Conservatism (Japanese: 保守主義; Romaji: Hoshushugi) in Japan refers to the political philosophy of conservatism as it has developed in Japan. Mainstream Japanese conservatives largely believe in stances such as revising the Constitution[1][2] and a pro-United States foreign policy[3] while some hold more radical positions including calls for remilitarisation and a stronger foreign policy against North Korea, China, and Russia. Additionally, certain conservative factions express anti-LGBT[4][5] and anti-immigration[6][7] sentiments, as well as engaging in denial of Japanese war crimes prior to and during the Second World War.[8][9][10]
Japanese conservatism became the dominant ideology of the country's post-war politics, notably through the establishment of the "1955 system" under the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Since its inception in 1955, the LDP has been a dominant force in Japanese politics, embodying the party's conservative policies and shaping the country's governance for much of the post-war era.
