The Japan Conference[a] is an ultranationalist, conservative, far-right lobby group in Japan.
Beliefs
The Japan Conference holds that "Japan should be applauded for liberating much of East Asia from Western colonial powers; that the 1946–1948 Tokyo War Crimes tribunals were illegitimate; and that killings by Imperial Japanese troops during the 1937 Nanjing Massacre were exaggerated or fabricated" and that comfort women were not forced into sexual slavery.
