In the country's post-World War II history, only one other prime minister was granted the honor of a funeral financed with state coffers.

A picture of late former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is seen in Tokyo, Japan, on July 12, 2022.Thousands of people are expected to gather at Tokyo's famed Budokan arena on Tuesday to pay their respects to slain former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The plan has set off a firestorm of debate and protests. The government says the event will cost $12 million, but many suspect the final tab will be much higher. Protesters gather a park in Tokyo on Sept. 23, 2022, demanding the cancellation of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's state funeral.Though Abe was Japan's longest-serving leader in Japan's modern history, he was not the most popular.

On Sunday night, hundreds gathered near Tokyo’s bustling Shinjuku station with placards and loudspeakers to demonstrate against the state funeral. “Abe didn’t move Japan forward at all while he was in power and the scandals surrounding him are numerous,” she said.

One can also say State funeral is to defend the Unifications Church & to cover up Electoral fraud.

State funeral isn’t a democratic campaign, use your own money to defend your own party.

Incredible how he is still yet to be put to rest, he died before the Queen.

Can the country “resolutely defend near future dictatorship without yielding to violence/dirty tricks”, though? EXACTLY

Poor guy died in July after being guarded by mall cops. 😢 Late state funeral 🙄

Dont care

I was surprised back in July when they DID NOT give him a state funeral. He deserved better than that.

Trudeau skipped this one. Too much drama for the drama teacher.

Has he just been sitting around for 3 months? 😬

Lmao the dude honored horrendous war criminals both from WWII and long prior in what they did to China for decades

Japan and I had a war during a flight from San Fran to Osaka. 7th fleet master chief was sitting next to me, while a couple CIA dudes were in front. Across the isle was a Japanese agent. I told them all to stop the emperor's nuclear terrorism plan. Instant mid-air meat grinder.

Factbox: Tokyo tightens security for slain Shinzo Abe's funeralJapan's state for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday is under the spotlight as authorities seek to avoid the kind of security blunders exposed in his assassination in July. Love that after the initial shock of the assassination, the nation of Japan has assessed the shooters points and embraced some of them to make positive change. Its not often that a guy murders a politician and the population goes, 'well, he does have a point.' Give Charles a bus.🤣🤣🤣
