Tokyo ward 1st in Japan to recognize same sex marriage

Koyuki Higashi, right, and Hiroko Masuhara, a rare visible and vocal lesbian couple in Japan, smile with a rainbow banner reading: "Thank you, Shibuya" in front of Shibuya ward office in Tokyo after Shibuya ward became the first locale in Japan to recognize same sex partnerships as the "equivalent of a marriage," guaranteeing the identical rights of married couples with a landmark vote by the ward assembly Tuesday, March 31, 2015. The couple said they moved to Shibuya four months ago, just to apply for a same sex marriage certificate. They have been together for three years, and held a symbolic wedding at Tokyo DisneySea two years ago.

He couldn't before, because same sex marriages weren't recognized in Japan, and he is legally a woman.
