It is noted that the temple contains lists of soldiers who died in the battles for Japan during World War II.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did not visit the temple, but sent him a ritual offering.

Earlier, in the Japanese city of Nagasaki, a commemorative ceremony was held on the day of the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing on August 9, 1945 by the US Air Force, which killed 74 thousand people.
