Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko Visit the 74th Kanto–Tokai Flower Exhibition

On January 30, 2026, Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko, accompanied by their second daughter, Princess Kako, visited the Sunshine City Cultural Center in Toshima, Tokyo, where they toured the 74th Kanto–Tokai Flower Exhibition. This year’s theme of the Kanto–Tokai Flower Exhibition is ‘A Journey to Tochigi: An Invitation to a Life of Flowers'.

The exhibition features more than 1,500 flowers and foliage plants cultivated by producers from 12 prefectures across the Kanto and Tokai regions. It is organised by one metropolitan area and 11 prefectures from the Kanto–Tokai region, together with five floriculture-related organisations, with the aim of deepening public understanding of flowers and encouraging greater flower consumption.
