During his election campaign, Abe, a self-declared nationalist, expressed a desire to revise Japan’s 1995 apology for its occupation and war record. But he did so while visiting – and voicing his wish to return to – Tokyo’s Yasukuni Shrine, a nationalist pilgrimage site that commemorates, among others, 14 Class A and more than 1,000 Class B and C war criminals.
自称民族主义者的安倍在竞选时曾表示要修改1995年日本对占领及战争记录的道歉。但安倍同时参观、并表示希望回到被视为民族主义圣地的东京靖国神社，那里供奉着14名甲级战犯，所供奉的乙级和丙级战犯数更是超过1，000人。
