It took place from 11:30 am local time in front of the US Capitol in Washington, DC (Capital Hill, upper right of the image) and a parade from the inaugural address after the inaugural address to the White House (bottom left in the image) I am planning to participate in the ball with Mrs. Michelle. Since the appearance of the inauguration ceremony seems to be relayed on television, the Internet, and so on, many people are trying to sit up late at night and witness this historical moment.

By the way, the salary of the President of the United States is annual$ 400,000(About 36.14 million yen) and that. Since the Prime Minister of Japan is about 40 million yen, it seems that it is roughly the same degree, although it depends on the exchange rate.
