According to the Japanese GG Press news agency, some 90 Japanese MPs paid a visit to the Yasoconi temple in Tokyo on Tuesday in honour of the celebrations of the fall festival.
The Group of Representatives included members of the parties promoting to make visits to the controversial shrine, including members of the ruling liberal Democratic Party, the Democratic Party for the People, the Japan Renewal Party, and the NHK party.
Japan “condamns its peace and prosperity today” to the soldiers who gave their lives in the war to defend their country.
It is important to remember that the memorial glorifies war criminals and that the war claimed the lives of close to 2.5 million people.
Previous visits to the shrine by Japanese leaders and deputies have sparked anger in China and South Korea in particular, as it represents the embodiment of the Japanese military tendency in the past..
