Japan's Emperor and Empress parade in Tokyo, 3 weeks after the enthronement ceremony
On Sunday, Emperor of Japan, Emperor Naruhito (59), and his wife, Empress Masako (55), were paraded in Central Tokyo, celebrating Emperor Naruhito’s enthronement in May. The enthronement succeeded Emperor Emeritus Akihito who abdicated from the Chrysanthemum Throne in April.The enthronement parade, supposedly held on the same day as the enthronement ceremony, “Sokuirei Seiden no gi”, saw its postponement for almost three weeks after the ceremony on 22 October due to the devastation laid waste by typhoon no. 19, dubbed as Typhoon Hagibis.
The postponement was formally announced three days after Emperor Naruhito stated his condolences for devastation, the 89 lives, and six missing people taken by Hagibis in its wake.
The royal couple went out from the Imperial Palace at 3.00 p.m JST. They rode the open-top, convertible sedan Toyota Century with imperial crest. From cars provided by five automotive brands, the Imperial Household Agency picked Toyota Century for its safety and environmental performance. The convertible sedan cost around ¥80 million, including remodeling.
The parade involved 50 vehicles, forming 400m motorcade. Following Emperor’s Toyota Century, there was the younger brother of the Emperor, Crown Prince Fumihito, and his wife Crown Princess Kiko; and, the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe.
The 4.6km route spanned from Imperial Palace to the Akasaka Palace. The procession also passed the Metropolitan Police Department and the main gate of the Diet building.
Tens of thousands of onlookers lined up along the route waving flags to celebrate with the Emperor and Empress. The security for the parade was tight. About 26,000 police officers were deployed; ID check and baggage inspection were mandatory. For the Emperor and Empress of Japan, the parade was their second since its first in 1993 celebrating their marriage.
On 1 May, Emperor Naruhito succeeded Emperor Emeritus Akihito when he decided to abdicate the throne becoming the first Japanese monarch to leave the throne in about two millennia.
