Members of a bipartisan dietmen's league dubbed the "Meeting of Dietmen for Visiting Yasukuni Shrine" in Japan paid a collective visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on October 17. Over 60 dietmen of the Liberal Democratic Party, Japan Restoration Party and national democratic party visited the shrine housing the name tablets of the war dead. That day Prime Minister Ishiba and the new president of the LDP reportedly made offerings to it.
