Nice time of the year in Japan

Isn't it?

Was visiting Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo which is especially dedicated to the soldiers and others who died for the emperor during modern wars. It is still a great controversial especially with diplomatic relationships with China here because they enshrine some of the war criminals from the pacific war in WW2.
But I visited here with my grandpa who desperately wanted to come and pray for the people (including his friends) who devoted their lives to the country while he is still health enough to do so.
There is also one of the few museums that we have that relates to WW2 on the side of here.

Anyway, this place is also famous for watching cherry blossoms. The sights this time of the year are amazingly beautiful! You can see how crowded this place is with a bunch of people here. I saw lot's of foreign tourists speaking in English and some in Spanish. I'm glad they got the experience of the good sight!

Long day shopping in the morning, welcoming my grandpa traveling to Tokyo from Hiroshima (4 hour high speed train ride) and taking him around in the afternoon, and shopping again in the evening.
Looking forward to some more nice sights tomorrow as well and hopefully catch a good shot to share here.
