Shinzo Abe was attacked with a firearm during an event campaigning in the Nara region and his condition is unknown, the government said.
He was making a campaign speech at a rally ahead of elections for the upper legislative house on Sunday when gunshots were heard, NHK and the Kyodo news agency said.
“Former Prime Minister Abe was shot at around 11:30 a.m. (0230 GMT) in Nara. A man believed to be the attacker is in custody,” Japanese chief of staff Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters.
“Whatever the reason, a barbaric act like this cannot be tolerated and we strongly condemn it,” the chief of staff said.
It was a shocking development for a country with a low level of criminal violence and harsh laws against the possession of weapons.
