Oh, yeah. Their current constitution was actually imposed on them by the U.S. after WWII. I think part of the reason separation of religion and state was included was because prior to that, the emperor was looked upon as divine.

I read the English online Asahi Shimbun on a regular basis, and there have been lawsuits about Koizumi's Yasukuni visits. I think at least once a court ruled that hsi visits were unconstitutional.
