The government has begun to postpone the visit of the Emperor and Empress to the United Kingdom, which had been coordinated around early May, for the time being, considering the worldwide spread of the new coronavirus.
The Emperor and Empress were making adjustments in the direction of a friendly visit to England as a state guest, with a schedule of about one week from the beginning of May as the first foreign visit after the throne of the Emperor.
The government has begun considering delays in this regard, given that the spread of the new coronavirus is expanding not only in Japan but also worldwide.
Government officials have stated that the visit in spring is tough, and that this is the first foreign visit since the throne, and that both Japan and the United Kingdom need to be prepared with thorough preparations.
In addition, the government will celebrate the feast of “Ritsuko no Rei” in next month, which widely informs both inside and outside that Akishinomiya has become the “Koji” of the throne of the throne. We will reconsider the implementation of the Miyanaka Feast Ceremony, including cancellations and downsizing.
