Prince William visits traditional Japanese garden
Prince William took a speedboat ride across Tokyo Harbour on this morning after arriving in Japan for a four-day visit.
Despite heavy rain and strong winds, the Duke of Cambridge's boat sailed from the airport and under the iconic Rainbow Bridge, before heading to the Hama Rikyu garden, a traditional Japanese garden in central Tokyo.
Tokyo Governor Yoichi Masuzoe escorted the Prince on the boat as it made its way around the bay area which will be a venue for some sports at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
It's the first visit to the country by the Duke of Cambridge.
His wife Kate, pregnant with the royal couple's second child, stayed at home.
