The Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe explained why the first meeting within the G7 summit began in the sacred place. The policymaker believes that a walk on the territory of the main Shinto shrine will set the right tone for the official part of the event and familiarize foreign visitors with the Japanese culture and spirituality.

Some Japanese disapproved Prime Minister's idea as they believe that such a gesture can be interpreted as an appeal to the conservatives who favor revival of deep-rooted values.
