Justin Bieber has apologized to those he offended by visiting Japan's Yasukuni war shrine the week of April 20, saying he was misled to see it as only a place of prayer. The Shinto shrine in Tokyo honors 2.5 million war dead, including 14 convicted war criminals. China and South Korea in particular see Yasukuni as a symbol of Japan's past militarism and see visits to it as a lack of understanding or remorse over wartime history. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara, File)
