National holiday of Japan - Emperor’s Birthday

Emperor Naruhito celebrates his birthday on 23 February and the day is Japan’s national holiday.

The currently reigning Emperor ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne on 1 May 2019. The birthday of his father Emperor Akihito, who abdicated on 30 April 2019, was traditionally celebrated during his reign as a national holiday of Japan on 23 December.  

We would like to extend our wishes prosperity and every happiness to all Japanese citizens and fans of Japan worldwide.
