Imperial House of Japan Year Founded: 660 BCE (according to legend, but cited as the official founding date) First Monarch: Emperor Jimmu Current Monarch: Emperor Akihito Current Heir Apparent: Crown Prince Naruhito According to legend, the Imperial House of Japan was founded in 660 BCE by Japan’s first Emperor, Jimmu, making it the oldest continuous hereditary monarchy in the world. Although Japan’s monarchy has mythological origins, the country recognizes February 11, 660 BCE as the official date of its founding. Japan’s imperial house recognizes 125 monarchs beginning with Emperor Jimmu, but existing records of the royal line of succession only date back to Emperor Ōjin, who ruled in the early 4th century. The current emperor of Japan is Emperor Akihito, who ascended the throne on January 7, 1989; his heir and eldest son is Crown Prince Naruhito. #info #EverythingsInfo
