Japan's "Mainichi Shimbun" reported on October 8: "A source close to Takayama Hayato said on Tuesday (October 7) that Takayama Hayato may not visit the Yasukuni Shrine during the autumn festival later this month, as she faces pressure to soften her conservative foreign policy stance."
Takayama Hayato has won the leadership of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party and is likely to become Japan's first female prime minister in history. Previously known as the "female Abe," she has visited the Yasukuni Shrine multiple times. The shrine enshrines Japanese Class A war criminals who committed heinous crimes against China, South Korea, and other Asian countries. If she continues to visit, it will certainly provoke strong condemnation from China, South Korea, and other countries, which would not be beneficial for Japan at this time.
