Yasukuni Shrine

Yasukuni Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Chiyoda, founded in 1869, that commemorates about 2.5 million people who died in Japan's service, from the Boshin War to the Second World War. Among them are 1,068 convicted war criminals, 14 of them Class A, which makes the shrine politically contested; the Yūshūkan war museum stands on its grounds.
