The state funeral of Hirohito (Emperor Shōwa), the 124th Emperor of Japan, was attended by a significant number of dignitaries from Japan, 163 foreign countries and 27 international institutions. The funeral on 24 February 1989 comprised a series of religious and state ceremonies at the Shinjuku Gyo-en in Tokyo.
700 foreign dignitaries participated in the event, which was attended by roughly 10,000 official guests in total. They included nine monarchs, 33 presidents, 13 prime ministers, and members of the diplomatic corps in Japan.[1] This made it the largest gathering of international leaders at that time for a state funeral, surpassing that of Josip Broz Tito in 1980. It would stand for the next 16 years until Pope John Paul II's funeral in 2005.
