TOKYO - Divers scoured moats around the Imperial Palace and police dogs sniffed in bushes on Monday as authorities ramped up security for the start of Japan’s new “Reiwa” imperial era.
Police stepped up security at the Imperial Palace, a 115 hectare site that is home to the emperor and empress in the heart of Tokyo. Kyodo News said several thousand police officers will provide security for the ceremonies and a public appearance by the new emperor on Thursday when huge crowds of well-wishers are expected.
