Thanks for posting. When I was out there in 2000 for our honeymoon, I thought that perhaps it would be like visiting any other war memorial, but it really is treated like sacred ground. The film that you watch before going out to the ship does not minimize the underhandedness of the Japanese aggression. I was glad to see that, and wondered what the many Japanese tourists were thinking.
I doubt that the tourists look upon this as anything more than history.
There are so many Japanese residents of Hawaii they all came to terms with it many years ago.
I’d feel the same way about visiting Hiroshima,painful,but in the past.
