The Emperor's Birthday follows the reigning emperor: since 2020 it is February 23, the birthday of Emperor Naruhito, who came to the Chrysanthemum Throne in 2019. The chrysanthemum is the imperial crest, and on the day the Imperial Palace in Tokyo opens its inner grounds for the Emperor to greet the crowds.
