Yasukuni shrine
Yasukuni Shrine and Yushukan

The Yūshūkan is a Japanese military and war museum located within Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The museum is maintained by the shrine, which is dedicated to the souls of soldiers who died fighting on behalf of the Emperor of Japan. The museum contains various artifacts and documents concerning Japanese war casualties and military activity from the start of the Meiji Restoration to the end of World War II. The museum was established in 1882 and describes itself as the first and oldest war and military museum in Japan.
