STORYLINE:

Britain's Prince Charles said on Tuesday that the current financial crisis should not distract the world from the larger issue of global warming.

"The credit crunch is rightly a preoccupation of vast significance and importance. But we take our eye off the climate crunch at our peril," he said in a speech at a science museum in Tokyo.

The heir to the British throne is visiting the world's second-largest economy for the first time since 1970.

His arrival coincides with plunging global markets and recession fears.

The prince has made saving the environment the theme of his trip, and spoke on Tuesday after viewing exhibits related to global warming at Japan's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

He called on advanced nations to cut carbon emissions by 70 to 80 percent by the year 2050.

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were greeted by Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko at the Imperial palace.

Earlier on Tuesday Prince Charles received a warm welcome in front of the Tokyo museum, as dozens of schoolchildren waving British flags greeted his motorcade.

He sprinkled some local dialect in his speech, beginning with "Ladies and gentlemen, konnichi wa," using the Japanese phrase for "good afternoon".

He also emphasised the business ties between Britain and Japan, and praised the country for its role in the adoption by many countries of the Kyoto Protocol, while emphasising that further progress was necessary to stave off global warming.

The prince has increasingly used his publicity to highlight environmental problems.

He has made efforts to cut his overall annual carbon dioxide production, including converting his 38-year old Aston Martin to run on bioethanol from surplus wine, while his Jaguars, Audi and Range Rover now take biodiesel made from used cooking oil.

The prince is in the midst of a four-day jaunt through the country with his wife, which coincides with the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Britain and Japan.

Earlier the royal couple visited Tokyo's prestigious Keio University. There they were treated to a display of traditional kabuki theatre and a demonstration of kendo, a Japanese martial art using sticks.

They are also due to visit a solar panel lab, meet ecology students and tour a sustainable forest site, before continuing on to Brunei and Indonesia.

STORYLINE:

Britain's Prince Charles visited Tokyo's prestigious Keio University with his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles on Tuesday on the second day of their visit to Japan.

It was Prince Charles' first visit to Japan in 18 years.

At the university the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall watched a display of traditional kabuki theatre and a demonstration of kendo, a Japanese martial art using sticks.

Later in the day the royal couple were scheduled to have dinner with Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.

The royal visit to Japan was timed to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the two countries' signing a trade and friendship treaty.

During the visit the royal couple are also scheduled to visit the city of Nara to see the restoration work at the Shosoin treasure house in the Todai temple, as well as the Afan Woodland in Nagano Prefecture where British author and active environmentalist C.W. Nicol is undertaking forest regeneration work.

Prince Charles last visited Japan in 1990 with his late wife Princess Diana, when he represented Queen Elizabeth II at the crowning of Emperor Akihito.

His second wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, is on her first official visit to Japan.

They were due to meet Prime Minister Taro Aso in Tokyo on Wednesday.
