Mr. and Mrs. Akishino have a residence to visit Ise Jingu, etc. as an event accompanying Mr. Akishino's "Rikkoshi no Rei", which was postponed due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. I left the Akasaka Imperial Land.
Mr. and Mrs. Akishino left the Akasaka Imperial Property in Minato-ku, Tokyo, where they live, by car after 8:30 am on the 20th.
It was the first time in two years and three months since January that the Akishino Miya and his wife visited the region together at the memorial ceremony for the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and the Imperial Household Agency has decided to take thorough infection control measures this time. We did not use the Shinkansen, and most of the journey was by car.
The couple will take a break to travel for about 6 hours to Ise Jingu in Mie Prefecture, and will arrive on the afternoon of the 20th.
Then, on the 21st, we visited the outer and inner shrines of Ise Jingu and announced that the "Rikkoshi no Rei" was over, which widely communicated to the inside and outside that Akishino was the "Imperial" who was ranked first in the succession to the throne. Will be reported.
On the 22nd, we will visit the Mausoleum of Emperor Shinbu in Nara Prefecture and the Mausoleum of Emperor Meiji in Kyoto Prefecture.
Mr. Akishino attended the "Rikkoshi no Rei" in November, but his visit to Ise Jingu and other places was postponed due to the spread of the infection.
