    Hiking

    "Gokoku shrines" are Shinto shrines in which the soldiers are worshiped as "kami" (ghosts or gods) who died in wars on the Japanese side.

    The most famous "Gokoku Shrine" is the controversial "Yasukuni Shrine" in Tokyo. He is repeatedly criticized because war criminals are also honored here.
