Pope Francis reaches Japan to begin a four-day tour of the country, the first papal visit to the land in nearly four decades.
The Pontiff is scheduled to meet with Japan's Emperor Naruhito and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and visit a number of memorial sites, according to a statement from the Vatican.
On Sunday, Francis will travel to Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where the United States dropped atomic bombs to end World War II. He will deliver a remarks on nuclear weapons in the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Park and celebrate a mass in the city's baseball stadium.
