Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan arrived in Mongolia on July 6, 2025, for a week-long state visit. They were welcomed at the Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar, the capital, by Mongolia’s Foreign Minister, Batmunkh Battsetseg. Emperor Naruhito previously visited Mongolia in 2007 as Crown Prince.
During their eight-day trip, which runs through July 13, the imperial couple are scheduled to lay flowers at a memorial honoring Japanese nationals who died in internment camps there after the war. They will also attend the opening ceremony of Naadam, Mongolia’s annual festival celebrating the traditional “three manly games”: horseracing, wrestling, and archery.
I love the faded pastel colours of Empress Masako's suit. Reminds me of ice-cream in this heat we're having. I also note the Emperor's matching tie, and the elaborate costumes of the Mongolian people. What a treat to look forward to over the next week.

J’ai été surprise par les lignes sous l’article qui indiquaient que le ministre mongol des Affaires étrangères, Batmunkh Battsetseg avait accueilli le couple impérial japonais car il fallait plutôt lire « madame la ministre… » !
ردحذفJe ne comprends pas ton comment Achard? In English we have no distinction in title for female or male, hence she is referred to as Minister. Unsure what the titles may be in Mongolian and whether there’s a sex difference in title there.
حذفAs usual Empress Masako provides a masterclass in soft tailoring. Lovely!
ردحذفThe way this lady wears a hat is absolute stunning🤩 Maja
حذفHow wonderful to see her on overseas engagements. She has done several since being Empress. She looks lovely BTW. Hope there are many more pictures to come with them visiting Mongolia. I wish them the best.

A week-long state visit in Mongolia is an unusual thing - does anyone have insight into why Mongolia and why so long?
ردحذفAre the ladies in the gorgeous outfits offering something to eat? after all that hand shaking who would want to eat with their hands
ردحذفこれはモンゴルの客人を歓迎する習慣で、このアーロールという乳製品は、乾燥したチーズのような酸味のあるお菓子だそうです。
حذف両陛下は「おいしかった」と感想を述べられたと報道されました。
9:37, when we travel and are offered local hospitality, we absorb local cultures and leave ours substantially behind out of respect.
