The bipartisan parliamentary federation "Meeting of Parliamentarians who worship at Yasukuni Shrine together" has forgotten to worship all at once from autumn due to the spread of the new coronavirus, but on the 7th, 100 people for the first time in about two years. All the members of the Diet visited Yasukuni Shrine.
The bipartisan parliamentary federation "Meeting of Parliamentarians who worship at Yasukuni Shrine together" visits the annual spring and autumn festivals and the "End of War Day" on August 15th at Yasukuni Shrine in Kudan, Tokyo. However, due to the spread of the new Corona infection, I have not been able to worship all at once since October.
The Diet has decided to resume worship at the same time, taking into account the fact that the domestic infection situation has settled down and the election of the House of Representatives has ended. In addition to the chairman, about 100 members of the House of Representatives, including the Liberal Democratic Party, the Nippon Ishin no Kai, and the Democratic Party for the People, worshiped together.
After worshiping, Mr. Otsuji said at a press conference, "I'm glad we all worshiped for the first time in a long time. I asked you to protect Japan, which is suffering from the national crisis of Corona."
Regarding the worship of Prime Minister Kishida, he said, "I think I have a desire to worship, so I would like you to worship at an early opportunity."
