They did not say the game is disrespectful. They were worried that if players can deface of destroy a temple or harm people with a katana ingame, they might be inspired to do it in real life too. Ubisoft released a patch that now made shrines indestructible.

The response from the prime minister is really just about being worried people copy the ingame behavior of destroying a shrine, to real life.

So saying "Japan" says the "game is disrespectful" is just not true.
