Her party (the LDP) has been in power (except for like 4 years) for 6 decades straight. Turns out classic liberals (ie conservatives) don’t have any answers when things start going to shit.
I just looked it up and 26 out of the nation’s 28 presidents have all been LDP. They have dominated since 1955.
In other words, Japan has also seen tremendous growth under the LDP. So it seems a bit reductionist to judge the party based on the performance of the past 10 years.

Japan has had a “Lost Decade” of economic stagnation since the 1990s.
