TOKYO, Oct. 17 - Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visit to a nationalist war memorial here on Monday drew immediate and fierce criticism from Asian countries, threatening to isolate Japan and worsen its strained relations with China.
Beijing condemned the visit to the memorial, the Yasukuni shrine, as "a serious provocation to the Chinese people," and canceled bilateral talks on the North Korean nuclear crisis that had been scheduled for Monday. South Korea announced that it would cancel or postpone a trip to Japan scheduled for December by President Roh Moo Hyun.
On Monday morning, after months of speculation about the timing of a visit, Mr. Koizumi fulfilled his promise of praying annually at the shrine. The Shinto shrine, which deifies Japan's 2.5 million war dead, including war criminals responsible for atrocities throughout Asia, is regarded by most Asians as the symbol of unrepentant militarism.
The visit to the shrine also drew protests from Taiwan and Singapore. The leaders of the Yasukuni shrine have long stood at the center of a movement to justify Japan's prewar conduct, arguing that Japan tried to liberate Asia from Western powers and was pushed into World War II by the United States, and that the war criminals enshrined there were innocent.
As Mr. Koizumi has led Japan to adopt a more assertive foreign policy, more politicians and public figures have also openly tried to justify Japan's past. Their message has resonated in a country where anxieties over a shrinking population, uncertain economic prospects and China's rise have led to an increase in nationalist sentiments.
Mr. Koizumi rejected criticism of his visit, saying that he was merely paying homage to Japan's war dead. "No foreign government should criticize the way we mourn our war dead," he said.
Mr. Koizumi, who arrived in his official car, said he had visited the shrine as a private citizen. He was flanked by a phalanx of bodyguards, and images of him at prayer were broadcast on television sets across the nation. To play down the significance of his visit, he wore a gray suit, in contrast to the formal wear of his previous visits. He also refrained from entering the inner shrine and did not follow the precise Shinto ritual of bowing and clapping.
While campaigning for his party leadership in 2001, Mr. Koizumi promised the politically powerful JapanWar-Bereaved Families Association that he would visit the shrine every year. So he has found himself cornered every year: yield to outside criticism and risk losing the backing of his nationalist supporters, or go to Yasukuni and enrage Asia. He has chosen the second option, and possible successors in his party have said they will continue the visits. The political opposition has called for an end to the visits and the construction of a new, secular memorial.
But Kakutaro Kitashiro, the chairman of the Japan Association of Corporate Executives, another powerful association that supported Mr. Koizumi last month, was more critical, saying, "We hope that he will fully recognize that it might damage our national interest, that careful explanations must be given to our neighboring countries, and that diplomatic efforts must be made to gain their understanding."
