The government decided on Wednesday to arrange two flower stands in a park near Nippon Budokan in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, the venue for the state funeral of Abe, who was fatally shot in July.
The stands, to be set up at Kudanzaka Park, will be open for members of the public to leave flowers from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. next Tuesday, the day of the state funeral.
Items other than flowers can not be offered. Security checks will take place, and access to other areas will be restricted.
