Early issues ranged from methane gas leaks, fly infestations, Legionella bacteria in the water, seemingly never-ending lines, and unfinished pavilions. Surely, it was a project doomed to fail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/1814e86a-78b3-43c7-a916-74f645812755/Romon%2C_Fushimi_Inari-taisha%2C_Kyoto%2C_West_view_20190416_1.jpg Blog - 2025’s Top 10 Moments and Events in Japanese Politics To combat overtourism, the government has since proposed tripling the existing departure tax, introduced in 2019 at 1,000 JPY per person, to 3,000 JPY which would generate approximately 120 billion JPY annually based on 40 million departures. The stated purpose was funding tourism infrastructure improvements, multilingual signage, transportation capacity expansion, and preservation of cultural sites damaged by overtourism, with implementation scheduled for fiscal year 2026 beginning in April. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/c77266c3-dff0-42fa-a86f-69a005ae1d15/Trump_showing_a_chart_with_reciprocal_tariffs.jpg Blog - 2025’s Top 10 Moments and Events in Japanese Politics On June 13, President Donald Trump issued an order allowing Japan’s Nippon Steel to acquire US Steel Corporation, a deal the Biden administration had previously blocked. The agreement was reached on the condition that the companies enter into a national security agreement with the US government, including a “golden share” provision in US Steel. Nippon Steel said the deal would allow the company to increase profits, particularly in light of the tariffs on steel products imported from the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/261f5afa-fa78-472c-b6e2-f4079f66ca68/Official_portrait_of_Sanae_Takaichi%2C_Prime_Minister_of_Japan_%28HD%29.jpg Blog - 2025’s Top 10 Moments and Events in Japanese Politics Prime Minister Ishiba, who took office in late 2024, bore responsibility for this year’s Upper House loss and resigned as LDP President in September 2025, triggering a party leadership election. Sanae Takaichi won the race, becoming the first female President of the LDP and subsequently the first female prime minister. Her victory was due in no small part to former Prime Minister Taro Aso’s behind-the-scenes work supplying the organizational votes and elite signaling needed for Takaichi to prevail. The Nara representative was able to transform from a popular figure among hardline conservatives into the consensus choice among enough Diet members to win, momentarily stabilize the party, and claim the premiership. Takaichi’s ascent offers a more ideologically defined banner that could consolidate conservatives and potentially put wind back in the LDP’s sails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/d8a20b34-d5da-44c0-83c8-7fa8cf72edcf/Sanae_Takaichi_and_Donald_Trump_at_Yokosuka_Naval_Base_in_2025_%282%29.jpg Blog - 2025’s Top 10 Moments and Events in Japanese Politics The moment drew comparisons to criticism directed at “Tariff Czar” Ryosei Akazawa, who visited Washington, DC more than ten times, prompting commentary that Japan was acting at the behest of the United States. Critics argued that the episode reinforced perceptions of Japan accepting unfavorable trade terms, particularly on agricultural imports and automobile exports. https://www.geminigr.com/blog/what-is-japans-proportional-representation-system monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/a6b67740-d20e-40fb-9088-0bd221d97e54/Election_in_Japan2016_Summer.jpg Blog - What is Japan’s Proportional Representation System? - Make it stand out Voters casting their ballots at a Japanese polling station.

