will pay a visit to the US state of Hawaii to honor war victims in Pearl

that Abe will be the first Japanese prime minister in office to visit
Pearl Harbor and honor war victims of the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, making Abe's visit have historic significance.

Pearl Harbor. This year is the 75th anniversary of Japan's attack on
Pearl Harbor, and large-scale commemorative activities will be held in
Hawaii. It seems that Abe's visit to Hawaii is reasonable."
