Japan Emperor Makes First Trip to Disaster Zone

The Japan Emperor and Empress made their first trip back to the disaster area of the earthquake and tsunami which occurred on March 11, 2011. While they were at the disaster zone they visited a evacuation shelter not far from Tokyo. The Emperor and Empress knelt and spoke to the lucky people who were able to get out of the earthquake while they bowed their heads and weeped. The Emperor and Empress plan to go to other sites such as this in the upcoming weeks.


I think that the Emperor and Empress should have done this earlier. I don't understand why it took so long for them to go back to this disaster they should pay their respect to those who have lost the lives of their loved ones and who have lost their homes.