He headed the delegation that negotiated the US-Japan Trade Agreement in 2019, which earned him Trump’s praise as a “tough negotiator”. Other past postings include Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry under Abe and Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party under Kishida. As foreign minister, Motegi is expected to continue championing the rules-based international order and the Free and Open Indo-Pacific strategy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/08496a3c-064c-4f62-8597-76f97289387e/Minister+of+Defense+Shinjiro+Koizumi.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Shinjiro Koizumi The appointment of political blueblood Koizumi as defense minister raised eyebrows due to his relative youth and inexperience in the area. His two past cabinet postings were as Minister of the Environment under Abe and Suga, and Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries under Ishiba, the latter raising his profile as the self-styled “rice minister” due to his fight to bring down inflated rice prices. Columbia-educated Koizumi is a well-known face in Washington, something he can leverage as defense minister to pursue his aims of increasing defense spending and easing restrictions on military equipment exports. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/07436528-de75-4ca8-b0db-45f1fe0dee50/Minister+of+Finance+Satsuki+Katayama.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Satsuki Katayama One of the two women in Takaichi’s cabinet, Katayama is the first woman to lead the powerful Finance Ministry, where she worked as a bureaucrat for 23 years before entering politics in 2005. While her financial credentials are obvious, her sole past cabinet posting was as Minister for Regional Revitalization and Gender Equality under Abe, so many were surprised at her landing the most coveted ministry. A proponent of revitalizing regional areas through finance, Katayama is expected to continue stressing the importance of regional financial institutions as social infrastructure, and possibly oversee needed consolidation in the industry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/3bc64293-0f96-4594-833a-c03d3b77c473/Minister+of+Economy%2C+Trade+and+Industry+Ryosei+Akazawa.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Ryosei Akazawa A close ally of Ishiba, Cornell-educated Akazawa was Minister of Economic Revitalization under Takaichi’s predecessor. He gained notoriety for leading the negotiations with the Trump administration to secure a tariff deal earlier this year. His appointment allows Takaichi to smooth out continued dealings with the US by offering continuity. As head of METI, Akazawa is expected to oversee the implementation of the deal he secured under Ishiba, in particular Japan’s pledge to invest $550 billion in the US, still lacking in specifics despite attempts on both sides to further clarify concrete deliverables. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/58e96513-3e9e-4c56-bbe0-315ed0b9a572/Minister+of+Land%2C+Infrastructure%2C+Transport+and+Tourism+Yasushi+Kaneko.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Yasushi Kaneko Having served as Deputy Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under Yasuo Fukuda and Taro Aso, and also chairman of that committee in the Diet, Kaneko is experienced in the workings of his new portfolio. He has voiced concerns about overtourism, particularly the concentration of visitors in areas such as Kyoto. A proponent of regional revitalization through tourism, he has signaled intent to spread out travelers into rural areas by supporting local initiatives that balance the acceptance of tourists with efforts to ensure residents’ quality of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/d9c23904-aead-4c71-9605-8f8fd4c452c7/Minister+of+Justice+Hiroshi+Hiraguchi.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Hiroshi Hiraguchi (cabinet first-timer) A veteran of the field, Hiraguchi previously served as Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Justice and as Deputy Minister of Justice, both under Abe, which should ease his transition into the top job at the Justice Ministry. He has voiced support for maintaining the death penalty due to the “continuous incidence of heinous crimes”, so abolitionists should not expect any changes under his watch. The ministry also oversees immigration policy, and Hiraguchi has vowed to accept skilled foreign labor while strengthening measures against illegal migrants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/ba567a53-de7f-4aee-a9a3-7528a84e371e/Minister+of+Education%2C+Culture%2C+Sports%2C+Science+and+Technology+Yohei+Matsumoto.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Yohei Matsumoto (cabinet first-timer) Known for his conservative views, Matsumoto served as Deputy Minister and Parliamentary Vice-Minister of the Cabinet Office under Abe, among other postings. His appointment has created some unease due to his support of a 2007 revisionist film that denies the Nanjing Massacre. The ministry he now heads requires school textbooks to include the government’s stance that the “killing of noncombatants, looting and other acts” took place. Asked about his views on the issue right after taking office, Matsumoto vowed to adhere to the government’s view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/bbeae54f-2c8e-41cb-b603-206730935e2f/Minister+of+Health%2C+Labour+and+Welfare+Kenichiro+Ueno.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Kenichiro Ueno (cabinet first-timer) First elected in 2005, Ueno’s previous posts include Deputy Minister of Finance and Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under Abe. Labor reform is expected to be one of his main tasks, after he revealed Takaichi instructed him to explore relaxing overtime work restrictions in order to ease the labor shortages affecting most companies, particularly small and medium enterprises. He will have to deal with expected opposition to the move from campaigners against death from overwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/70995de7-7961-4bad-b7a7-06db9b3ea999/Minister+of+Agriculture%2C+Forestry+and+Fisheries+Norikazu+Suzuki.