Yasukuni Shrine, located in Tokyo, Japan, is a Shinto shrine established in 1869 by Emperor Meiji. It was created to honor and commemorate those who died in service of Japan, including military personnel and civilians who participated in wars from the Meiji Restoration through World War II. The shrine has been a point of controversy due to the enshrinement of certain war criminals, which has sparked diplomatic tensions with countries such as China and South Korea.
