| Former Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui waves to onlookers as he arrives at the Kurashiki Chuo Hospital in Okayama Prefecture. |
Lee's spokesman, part of Taiwan's representative office in Tokyo, told reporters that Lee will stay at Kurashiki Central Hospital instead of returning Tuesday to Osaka as previously planned.
Lee arrived in Kurashiki earlier Tuesday by car from Osaka, where he has been staying since his arrival in Japan on Sunday.
The main purpose of his five-day trip was to undergo the checkup. He underwent an angioplasty to clear clogged arteries in November in Taipei.
