Princess Kako Meets Young Junior Reporters at the Akasaka Residence

On the morning of August 19, 2026, Princess Kako met with the 61st group of Okinawan “Junior Reporters” at the Akasaka East Residence in Tokyo. The annual programme gives elementary and junior high school students from Okinawa the opportunity to experience reporting activities. This year, 35 students, ranging from the fifth grade of elementary school to the third year of junior high school, travelled to Tokyo.

The Imperial Family’s exchanges with the “Junior Reporters” began in 1963 under the Emperor Emeritus and were later continued by the current Emperor and Empress. Since the start of the Reiwa era, the programme has been undertaken by the Akishino family. This was Princess Kako’s second meeting with the “Junior Reporters”

On August 19, Princess Kako attended the send-off ceremony for Japan’s delegation to the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games at a hotel in Minato, Tokyo. During the ceremony, representatives of the Japanese team expressed their determination ahead of the Games, and Princess Kako applauded them. The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are scheduled to open on September 19.
