Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako are paying state visits to the Netherlands and Belgium. On the morning of 13 June, the Emperor and Empress departed from Haneda Airport aboard a government aircraft for their official visits to the Netherlands and Belgium. As state guests in both countries, they will attend welcoming events, including state banquets.
The state visit to the Netherlands will take place from 17 to 19 June 2026. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima will officially welcome Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako at Dam Square in Amsterdam. The state visit to Belgium will officially begin on Tuesday, 23 June, with a ceremonial welcome at Place des Palais (Palace Square) in Brussels.
I am so looking forward to this visit! They all have warm bonds with each other and so much history together. Too bad Aiko doesn't accompany them to meet the younger royals.
ردحذفWow, they are leaving early. They probably have planned other visits too while they are in Europe. I know it will be CP Elisabeth who will welcome them at the Airport upon their arrival in Belgium.
ردحذفThey will stay privately with the Belgian Royal Family over the weekend.
حذفA lovely elegant less-is-more suit of the empress. The classic colour combination blue-white looks in this case very summery because of the bright blue colour.
ردحذفOne of the best suits she has. Great colour for her, good fit and the tie adds a feminine touch
ردحذفTrès élégant le tailleur de Masako dont le bleu lumineux se retrouve dans la cravate de son époux toujours vêtu avec soin ; j’ai hâte de les voir arrivés !
ردحذفThey both look very happy in the last picture. They will stay privately for the first nights in The Netherlands, I believe.
ردحذفSuch a lovely couple,this imperial Japanese couple. The Emperor, so considerate to his wife and the Empress smiling and relaxed, no longer ill and depressed.
ردحذفOuah ! quelle extravagance pour Mako cet ensemble bleu
ردحذفI find this royal couple so charming. Hope they have a great trip to Europe!
