That's a political decision on your part, and not something based on fact. The vast vast majority of the millions of Japanese soldiers enshrined there were not involved in war crimes. It is a little like telling the American president he cannot give a speech on Memorial Day, as some of the soldiers he is memorializing did commit crimes against humanity.
There is deciding to never move on, or there is moving forward. The past needs to be remembered, but picked-at scabs never heal.
