Japan Remembers Fallen Soldiers Enshrined at Yasukuni

Today is the 66th Anniversay of Japan's decision to end the Greater East Asia War, observing the day of "Rising Sun Flag at half staff".

Huge crowd of people was continuously pouring into Yasukuni Shrine where more than 2.46 million fallen soldiers are enshrined. To be more precise, Yasukuni Shrine seems inundated with people paying homage to those brave and self-sacrificing soldiers killed in battlefields and those who devoted their lives to the nation.
