Yasukuni: Enshrining War Criminals

Yasukuni shrine is one of the most touristed spots in Tokyo. Next to the Emperor's Palace in the centre of town, it is an easy addition to an otherwise normal walk around. But it is also a major point of contention. It enshrines war criminals, and is owned by a far right nationalist organization who deny fundamental atrocities committed in WW2. We thought it was worth a look. This video isn't scripted, so my apologies for the methodical, slow speed of my speech. This was one I wanted to do from the heart, but that comes with the trade-off of pausing to think.
