It's been 65 years since the World War II was over in Japan. It is called shusen kinenbi (終戦記念日), the anniversary of the end of the war. There were many memorial events here and there.
Every year media pay attention to cabinet minister's movement if they visit the Yasukuni Shrine (靖国神社：yasukuni jinja) or not. In this shrine those who died for the country at wars are enshrined. This year no cabinet members visited, but some other politicians visited.
The website of the Yasukuni shrine is as follows:
