very emotional for the Japanese who all know someone who died in the 1930s and 1940s or earlier. A human life is a human life. My main prayers were for peace here and lots of thoughts as I was pretty emotional.
