10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Yotsuya / Iidabashi That You Shouldn't Miss
Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

A large, torii gate stands at the entrance to this shrine built in memory of those who lost their lives defending Japan. Many officials still come and offer prayer annually on August 15, the anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II.

Large tree lined paths leading to huge gates and into the shrine. We saw many people honouoring their dead ancestors. Some of the inturred are convicted war criminals, executed by the victors. Also many martyrs (eg kamikaze) giving their life for their country/emperor. A good place to visit - included the war museum (with cafe), beautiful gardens, interesting external statues. Despite the controversy of who is interred here an interesting place to visit.
