It is known that during the fall ceremonies held yesterday (17th) and today, the Suga cabinet ministers did not worship at Yasukuni Shrine, where Class A war criminals of the Pacific War were joined together.
Kyodo News Agency reported that Prime Minister Suga and all ministers did not visit the shrine during the Fall Festival.
In August, during the period of the Abe cabinet, four ministers, including Shinjiro Koizumi, the Environment Minister, went to worship, and during the fall rite last year, Takaichi Sanae, the Prime Minister, and others worshiped.
Kyodo News Agency evaluated that it seemed to have been "caring not to affect the diplomatic strategy of the prime minister, who has just been in office," with the influence of Corona 19 over the fact that there was no visit to this year.
However, Prime Minister Suga offered a tribute to Yasukuni Shrine in the name of the Prime Minister yesterday, and our government expressed deep regret for this.
