Japan's Emperor Naruhito, who is visiting the UK, inspected the Thames Barrier, which protects London from floods, on the 24th.
The "Thames Barrier" is the world's largest movable barrier that protects London from floods caused by storm surges. The Emperor studied the history of Thames River waterways during his study abroad and has made water problems his lifelong mission.
Wearing a helmet, the Emperor walked directly on top of the sluice gate, smiling at the press and waving his hand. He asked several questions about the structure and operation with a lively expression.
The Emperor said that such facilities will become more important in the future as the possibility of storm surges increases due to the effects of global warming.
Meanwhile, in London, preparations for the Emperor and Empress' welcoming parade, which will be held on the 25th, are underway. The route was confirmed using a horse-mounted guard and the carriage that the Emperor and Empress will ride. Citizens said, "It's just a rehearsal, but it's really impressive. I can imagine what tomorrow will be like."
The Emperor and Empress will attend a welcoming ceremony and dinner as state guests on the 25th.