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Norikazu Suzuki (cabinet first-timer) The second-youngest member of the Takaichi Cabinet at 43, Suzuki previously held the Deputy Minister position of his current portfolio under Kishida and Ishiba. Shortly after taking office, Suzuki hinted at a reset of government policy regarding rice production. While Ishiba sought to increase production to bring down prices, Takaichi seems willing to listen to farmers’ fears of a future price collapse. Suzuki has voiced support for letting the market set prices, announcing he will dismantle the task force Shinjiro Koizumi created under Ishiba to oversee the release of the government’s rice stockpile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/bf88e4ca-2791-4a69-a3dd-70dc7838e16c/Minister+of+the+Environment+Hirotaka+Ishihara.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Hirotaka Ishihara (cabinet first-timer) Son of the notorious former Tokyo governor and Director-General of the Environmental Agency (the precursor to the Ministry of the Environment), Ishihara served as Deputy Minister of the Environment under Abe and was also chairman of that committee in the Diet. He has voiced the need to weigh climate policies against their impact on living costs, signaling a pragmatic approach to environmentalism. As a long-time member of the LDP’s environment and climate policy committees, he has repeatedly called for a nationwide “carbon-neutral movement” to build public understanding and consumer participation in decarbonization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/5e91822a-b6aa-402b-b60b-aa4a9c8386f7/Chief+Cabinet+Secretary+Minoru+Kihara.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Minoru Kihara A former Minister of Defense under Kishida, Kihara is expected to act as linchpin to Takaichi’s defense policies. He has vowed to revise the National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy and the Defense Build Up Program, key documents that Takaichi seeks to update to reflect Japan’s growing security challenges. As chief cabinet secretary, Kihara is expected to balance politicians, bureaucrats and the press while championing the prime minister as the government’s main spokesman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/bd3371f9-fcda-489f-adaf-46dafa0bfdf2/Minister+of+State+for+Economic+and+Fiscal+Policy+Minoru+Kiuchi.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Minoru Kiuchi A former diplomat fluent in German, Kiuchi has previously served in one cabinet post: Minister of State for Economic Security under Ishiba. A maverick who managed to win two lower house elections as an independent candidate, he left the LDP in 2005 over his opposition to the privatization of the postal service, but eventually rejoined in 2012. He has voiced a desire for continuing the policies of past administrations including wage and disposable income growth while sharing Takaichi’s dovish stance on monetary and fiscal policy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/62139819-e217-4dbc-b887-a502993fed81/Minister+for+Digital+Transformation+Hisashi+Matsumoto.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Hisashi Matsumoto (cabinet first-timer) A relative political neophyte, Matsumoto was elected to the Diet in 2021 after a career in medicine, including working on a medical helicopter. He previously served as Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Defense under Kishida and Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs under Ishiba. He cited his experience on emergency medical care during disasters as something he can leverage to ensure the benefits of digitalization reach everyone. With cyberattacks on the rise, Matsumoto said strengthening cybersecurity measures is one of the priorities of the Digital Agency under his watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/354bafd5-7376-4607-8fa6-fb6de9fe11ce/Minister+for+Reconstruction+Takao+Makino.png Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Takao Makino (cabinet first-timer) Having previously served as Deputy Minister of Reconstruction under Abe, Makino has some familiarity with his current portfolio. He also served as Deputy Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs. In the past, Makino has cited a “vigorous reconstruction” of the area affected by the 2011 triple disaster as one of his policy principles, something he is expected to pursue in his new post. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/20b3e577-976f-49e9-b852-c82ffb805503/Minister+of+State+for+Regional+Revitalization+Hitoshi+Kikawada.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Hitoshi Kikawada (cabinet first-timer) Holding a master’s degree in marine environmental science, Kikawada has long focused on ocean-related policy as a lawmaker. Previous postings include Deputy Minister of the Cabinet Office under Kishida, which included matters related to Okinawa and the Northern Territories. This experience should prove useful to his additional role as Minister of State for Okinawa and Northern Territories Affairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65011996a295ad0023c97624/1d6d0a4c-721a-4d8a-8bc4-cb526f09c554/Minister+of+State+for+Economic+Security+Kimi+Onoda.jpg Blog - Team Takaichi: A Breakdown of the New Cabinet - Kimi Onoda (cabinet first-timer) Born in Chicago to a Japanese mother and an American father, Onoda is the youngest member of the Takaichi Cabinet at 42. She has previously served as Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Justice under Suga and Defense under Kishida.
