Tokyo Reporter Has Great Coverage of Yasukuni Shrine Demonstration...

Once again, daring to go where the others dare not...  My very favorite Japan bizarre and "real" news sites covers a huge demonstration at Yasukuni shrine.

This time, too, Tokyo Reporter has their own photographers there and takes great photos.

I'm sure it would have been a fun and memorable day to visit Yasukuni on the anniversary of the ending of World War II... But then again, these guys look kind of scary... I think looking at the Tokyo Reporter's photos is close enough for me! See more here.

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
