Amending the Japanese Constitution is a challenging and lengthy process that usually takes several years. Since its adoption in 1947, the Constitution has been amended only three times: in 1947, 1952, and 1959.

The amendment process is outlined in Article 96 of the Constitution. It requires a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the Japanese Diet (legislature), and approval by a simple majority in a national referendum. Additionally, the amendment must be approved by the Emperor.

There are a number of reasons why the Constitution is rarely amended. One is that the Constitution is considered sacred by many Japanese people, and there is a strong sense of ownership over it. Another is that amending the Constitution is a divisive and contentious process that requires broad consensus, which can be difficult to achieve.
