Prime Minister Shinzo Abe leaves Yasukuni Shrine, 12/26/13
If you are interested in Japanese political news, I highly recommend the Shingestu News Agency, an independent agency based in Tokyo. The SNA Twitter feed 1 is an excellent source for updates about important political issues facing Japan: nuclear power, Okinawa, nationalism and so on.
SNA has also launched a website 2, though it’s a bit disorganized at the moment.
