The state funeral for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to cost 1.66 billion yen, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said Tuesday.
The bulk of the money, some 1.41 billion yen, will be spent on security and hospitality.
The government has already decided to spend 249.4 million yen from its reserve fund on the funeral, which is slated to be held at the Nippon Budokan arena in Tokyo on Sept. 27.
