'The spiritual guru will visit southwestern city of Fukuoka to deliver a talk on 'Compassionate Mind: Key to a Happy Life',' he added.

The Nobel Peace laureate last visited Japan in November 2007 at the invitation of the All-Japan Buddhist Federation and the Kanagawa Buddhist Federation.
In recent months, the spiritual leader had cancelled his visits to Europe, Mexico and Dominican Republic after complaining of fatigue. He was recently operated upon in New Delhi for removal of stones in the gall bladder.
After returning from Japan, he is set to visit Pune, Meerut and New Delhi for delivering sermons in the second week of November.
