United States President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are visiting Tokyo, Japan, in the first state visit of a foreign leader in the country’s Reiwa era.

The Reiwa Era began on 1 May 2019, the day on which Emperor Akihito’s elder son, Naruhito, ascended the throne as the 126th Emperor of Japan.

President Trump will meet with Emperor Naruhito and attend a sumo wrestling tournament during their visit.

In honor of the US President’s historic visit Japan lit up the famous Tokyo Skytree in stars and stripes.
