Visiting Tokyo could be an overwhelming experience for you, as you can experience a metropolis supported by cutting-edge technology and Japanese culture.
This time, I would like to introduce a 4K Virtual Walking Tour of the Cherry Blossom in Yasukuni Shrine, Tokyo's Top Cherry Blossom Spots in Japan.
Yasukuni Shrine is the predecessor of Tokyo Shokonsha, which was built in 1869 during the Meiji Era to honor the soldiers who died in the Boshin War fought between the new government forces and the old shogunate.
The name was changed to Yasukuni Shrine in 1879.
It was given a special status and positioned as the central shrine of the national Shinto religion.
Unlike ordinary shrines, it was a military religious institution administered by the former Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy.
The shrine honors more than 2.4 million war dead from the Meiji Restoration to the Asian-Pacific War, all of whom were soldiers and civilians who died fighting "for the Emperor.
