Events in the year 1960 in Japan. It corresponds to Shōwa 35 (昭和35年) in the Japanese calendar.

1960 was a year of prolonged and intense political struggles in Japan. The massive and often quite violent Miike Coal Mine Strike at the Miike Coal Mine in Kyushu lasted nearly the entire year, and the massive nationwide Anpo Protests against renewal of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty carried over from 1959 and climaxed in June, forcing the resignation of Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi and the cancellation of a planned visit to Japan by then-American President Dwight D. Eisenhower.[1] In October, Japan Socialist Party Chairman Inejirō Asanuma was assassinated by a right-wing nationalist during a debate in the runup to that year's general election.
