Pope Francis landed, Saturday, November 23, in Japan, beginning the second leg of a trip to Asia, that first took him to Thailand.
In wet and windy weather conditions, officials and schoolchildren greeted Francis with a welcome ceremony at Tokyo-Haneda Airport.
His trip will include visits to the historic cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where Francis is expected to deliver a strong anti-nuclear peace message at Hypocenter Park, Sunday, which was built exactly where an atomic bomb exploded in 1945.
