The resignation of the four cabinet ministers is the latest blow to Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's increasingly unpopular government.
Four cabinet ministers in Japan quit on Thursday over a fundraising scandal involving the ruling party's most powerful faction.
More than 500 million yen is alleged to have ended up in slush funds over a five-year period through to 2022.
Tokyo prosecutors have also launched a corruption probe.
It is the latest blow to Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's increasingly unpopular government, whose approval ratings have plunged.
Public support for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party which has been in power almost continuously since 1955, fell below 30 per cent for the first time since 2012.
Voters have been angered by inflation, as well as Mr. Kishida's handling of earlier scandals.
