Today, I paid a visit to Yasukuni Shrine and expressed my sincere condolences, paid my respects and prayed for the souls of all those who had fought for the country and made ultimate sacrifices.
I also visited Chinreisha, a remembrance memorial, to pray for the souls of all the people regardless of nationalities who lost their lives in the war but are not enshrined in Yasukuni Shrine.
While praying for the souls of the war dead, the preciousness of peace Japan enjoys today really came home to me.
