Later Tuesday, the 59-year-old emperor and his wife Masako, a Harvard-educated former diplomat, will host a court banquet, to be attended by about 400 foreign dignitaries and representatives from Japan's administrative, legislative and judicial branches and their spouses.
A parade originally planned for Tuesday afternoon has been postponed until Nov 10 due to a deadly typhoon that caused flooding and other damage in central and northern Japan.
