The Imperial Palace, in the centre of Tokyo, is among Japan's most popular tourist destinations.
Priests bow at the end of a Shinto ritual during the annual spring festival at the Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo on April 22, 2020. A Japanese man was arrested in Tokyo on Monday after swimming across the Imperial Palace’s moat to scale an outer wall, entering off-limits parts of the grounds, police said.
No other details were immediately available, including the man’s identity or motive for the incursion.The man is not the first to be arrested for breaching the palace’s defences. A year earlier a Japanese man was detained after being discovered inside palace grounds — also in his underwear. He told police he had swum across the moat and wanted to meet the emperor.
