Pope visits Japan for first time in 38 years

Pope Francis has left Thailand for Japan for the first papal visit there in almost 40 years. This is part of his 32nd Apostolic Journey that includes a family reunion in Bangkok and takes his anti-nuclear message to Japan. He met newly enthroned Japanese Emperor Naruhito in Tokyo on November 25, 2019, the day after visiting Hiroshima where he remembered the country's atomic bomb victims.
