At Tokyo's Imperial Palace, Pope Francis held a private audience with Japanese Emperor Naruhito on Monday morning.

The meeting is one event amongst a busy day of activities for 82 year-old pope in Tokyo, including meeting with the victims of Fukushima nuclear accident, a rally with young people and Mass at the Tokyo Dome. At the end of the day, he delivers his main political speech to Abe and government authorities. Francis wraps up his weeklong trip to Asia with a speech Tuesday at Sophia University, Japan's main Catholic university.
