Yushukan is located within the Yasukuni Shrine. It was established in 1882 (Meiji 15). It is the oldest military museum in Japan. It displays commemorative items left over from various major and minor battles that Japan has participated in from ancient times to the present. Well worth a visit.
Yasukuni Shrine
If you are coming from the Kudanshita subway station, before going to Yushukan, you will first pass by the famous Yasukuni Shrine. Yasukuni Shrine is Japan’s Martyrs’ Shrine, which worships the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country in the past.
There are shade trees along the way, which makes walking very comfortable, and the green scenery is beautiful.
The bronze statue of Omura Masujiro, one of the ten heroes of the Meiji Restoration, was a modern Japanese military expert who proposed many important military reforms for Japan.
After passing the second torii in front, you will arrive at Yasukuni Shrine. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the subway station.
Finally we reached the entrance of Yasukuni Shrine.
After passing the second torii gate, there is the Yasukuni Shrine worship area at the back. The rich man did not go in again. Turn right directly toward Yushukan.
Yushukan
Today’s focus is the Yushukan located inside the Yasukuni Shrine! Finally arrived.
順著箭頭走，右手邊就是遊就館的入口處。
一樓的展覽以及紀念品商店是免費入場的。二樓的展覽區才需要購票入場。成人門票是1,000日圓，小學生則是免費。買了本收集冊給小富翁收集印章。
一進門口就可以看到三菱零式艦上戰鬥機52型(A6M5)，這架戰鬥機來頭很大，是日本海軍在二戰時期由神風特攻隊駕駛的戰鬥機，真的是很有紀念價值，看了一旁的導覽解說，富翁全身起雞皮疙瘩。
The main force of the Japanese Army during World War II: the Type 89 15cm cannon and the Type 96 15cm howitzer.
The C5631 steam train of the Thailand-Burma Railway was used to supply supplies to Thailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar. The Thai government returned it to Japan and has a dark history.
二樓展區，有許多的區域是無法拍照，第一區非常值得一看，展出了許多古代的日本源義家武士的甲冑，牛角帽、還有比人還高的大太刀，整組穿上真的是威風凜凜，非常精彩，也讓富翁想起之前在名古屋Kusanagikan in Atsuta ShrineThe tachi experience I participated in showed that it is not easy to be a competent Japanese samurai. It is really very heavy.
靖國神社的本殿大屋根，昭和時期整修時保留下來的，象徵著日本天皇的菊花徽章，猜猜看在哪邊也看的到呢？答案就是日本的護照上！
The Japanese flag is full of historical memories and was used on the battlefield.
China Incident General Attack Documentary, this is a documentary about the Japanese invasion of China. It seems to be a film of the Japanese government at that time reporting the war situation to the people. I don’t like to get it by mistake. The rich man and the little rich man sat there and watched the whole movie. The war was so ruthless and terrible.
When I came to the large exhibition room, I saw the Comet II aircraft, the ship's critical attack aircraft.
The white glider in the sky is the Sakura 11 special attack aircraft. It is another suicide aircraft. The front half of the aircraft is loaded with a large amount of TNT explosives, preparing to die with the enemy. The flight distance is short, so it is mounted on the mother aircraft and is fired after reaching the target. The accuracy of human control is also relatively high.
The large exhibition room displays various military weapons and equipment of the Japanese army on land, sea and air, which is very exciting.
The water pipe-like thing on the left side of the photo is the Kaiten IV torpedo, a suicide weapon used by the Japanese military during World War II. In a narrow space, a soldier can control the direction of the torpedo. The hit rate is very high, but one person will also be sacrificed.
超大的航空母艦赤城模型，上面搭載著許多自殺飛機，小富翁看了稱讚說做的很逼真。
Two-seater Mini Sea Dragon Diving Stand.
日本陸軍代表作97式中戰車。
Warship cannons, anchors and other commemorative items.
Memorial to the warships Yamato and Musashi. Musashi main cannon!
Memorial statue: Comrade-in-arms, Volon Commando. The Volon commando team is also a suicidal job. When waiting for the enemy ship to approach, the Volon commando team ambushed in the water will directly pierce the torpedo on the pole into the bottom of the warship and explode directly. The commando team will die on the spot. , just like the kamikaze in the sky, the goal is to change one person for one ship, it's really scary.
After leaving the large exhibition area, we came to the end of the tour. The last exhibition room was the gods of Jingguo. The exhibition room displays more than 5,000 photos of martyrs and many suicide notes, including the suicide note written by Army Minister Anami Yuichi after Japan's defeat before committing seppuku. It is filled with an atmosphere of madness and is a bit creepy, but it can sacrifice oneself and serve the country. Sacrifice is truly a great thing. Even though he is a soldier who invaded other countries, the rich man still respects these martyrs and salutes!
souvenir shop
The Yasukuni Shrine only offers biscuits themed after Japanese military ships and weapons, which are quite creative souvenirs.
restaurant
The restaurant located on the first floor of Yushukan has a theme menu of soldiers' food, which is what soldiers ate during the war. There are tofu skin sushi, curry rice set, etc. You can experience the food of the Japanese army.
rich man experience
遊就館就是日本的戰爭紀念館，紀錄著從古到今大大小小的日本戰役，最讓富翁印象深刻的是那些日本設計製造的二戰自殺武器，以及日本軍隊拼到最後一兵一卒的精神真是令人讚嘆，還有印章收集本可以購買喔，展場中總共有十個印章可以收集，小富翁蠻喜歡的。
