Modi will meet Abe's wife Akie Abe during his 12-16 hours stay in Japan and also hold bilateral talks with his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida.
Abe was shot dead while making a campaign speech in July in the southern Japanese city of Nara.
"I'm travelling to Tokyo tonight to participate in the state funeral of former PM Shinzo Abe, a dear friend and a great champion of India-Japan friendship. I will be conveying heartfelt condolences to Prime Minister Kishida and Mrs. Abe on behalf of all Indians. We will continue working to further strengthen India-Japan relations as envisioned by Abe San," Modi tweeted ahead of his departure.
