木原防衛相ら３閣僚が靖国参拝　終戦記念日、岸田首相は玉串料

　自民党の木原稔防衛相、新藤義孝経済再生担当相、高市早苗経済安全保障担当相は終戦記念日の１５日午前、東京・九段北の靖国神社を参拝した。岸田文雄首相は例年と同様に、自民党総裁として代理人を通じて私費で玉串料を納めた。参拝は見送る見通しだ。
　終戦記念日の閣僚参拝は５年連続。現職防衛相の参拝が明らかになるのは２０２１年８月１３日の岸信夫氏以来で、中国や韓国の反発が予想される。（2024/08/15-11:54）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a "tamagushi" ritual offering at Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on Thursday, the 79th anniversary of the country's surrender in World War II.
Defense Minister Minoru Kihara and economic revitalization minister Yoshitaka Shindo each visited the war-related Shinto shrine.
The shrine is regarded as a symbol of Japan's past militarism by neighboring countries such as China and South Korea as it honors Class-A World War II criminals along with the war dead.
