The government of Japan is a constitutional monarchy. The power of emperor is limited and he is the symbol of state and unity of people. Power is held chiefly by the Prime Minister of Japan and other elected members of the Diet. Sovereignty is vested in the Japanese people. The Emperor effectively acts as the head of state on diplomatic occasions. Akihito is the current Emperor of Japan. Naruhito, Crown Prince of Japan, stands as next in line to the throne. Japan's legislative organ is the National Diet, a bicameral parliament. The Diet consists of a House of Representatives, containing 480 seats, elected by popular vote every four years or when dissolved and a House of Councilors of 242 seats, whose popularly elected members serve six-year terms. Prime Minister is the head of state and cabinet. He appoints and dismisses the members of state. Overall work of nation is done through parliamentary form of government.
